Even by Imperial standards, the war on Tranch has been a brutal and thankless affair. What started out as a simple mutant uprising on an unimportant minor hive world quickly escalated into political collapse and a catastrophic civil conflict drawing in forces from all over the sector to contain it. Even though the war’s heat has quelled now from the quarter-million strong troop landings six years ago that broke the insurrection’s back, the slow burning, bitter conflict has continued on a world tainted, twisted, and brutalized by centuries of malice and festering despair. Today the efforts to rebuild the world and re-establish order continue, and fresh regiments are continually cycled-in for tours of duty to brave the fire-blackened spires and the treacherous dark furnaces of the Soot Warrens. Their thankless and dangerous task is to defend the remaining citizenry, to bring Tranch slowly to heel and prevent the festering enemies of mankind from claiming the place again. Those Guardsmen who survive their time on Tranch rarely speak openly of their experiences, but the memories never leave them. Stories of starving refugees, oppressive dark catacombs, savage attacks by scav-cannibal infiltrators, of the pale and terrible witch-kin, and of seeing friends torn apart by “twist-brutes” are all whispered among Tranch veterans in the long watches of the night.

The cruel warzone of Tranch is a proving ground not only for the Imperial Guard - for the war is far from over in the eyes of those who started it. Deranged renegade Magos Biologos release their twisted creations in toxic wastes for "field-testing", hundreds of blood-hungry mercenaries are smuggled on the surface, manic "blacksmiths" guilds toil endlessly in abandoned furnaces below charred hive spires to produce weapons from scrap and leftovers, packs of former imperial citizens reduced by horrors of war to scavenging beasts stalk the warrens, mutant warbands engage in bloody skirmishes with Imperial Guard patrols and each other. Pirate ships of Stilicho Station make regular trips to the planet and Navy patrols are spread too thin to stop them all. But not only opportunists and outcasts hide in the pirate holds - agents of the Pale Throng and the Brotherhood of Horned Darkness, among others, still scheme to bring low the hated Imperium.
