War of Recovery
From Warhammer 40k - Lexicanum
The War of Recovery was an expedition by the Adeptus Mechanicus which began in 104.M36 after technological wonders were rumored to have been sighted on the planets of the Mortuam Chain. Hoping STCs can be recovered, the Mechanicus launches an expedition[1] in which twelve Knightly Houses were involved[2] that escalates into a war lasting over a century. Aided by the weaponry they recover, the Mechanicus forces manage to free the human colonists of the Mortuam Chain from Xenos occupation and several first generation STC copies are returned to Mars for evaluation.[1]
