Foramen Interdictum collapses

On 2605_020M42 the Ynnari performed a ritual on Corticant that deactivated the necron device. Immediately the Foramen Interdictum began to collapse. In both the Majoris and Minoris channels roiling warp currents began moving as two great waves of energy roared towards one another, finally crashing together in a vortex of incredible power. The shockwaves from the event were felt across the sector by psykers, with many suffering a sudden and unpleasant death as their minds imploded. Close to the rift itself planets were rocked by strange psychic phenomena. Plants withered and died, time briefly flowed backwards in some places and in others, many saw the ghosts of the dead walking for up to an hour.

Only one system, Paradorn, was caught between the crashing waves of the warp. However the eldar had already planned for this. Rather than being consumed by the warp, the system, now fully occupied by the Aeldari, simply vanished from existence, as the entire system was moved into the webway. Along the channels themselves however, it was those ships and convoys making the crossing that suffered the most dreadful fate. Hundreds of ships were caught in the warp itself as the Foramen collapsed. Badly needed supplies, mostly imperial, would never make it to their destinations. For the lucky few in the centre of the maelstrom the end came quickly as their ships were simply obliterated by the waves of warp energy crashing into them. Others were less fortunate as their Gellar fields simply collapsed under the pressure, and the denizens of the warp quickly entered the ships to feast on the souls aboard.

Within hours the storm had calmed and the Cicatrix Maledictum was once again an unbroken line from one end of the galaxy all the way to the last remaining stable channel - the Foramen Ancilla, held open for the Federacy and the Tau to maintain their forces by consent, at least for now, of the Aeldari. The device on Corticant, now inert, was taken by the Ynarri, who now had two of the five known devices. In the Perseus Deeps and beyond, Imperial forces were now in a serious position. Cut off from supply from the sector capital at Vastrid, the armies of the Emperor would now have to rely on local supply, but the Imperium lacked the number of major worlds to do this. Only Bastien qualified as a major supply hub, as the rest of the Imperium's holdings could only be described as outposts or minor worlds.
