As the Clipse rediscovered subsistence agriculture, the marked asteroids began to rain ceaselessly down on the planet, "seeding" it with hostile alien life.

Under the reign of [[Emperor Calus]], the Clipse were absorbed into the [[Cabal]] empire. They grew to be one of Calus's favorite member species. Believing their condition of eternal war to be an unalterable fact, Calus provided aid in the form of high culture and luxuries in an attempt to enrich their brutal society.
