Editing Scourge Stars (section)

==Overview==
[[File:Scourge_Stars_Map.jpg|400px|left|thumb|Star systems of the Scourge Stars. [[Edgy|GW's naming sense at its finest.]]]]
The Scourge Stars were originally three loyal systems of the [[Imperium of Man|Imperium,]] until [[Black Crusade|Abaddon's thirteenth bender]] caused [[Great Rift|reality to get a little funny]]. With [[Dark Imperium|half of the galaxy finding reality was out to lunch]] with communications and [[Warp]] travel virtually impossible, Ol' Morty and his boss saw a prime opportunity to troll the overly-clean [[Ultramarines]] and promptly invaded the north of Ultramar in the [[Plague Wars]].

A [[WAAAGH|WAAAGH!]] was sighted during the formation of the Scourge Stars, in which [[Warlords|Warlord]] Badsmak led a headlong charge against the Death Guard to the Galactic West of the Scourge Stars. It would have gone off swimmingly for the [[Orks]] if the opponent they faced did not possess a fucking daemon Primarch, especially one such as [[Mortarion]] who is not only an accomplished infantry commander before his heresy, but also quite adept at biological and chemical warfare after. [[Rape|As you can guess from the likely outcome,]] Warlord Badsmak got proper krumped before fleeing like a pussy. Hmmmm.....[[Ghazghkull Mag Uruk Thraka|An Ork Warlord that flees when the situation goes dire?]] [[Gorgutz 'Ead 'Unter|I wonder where I heard that before?]]

The Nurglite forces located within the Scourge Stars are commanded by three of Nurgle's greatest commanders, who are charged with the single goal of adding the worlds of Ultramar to the Chaos God's Garden. It's unknown whether the [[Plague Planet]] is considered the capitol of the Scourge Stars (seeing as how unlike [[Sortiarius]], it is still trapped in the [[Warp|Immaterium]]), but considering the strategic and religious importance of the Plague Planet, it probably is.

With the conclusion of the Plague Wars, its future is currently unclear. The forces of Nurgle seemed to withdraw from Ultramar to protect the Scourge Stars which had come under threat from other followers of Chaos. The resultant conflict is known as the "War in the Rift". It also appears as if Guilliman intends to launch a campaign against the systems in the near future.
