A " Gehenna War" between the Camarilla and the Sabbat is being waged in the Middle East and the disputed regions of Ukraine. The Anarchs however, after years of flagging strength and influence in Kindred politics, have received an enormous shot in the arm in numbers and leadership, given both the provocative nature of the policy enticing Kindred to the cause, as well as the walk-out of the vast remainder of the Brujah towards the sect at the Conclave of Prague, staged in solidarity with defecting clan luminary Theo Bell. As a display of authority over the Kindred cause against the Second Inquisition, the Camarilla declared at the Conclave of Galloway that every Kindred not aligned with them was an enemy, causing a permanent rupture in relations between themselves and the Anarch movement. Now unable to form blood bonds with fellow Kindred at all, the clan has now split into four houses: House Tremere (now led by Karl Schrekt), still aligned with the Camarilla and seeking to uphold the nominal order of the Pyramid by conventional (or other) means the Anarch-aligned and seemingly leaderless Ipsissimus the intersectarian House Carna (lead by Carna herself) and the returning House Goratrix, although their status is not well known. The loss of important unlife caused the blood bond holding together the entire international hierarchy of the Pyramid to recoil and collapse. The Second Inquisition's first direct, major act against Kindred society was destroying Clan Tremere's Vienna Chantry, the center of the Clan, with a devastating drone attack, under the false flag of a terrorist attack. The need for dismantling SchreckNet on such short notice has also inspired the Camarilla to adopt an official policy of technophobia, no longer allowing any of its members to use any form of electronic communication. The NSA were unable to capture a complete archive of it before engineers from Clan Nosferatu realized what had happened and purged the database under orders from the Camarilla, but they did manage to retrieve a cache of data on Clan Giovanni that had been deliberately left for them to find. 
The first casualty of the SI, SchreckNet has been dismantled after being discovered by the National Security Agency. 
It is also known as the Second Inquisition. That unit, codenamed FIRSTLIGHT, was established to exterminate the "blankbody" population. They haven't let the public or even high ranking non-agency officials in on this information, choosing to form a new unit with the Society of Leopold. Federal agencies in multiple countries have realized that vampires exist and the power they have over global finance and politics.
