++++++++ incoming scrambled transmission +++++++++++
Imperial record speaks of a Rogue Trader and his small fleet operating outside Imperial Space, in the Northern Galactic
fringes, reporting a find of immense potential. Initial reports of pre-Imperial technology and possible Standard Template
Technology led to the establishment of a large, permanent excavation and the launch of an Adeptus Mechanicus Tech Guard expedition.
Recent transmissions were received by the astropaths aboard a Dark Angel Strike Cruiser returning from campaign
in the same area. Prior to relay transmission toward Imperial Space, the content was examined by the Master of the Fleet,
as dictated by protocol. The messages were garbled and incomplete, presumably because of the distance and potential Warp activity,
but they describe bitter conflict and speak of technology gone mad. Metal monsters and bloody battles. The natrual assumption
was that the Adeptus Mechanicus and the Rogue Trader both staked claim to the discoveries, and the conflict escalated from
that point. However, the mention, however incomplete of the Powered Armored Angels in Black fighting in the conflict
could not be ignored.
The transmission was not relayed, and the Strike Cruiser altered course immediately to investigate.
