Shambarac System

The Shambarac System contains Imperium worlds that each hold sprawling shipyards in their orbits. Unknown to the Imperium, the System's worlds have been infected with Genestealer Cult cells from the Cult of the Four-Armed Emperor.[1]

Sometime after the Great Rift's creation, these Cult cells staged a series of uprisings, which allowed them to gain control of the System and more importantly its numerous shipyards. The cells used the shipyards to begin creating a seeding fleet, to spread their faith throughout the Sub-Sector, but a sudden convulsion of the Great Rift saw the System cut off by a ferocious Warp Storm. However, unbeknownst to the Cult cells, the Deathwatch Watch Companies of the Null Breach had been lying in wait to strike and when the Warp Storm appeared, they capitalised on the cells' confusion and attacked. The Deathwatch proceeded to take apart each of the Cult cells' upper brood structures, which left their lower orders floundering without leadership. When the Warp Storm later passed the Shambarac System, the Watch Companies returned to Null Breach and let conventional Imperial forces descend upon the leaderless Cult cells and slaughter them wholesale.[1]
