Battle Group Dominus is part of Indomitus Crusade Fleet Quartus, which has largely been corrupted by Khorne's Murder-Curse.[1b]

History

It was set to take part in the Dhorica Push, but was delayed by many weeks after being hit with widespread ration spoilage. This was among the numerous setbacks Fleet Quartus suffered, which caused it to fall behind the grueling schedule that Lord Commander Guilliman had set for Fleetmaster Trincus Abconcis.[1a]

Dominus was later among Quartus' Battle Groups that were still active within Imperium Sanctus[1b], while the majority of the Fleet's forces went to defend the Choral Engine on the Imperium Nihilus world, Malakbael[1a]. Despite Quartus' might, though, the psychic beacon was destroyed by the Daemon Primarch Angron, which unleashed Khorne's Murder-Curse within Malakbael's Malak System. However because of the psychic channels the Fleet's Battle Groups shared, even those outside of the System were struck by the Warp plague. It caused those infected to become servants of the Blood God, who were filled with murderous bloodlust and rage, who fell upon anyone near them. While not all those who were struck by the Murder-Curse were infected, only the Fleet's Sisters of Silence and Custodians were immune to the Warp plague. However in a stroke, eighty percent of Dominus' forces were corrupted and began rampaging within Imperium Sanctus. When the Imperium learned of the widespread infection and attacks, Fleet Quartus was declared Excommunicate Traitoris, despite millions of its forces still being uncorrupted and loyal.[1b]
