WinterscaleThis cold, windy planet is covered by a raging sea of mustard-grey grass so tall it reaches an average human's waist. The monotony of the endless steppe is occasionally broken by chains of murky green lakes, but the augur crew spots a far more interesting anomaly, a scar, running several dozen kilometres deep, splitting the world's equator in two.
WinterscaleAfter two exploration watches, the crew intercepts a faint signal coming from one of the labour settlements in the deep chasm. Due to the unstable connection, the foreman mistakes your vessel for a Winterscale ship — one was due to arrive nine cycles ago. The foreman grimly reports over the weak channel that the adamantine ore deposits on the world are nearly depleted and that the planet will be fully mined out in less than a decade. With some difficulty, he picks up enough words to understand that the ship in orbit belongs to another Rogue Trader house, then awkwardly apologises and falls silent.
YOUAt some point the connection cuts off completely and you leave the foreman and his prospectors to wait for their real master.
