The Fang, vampiric scions of an advanced civilization, rules the stars with an imperial fist. The Claw, a lycanthrope warrior society, ensures the universe remains on bended knee. Their union brought an age old crusade for absolute dominance, but it came at a great cost. Sustenance reserves grew low as civilizations were destroyed by The Draconis Fleet. Vampires and werewolves grew mad from hunger. It was known as The Violent Urge, and it threw the Imperium into chaos. Look now to Iephus, a lone planet which holds the overlord’s most precious resource: Humanity. Grand Maester Viktor Frankenstein shepherds its population for The Fang and Claw’s survival. Thanks to the Evolutionarian’s profound expertise on cloning, and The Witch Coven of Sanguine’s skill with soul siphoning, a constant food source kept the Imperium from eating itself alive.
The fall of one crisis brought forth another. Within the tomes of Grand Maester Frankenstein’s Laboratorium Index, a tainted codex overrode an ambitious Warlock. The Iron Jackal AI, Imhotep, rebooted inside the man’s cybernetically enhanced body. Its Anubis Programming reinitiated itself, birthing The Obsidian Pharaoh. Imhotep began a rapid conversion that effected millions, tainting human flesh to serve his Undaunted Army. The Emerald Necropolis rose between night and day to declare war against the living.
The initial plan was to transfer the humans off world and bombard the blight from orbit, but this couldn’t be done without major consequence. When human cattle was first transported off world long ago, dying as soon as they went beyond Iephus’ gravity well. This problem was never solved, and the only man who could figure out the solution, Grand Maester Frankenstein, was kidnapped by The Obsidian Pharaoh.
Magnate Dracul’s harvest is threatened by the rot of Imhotep, who provokes The Violent Urge and seeks to convert all to his Undaunted army. The Draconis Fleet is called to action. Among them is The Bloodhound Elite, who are ready to prevent the Imperium from atrophy at all costs.
