Ergura's Fall and Haven discovered in the Hecate Gap

With multiple factions now vying for the various worlds of the Rifts of Hecate and the discovery of Orks, Tyranids and Necron forces already in situ, the attention of all the races started to turn to the Hecate Gap as 05.022M42 began. Winning worlds in the Rifts had been the aims of chaos, the Imperium and Tau, but now the realisation began to set in that if the Rift worlds fell, the Hecate Gap was not just a gateway into the region, but a way out as well.

With some urgency the Tau and Imperium in particular began to look for suitable bases in the Hecate Gap itself. Here two uninhabited worlds were identified as places to start building on and fortifying, just in case the worst were to happen and either the tyranids or emerging ork threat were to gain control of, or consume the Rifts, then use the Hecate Gap to pour out into the Hadron Expanse and beyond.
