Wars of the Paraxial Succession
From Warhammer 40k - Lexicanum
The Wars of the Paraxial Succession began in 917.M41, when the Adeptus Terra praelect of the Medea Cluster, Lord Sector Parax, was discovered to be a mutant and was accused of being in league with the Chaos Gods. He was later executed before a court of his peers without trial, but with no successor in place the Adeptus Arbites Lord Marshal of the Cluster took direct control. However, the Marshal's rule was so brutal that a dozen uprisings flared up within the year and the entire Cluster soon erupted into anarchy. As the conflict wore on, the Cluster became a warzone for both Space Marines and Chaos Space Marines.[1]
