MajorisThe landing party reports via vox as soon as they touch down. The colossal voidship before them is covered with spikes. It resembles a morbid beast sculpted from darkness itself, menacingly hanging over the ravine. An experienced veteran accurately determines the origin of the unholy vessel — it belongs to the xenos race called Drukhari. Ready to collapse at any moment, the voidship emits a long woeful creak as if promising to drag along into the abyss below anyone who dares to disturb its slumber.
YOUAbelard suggests finding out what xenos were doing in the Rykad System. Taking heed of the Seneschal's recommendations, the Rogue Trader orders to send more people to the planet.
MajorisAfter two watches of hard labour, the workers managed to stabilise the Drukhari voidship. The soldiers who entered the vessel were met with lifeless bodies of xenos who had died when the voidship crashed. The voidship itself, following its abominable nature, came to life, immediately craving to sate its wicked appetite for human death. The vessel's systems have reacted to the intruders, and senselessly cruel, deadly traps have been activated on all decks.
YOUAnxious, Idira tells the Lord Captain that voices in her head are screaming, repeating words "harbinger," "darkness," and "death." Not wanting to tempt destiny, the Rogue Trader decides to recall people from the vessel.
MajorisAfter receiving the order to withdraw, the landing party was relieved to leave the planet. The menacing Drukhari voidship stayed behind among the towering rocks of Rykad Majoris.

YOUArgenta eagerly says that the only good xenos is a dead one. A true servant of the Emperor shouldn't soil their hands with xenos technology.
MajorisWhen the landing party's shuttle exits the atmosphere of Rykad Majoris, the Rogue Trader's flagship fires a salvo at the ravine and the voidship perched atop it. Rocks engulfed in the scarlet blazes of the explosion look like a bloodstain sprawling out on the grey, lifeless face of the planet. The holy flame blessed by the Emperor Himself has melted away the abominable voidship once and for all.

YOUThe Rogue Trader orders that more people be sent to the xenos voidship to collect any valuable findings.
MajorisMonstrous contraptions designed to mince, rip apart, and incinerate their victims took the soldiers by surprise but were neutralised before the squad suffered significant losses. The soldiers found several curious pieces of xenotech on the sinister voidship but no data that could shed some light on why it came to the Rykad System.

MajorisThe landing party approaches the vessel and reports via vox that none of the soldiers have seen anything like this before. The colossal voidship is covered with spikes. It resembles a morbid beast sculpted from darkness itself, menacingly hanging over the ravine. Ready to collapse at any moment, the voidship emits a long woeful creak as if promising to drag along into the abyss below anyone who dares to disturb its slumber.
YOUHeinrix has a suspicion regarding the previous owners of the vessel, so he asks to speak with the scouts.
MajorisBased on the more detailed descriptions from the scouting party, Heinrix accurately identifies the nature of the unholy vessel. There's no doubt that it belongs to the xenos race called the Drukhari.

YOUPasqal is willing to go through the telemetry data more thoroughly and perform additional research to remotely determine the machine's nature.
MajorisAfter long hours of binharic prayers to the Machine God and studying numerical data, Pasqal concludes his research. The unholy machine that crash-landed on Rykad Majoris was created by the heretical xenos, the Drukhari.

YOUJust one glance at the unholy vessel is enough to see that it wasn't created by humans. The Rogue Trader praises the Emperor and orders to destroy the voidship from orbit.

YOUIt doesn't matter who this voidship belonged to before — the Rogue Trader orders that more people be sent to the vessel and collect anything valuable they can find.
MajorisAfter two watches of hard labour, the workers managed to stabilise the mysterious voidship. The soldiers who entered the vessel were met with the lifeless slender bodies of unidentified xenos. The vessel's systems have reacted to the intruders, and senselessly cruel, deadly traps have been activated on all decks.

MajorisThe soldiers weren't prepared to face the countless xenos traps. Monstrous contraptions had minced, ripped apart, and incinerated many victims before the voidship's systems were neutralised.

MajorisAugurs notice a large object among the lifeless rocks covering the planet. A voidship, whose signature and origin are impossible to identify from orbit, is resting on the edge of a deep ravine. The hull of the unidentified vessel is severely damaged, rocks around it shattered by the force of the gigantic machine's crash-landing. The augurs haven't detected any vital signs aboard or near the vessel.
YOUSend a squad to the planet to explore the voidship.
YOUDestroy the wrecked voidship with a precise shot.
MajorisA salvo of the flagship's cannons has torn up the rocky surface of the planet, pulverising the cliffs along with the crash-landed vessel. The ravine under the ledge upon which the wrecked voidship was perched has turned into a crater littered with debris. The Rogue Trader's crew has salvaged a couple of metal plates that could be used for flagship repairs.
