At the start of the Heresy, the Great Crusade was still in progress. Yes, it was winding down, but there were still huge numbers of Expeditionary Fleets, many of which were heavily engaged bringing human cultures to Compliance or exterminating xenos breeds. The Consuls could be in such a situation or find themselves having to fight a battle on two fronts due to an enemy Imperial fleet translating into the system.
