Meanwhile, on the other side of this galaxy (opposite the Empire's Hypergate), a Warp Storm appears. But the Unity didn't summon this one. It came because of far greater powers.

The Warp is like the corrupted version of Hyperspace. Travel through it is about as fast, but people traveling it require some method of anchoring down reality in their ship. Otherwise, all kinds of impossible things (e.g. demons eat the whole ship, the ship goes backwards in time, the ship gets stuck for 10 thousand years, etc) might happen.

Residing within the Warp are four Chaos Gods and their underlings (read: all kinds of demons, each with unique powers). They have sense the opening of the Hypergate in this galaxy, and decided to take over this galaxy as a way to boost their power. They live off of the emotions and actions of sentient beings, so more sentients = more powerful Chaos Gods.

(The galaxies that the members of the Unity live in are all infested by the Chaos Gods. The colony ships were meant as a way for the Unity to survive if the Chaos Gods decided to vaporize everything.)

As of now the Chaos Gods are observing everybody. They are looking for an opportunity to activate their plan.
