Tyvoria,
I regret the lack of proper rest for you and your team following your previous investigation at Balhaut, but this unfortunately cannot wait.
As you well know, the situation facing Segmentum Pacificus is grim. The Astronomicon's reduced output is cutting off entire worlds from communication, and rebellion is currently tormenting Segmentums Pacificus, Obscurus, and Tempestus. Though our faith in the Emperor remains unshaken, we must be cognizant of the issues facing us, and take appropriate measures to ensure the continued victory of humanity in His glorious name.
Three days ago, a heavily damaged Strike Cruiser of the Lions Defiant Astartes limped into orbit around Mars. Their homeworld had been lost in the rebellion, but what was more troubling was the information that they had brought back with them. Techmarine Saul's information is attached to this, but in short, we have massive formations of xenos on the move for a location that I never thought we would have to face again. The xenos are headed to the remains of Colchis, the destroyed homeworld of the traitor Lograr, forever may he be damned, and the Word Bearers.
We've positively identified elements of the Eldar (Craftworlds Saim-Hann and Ulthwe), Necrons, and a tendril of Hive Fleet Leviathan on vectors for Colchis. No greenskins are moving yet, but this may change soon as well. The only positive sign is that we do not see movements from the Archenemy out of the Sabbat Worlds towards Colchis.
Your team, in attendance with an Imperial Navy task force, will investigate this matter and what the accursed xenos are planning with a dead homeworld of a traitor legion. Any and all means necessary to deal with the threat have been released for immediate use, and the Navy has attached the battleship Terra's Thunder to the task force with a fully loadout of prototype ship-to-ship cyclonic torpedoes.
In addition, owing to the gravity of the situation, I petitioned the Deathwatch for a Kill-Team and received something rather more in response. Sergeant Merai of the Salamanders is en route to rendezvous with you in Hydraphur orbit with nine other Deathwatch Space Marines aboard the Astartes Strike Cruiser Endless Vigil. The Officio Assassinorum is also placing Vindicaire Ketera under your command for the duration of this as well. Direct them wisely-we've scoured the best we can at a moment's notice, but as always, your intelligence, ardor, faith, and resilience will be tested in His service. For more than a century, you have served Him on Earth and the Imperium well. I call upon you now, Tyvoria, to triumph once more.
Good luck. The Emperor Protects.
