While the battle between the Imperium and Chaos continued to rage on Mordecai Secundus, the threat from the genestealer cults was never far away, as the battle raging between the major powers effectively gave the xenos cult free reign over the Mekken Plateau. In early 02.020M42 this led to a local uprising in a host of small settlements in the shadow of this high ground, threatening the left flank of chaos positions against the Imperial invaders, and the Emerald Serpent was forced to take action.
The Emerald Serpent sent in an elite force of Thousand Sons to deal with the genestealer cult uprising, and a furious battle erupted around a major intersection leading to the plateau itself. Here the cultists made their stand, and despite facing millenia old warriors and an experienced military machine, the cultists were able to prevent the chaos forces from pushing into their heartlands. The battle did stop further disruption to chaos supply lines leading to the imperial front, but the genestealer worshippers now held sway over a significant portion of the highland region.
