VentA mysterious warp anomaly has been appearing in the way of the dynasty's trade ships, consuming them whole. Some are confident that this entity is sentient and that these events are the actions of a cunning hunter.
YOUAllow Hann Cassini to deal with the anomaly
VentThe Navigator fearlessly guides his ship directly into the anomaly, and soon all consumed vessels begin to emerge from it. The anomaly dissipates, releasing Hann's ship last, its crew aged by decades. Now a decrepit old man, the Navigator no longer recognises familiar faces and quietly lives out his days in the ship's medicae facility, never divulging what transpired inside the anomaly.

YOUHalt all trade in the dangerous region
VentTrade grinds to a halt for a long time. The warp anomaly slowly makes its journey from system to system, as if looking for victims, before vanishing without a trace.

YOUUse psykers to study the warp anomaly
VentThe psykers perish in their attempts to comprehend this menace, but the last of them manages to deliver a message before he is turned inside out: "The offering is accepted and reciprocated." Following the incident, an increase in the number of latent psykers and warp manifestations is observed across the protectorate.
