WAR AMIDST THE HOWLING GYRE

Welcome to the Maelstrom.  In this expanse of swirling energy and detritus, realspace overlaps with the twisted insanity of the Warp.  It is a lair of outlaws and pirates, embittered exiles and the dregs of the galaxy: Human, xenos and worse besides.  There is mutation and empyric corruption here, but also opportunities to seize priceless treasures.  The Maelstrom is the haunt of Huron Blackheart, ruler of the Red Corsairs warband of Renegade Space Marines, and proclaimed by some as the Master of the Maelstrom.  Others vie with Huron's growing empire of hate-filled reavers.  The most powerful and elusive are the Aeldari Corsairs known as the Eldrich Raiders.  Under their bold fleetmaster, Prince Yriel, these Corsairs have dared to strike at Blackheart's realm.  Whether they can escape afterwards is another matter, for the tides of the infernal gyre are almost impossible to navigate.
