My Lady,
I trust this message finds you well. I am taken to understand that you hold a certain interest in Eldar activity near the Maelstrom. With that in mind, I offer a transcript of the final bridge recordings of the Dauntless Light Cruiser, Champion. It was performing reconnaissance in the further reaches of the Pariah Sector. I believe you may find it interesting.
Survey: Captain, there is an anomaly forming on the far side of the Alpha Agony (edit: Traitor Styx Class Cruiser – associated with the Word Bearer Legion).
Command: Define “anomaly”, Lieutenant.
Survey: It’s… It’s five more traitor ships. Umm… They’re dropping out of the Warp like nothing I’ve ever seen. Energy signatures indicate two capital ships and three escorts.
Command: Helm, prepare to retreat. We’ve been lucky to avoid detection but with that many more ships it’s likely they’ll catch us. Be prepared to bring engines to full power at my command.

Command: Magos?
AM: Sir, I have not formulated an explanation.

Survey: Sir, they’re approaching fast. Sir! They ships are powering up their weapons.
Command: Raise shields
Tactical: Yes, sir!
Survey: They’re not Imperial, Sir. Sir! They’re fi……..
…end of transcript…
Now what’s so interesting, you may ask? The Champion was destroyed two days Warp travel from your current location. If my crew and I can be of any assistance, feel free to ask. Good hunting.
May the Emperor bless you, Sister.
Your servant,
Captain Trott
