The fabric of the materium quakes as a warp rift rends itself open within the Halo Stars. In consequence the tides of the warp undulate viciously across the minds of the sons of the kraken. At the behest of the Arcanaeum Lord Xanxus Völlenhünd the council of the Gladius Lex is called to convene, it is at this convergence of the Lords of the Chapter that Xanxus shares the premonitions that recently shook the Librarius.
He spoke of a great shift within the immaterium, visions of their cousins clad in armour of ashen grey, caught in strife with Greenskins and Daemons alike, and that of a colossal hulk adrift in space. The shadow that hung slowly dispersing within the warp while relatively small in nature was not a cause of concern, but it's proximity to the Mariana certainly was, a concern that was unanimous within the Gladius Lex, and at the agreement of the two others of the Triptych, Lord Leviathan Pheadra deemed it to be worth the Void Krakens intervention. At the Lord Levianthan's call, the Strike Cruiser Drowned Angel, along with it's six escorts venture as a vanguard to the unknown anomaly that threatened the Chapter with it's presence.
Arriving from warp within a close by nebular, the small Alazathian flotilla is greeted with the sight of a mass of debris and derelict vessels that once clearly made up a greater whole of a colossal space hulk, a whole now halved, as now at the centre of the storm of wreckage, like blessed Osinia surrounded by it's ring, a mass amalgamation of ships and rock lay adrift. Preliminary aurgur array scans showed the hulk to be lifeless, though maliciousness could easily be shielded within such a bulwark of minerals and adamantium, though through further scans power signatures deep within the hulk are unveiled, and with it the dead hulk held the attention of the sons of the Kraken.
