Entry point 1
NPCA puzzled augur operator reports that an expeditionary shuttle belonging to the von Valancius dynasty was detected on the planet's surface. Furthermore, according to its markings, it is assigned to your vessel. The operator also states that the entrance to a system of tunnels was spotted next to the shuttle.
YOURequest a full report on the shuttle.
NPCIn the registry the expeditionary shuttle number 712 has been designated as "irretrievably lost" for many years. Information about the circumstances of its disappearance is suspiciously sparse, as if someone deliberately erased it. From the crumbs of information that remain, you gather that it was sent to explore some object on an unknown world on the order of Lord Captain Theodora and never returned.

YOUExplore the tunnels.
NPCAfter disembarking, you notice that the shuttle is buried halfway in sand, and the von Valancius coat of arms is practically erased from its side. This shuttle has clearly been here for a very long time. Next to the shuttle you find crates of archaeological equipment, on which one can just barely make out the emblem of the Explorators. Most of these crates are lying next to massive black doors of xenos origin — the entrance to the tunnels.
NPCThe descent into the depths takes several hours. You make your way through cramped corridors giving way to huge black halls, where a dim emerald glow from no discernible source brings forth the silhouettes of equipment abandoned by the Tech-Priests. The suffocating, oppressive silence that accompanies you during the descent is broken only by the echo of your footsteps — deafening and yet so insignificant against the background of the cyclopean arches.
YOUIgnore the shuttle and tunnels and move on.
