ReavingAn officer of the augur team reports that this world, covered in thick forests and steep mountain ranges, is of no particular interest except for one fact — a fierce battle has unfolded between a group of xenos. A multitude of small ships are concentrated around one area, some of them heavily damaged or outright destroyed. Around the cluster of ships, scanners detect a plethora of xenoforms employing unidentified weapons and technology.
YOULet Marazhai take part in the melee alongside the assault squad.
ReavingAfter several long hours, Marazhai's shuttle finally docks with the Rogue Trader's voidship. Of the group that was sent to the planet's surface, only the xenos returned, covered in blood from head to toe. With a smug, snake-like smile on his face, having evidently enjoyed what happened, Marazhai hands the Lord Captain a blood-soaked trophy.

YOUWait until the xenos cut each other down, then collect the spoils.
ReavingThe landing team reports that the battlefield is littered with a multitude of xenos bodies. All of them, without exception, were killed with exquisite artistry and mind-boggling cruelty, meeting their end at the hands of their own kind. This battle left no survivors.

YOUSend an assault squad to the planet to destroy the xenos and acquire their belongings.
ReavingOf the group that was sent to the planet's surface, only four warriors returned. Gripped by the frenzy of battle, the xenos were not ready to die — hungering to hear as many death cries as possible before going down, they eagerly let the newly-arrived mon-keigh join the fighting.

ReavingHaving learned of the Rogue Trader's decision, Marazhai disappears in a fit of rage into the darkness of the ship's bowels. After several minutes, heart-rending screams can be heard from the gloom, belonging to the unfortunate soul who fell into the irate xenos's hands — screams which echo for a long time under the arches of the ship.

YOUDestroy all the xenos with a well-placed shot from orbit.
ReavingPowerful blasts from the ship's weaponry tear up the world's surface, turning the battlefield into a killing ground for the xenos. The latter are joined by the ashes of their ships, great trees, and even of the nearby cliffs. From orbit, the glow of red flame looks like a gaping wound, slowly spreading over the planet's green surface.

ReavingMarazhai supposes that in this location the surviving warriors of the Reaving Tempest could engage their pursuers from the other Kabals that crave their deaths. The xenos is determined to land on the planet and meet with the Drukhari from his Kabal — or unceremoniously barge into the battle, whoever the enemies may be. The xenos demands that the Lord Captain's best warriors set out with him.
