The Sabbat Worlds Crusade is a big part of Black Library's Warhammer 40,000 fluff about a campaign that so far has taken 23 years and counting to complete. The campaign started in 755.M41 and is still ongoing. It was a setting created by the legendary Dan Abnett for somewhere to place his first novel in the 40K universe.
History
The Sabbat Worlds is a region of space on the edge of Segmentum Pacificus that was first annexed for Imperial colonization in the 35th Millennium. This often volatile region of space is composed of over 100 inhabited star systems, subdivided into a number of discrete territories or Sub-sectors, most notably the Newfound Trailing, the Khan Group, the Cabal Systems, the Carcaradon Cluster and the Erinyes Group. It is named for the leader of the crusade that liberated them Saint Sabbat. Sabbat was a humble farm girl who had a vision from the Emperor to bring the sector into the fold of the Imperium. After a 105 year long crusade, Sabbat was slain on the world of Harkalon and immortalised as an Imperial Saint, though despite this the crusade still moved forward for a few more years after her death. Records of what happened between the end of the crusade and M.41 are scarce as the Imperium is so great at storing and archiving information (he said through gritted teeth), but over time and neglect, the system fell into a state of fighting off Chaotic forces and multiple worlds were lost or in a continuous battle for survival, with travel in and out of the sector being extremely difficult. Eventually in mid-late M.41 the Imperium was pushed out of the region, leaving most of the worlds to fend for themselves. The Highlords of Terra began to argue the point of retaking it and if the cost was worth the gain.
It was the state of the Sabbat Worlds and the disrespect to their founder, that caused Sabbats' #1 fanboy, Lord Militant Slaydo, to step forward and argue for a crusade to retake the sector. After arguing with the High Lords about how "it was wrong to abandon the worlds of an Imperial saint" followed by the more persuasive argument "if we don't clear them out there will be a great bloody nest of chaos worshippers in the segmentuim", Slaydo was granted permission to start a crusade to reclaim the sector and after being given the rank of Warmaster, he began to plan his attack strategy to reclaim his waifus worlds.
