I can't tell if I am suffering from identity theft but ok

(no seriously, please explain)

The ISS Event Horizon is destroyed by the Chaos Forces. Its distress message, though broadcasted on all channels, went unheard or is ignored. Only a nearby Battlecruiser Group heard it, but they arrived too late.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the Hypergate, in the command bridge of the Tyranus Super Star Dreadnought

[Grand Admiral Zaarin] Our long range scouts have picked up signs of a Chaos incursion into this galaxy. The ISS Event Horizon, an older type colony ship, was destroyed by a picket force of Chaos cruisers. Reinforcements arrived only to sight the last of their cruisers escaping.

[Inquisitor Jerec] The Chaos attacks upon our planets in our native galaxies are intensifying. We cannot afford to wage a multi front war for too long.

[Emperor] Push onwards. Every colony ship is to be escorted by a Star Destroyer. Trace the origin of the Chaos attacks.

[Jerec] My sources also indicates that the Foundation may or may not have an idea of the Chaos incursions. They have discovered a highly anomalous BSL-5 biohazard on a remote planet.

[Zaarin] The Tyranids?

[Jerec] No, a pathogen.

discussion continues, as the Imperial Navy start pushing their main destroyer-class ships out along with the colony ships

[Emperor] And one more thing. I sensed something extremely disturbing out in this galaxy. Not as in a Hive Fleet or the Chaos Gods. It is difficult to explain. Order the field agents to be on the lookout for especially obvious instances of heresy. I suspect I sensed one of these.

The Blood God's fleet and army has initiated a mad attack on the civilized worlds on the edge of this galaxy. They quickly defeats any resistance, before beginning their mass slaugher. The inhabitants stand no chance.

Further along, hundreds of planets (not a lot by galaxy standards) have been afflicted by deadly plagues. Their people drop dead in their tracks like moths from a flame.

(judging by the situation, this would probably be unnoticed.)
