Chaos warband known as Red Giants managed to activate ancient weather control mechanisms so that they would lay waste to Agri-World of Prothera, bringing it into a new ice age. Fall of primary source of food in the Subsector created food riots in a dozen worlds. Chapter sent out a whole Third Company to crush the rebellion on Hive World of Inaria, they should report back in half a year. Chapter stopped one of the mega-hurricanes on Prothera's surface by detonating a tectonic weapon in high orbit, but it cleared Protheran weather only for a short time. However our scouts found some traces that indicate that Red Giants infiltrated civilian population that is being evacuated from the planet by Imperial Guard. On the side note Chapter received a gift of 10 Tactical Dreadnought Armour suits from Terra for their performance during defence of Mormark. Chapter Master is currently in Protheran Orbit.

We should make haste to Oskea, it's the nearest Agri-world and we need food for Mormark.

Varda is of absolutely zero Imperial concern, only the Ghosts of Retribution manage it and benefit from it.

Three weeks later Nerial approaches you again and reports:
>Lord, I have good news this time. Captain Arcon has reached Inaria already, warp was calm for them. They have landed and are pushing rebels hard, they estimate a victory within 4 months unless something changes. Also, there is a message from Lord Admiral Tyrel Hagen, he says that once he got a report about those raiders approaching Varda, he dispatched two cruisers to intercept them. Battle was a total victory, pirates were beaten and their ships were forced to make a warp jump towards Tyranus Subsector. He also wishes good luck to you and sends his gratitude for sending Third Company to Inaria.

>>22074637
Warp is relatively calm and Synius, you Master Navigator guides you through the Immaterium easily. When you at last arrive to Oskean system, you scanners notice three ships in the orbit of a huge green-blue world. One of them seems to be a vessel of the Imperial Navy, another seems to be a trade barge and a third one is heavily customised. It could belong to anyone from Rogue Traders to non-Imperial humans.

You remember that "Skyline" belongs to Dercius D'anger, a crazy Rogue Trader with whom you are on relatively good terms.

Bonus info for critical:
"Plenty" on the other hands is a mystery to you, but Duke Glemont, your mortal servant Treasurer comes to you at once when he sees the ships profile.
>Milord, this ship belongs to Astrobelus Kest, Arch-Cardinal of Sector Deus. It flies under the banner of Trade Guilds, but it his personal money making machine, I know about it since my days back in Tachion Primaris. I know that our Chapter is on bad terms with him and Ecclesiarchy in general. If you...
He seems hesitant for a moment.
>...I know that our Chapter is not really orthodox. All I am saying is that if you want to hurt Astrobelus Kest and gain some profit while doing it, it's a good chance. However I would never wish ill will upon Ministorium or it's representatives, oh no I wouldn't.

You say your world has a food problem? Heh, I think I could help them out and take care of transporting food for them with my ships for 10 wealth per year. Oh, an laddie, listen.

Letter to Lord Governer Larion Ursus:

Lord Governer Ursus,

May I first extend my sincerest apologies at being unable to attend the wedding of your daughter, there was a dire situation on the planet of Mormark that required my utmost attention, followed closely by the Protheran disaster. I hope the wedding was a successful affair.

I am also writing to request that trade routed between Mormark and the rest of the Sector are reopened, using the newly completed Space Station above Mormark as a way to bypass the quarantine issue.

Ships from Mormark will take minerals to the Space Station and return to the planet with food supplies, and ships from other planets will drop food supplies at the Space Station, and pick up the minerals from Mormark.

Should the trade routes be reopened, you will be able to continue receiving the tithe of minerals from Mormark, and the Imperial citizens of Mormark will attain the supplies they desperately need.

Thank you for your time.

Praise the Emperor,
Chapter Master [REDACTED] of the Ghosts of Retribution.

>>22075746
How much food is he capable of bringing for that 10 wealth? Will it be enough to sustain the population of Mormark?

As your lander reaches the surface of one of the numerous pyramid-like habtowers standing in the middle of endless marshlands, you are greeted by delegation of locals. They are all half naked because of extremely warm local climate and their bodies are decorated in various body paint and plumes of local xeno-birds. They seem quite primitive in their outlook, but you notice that their bodyguards are armed with lasguns and their skull-trophies are nothing more than decorated frag grenades. Their leader comes forward and speaks to you:
>Oy hey, Star Hunter. We have harvested numerous tumors during this lunar cycle. Will the Eternal Swamp God demand these to be to our brothers in other star villages? Or have you come to this village for other matters than trade? Either way, I am Gorgul Xayva, trader and wealth-holder, currently holding the title of Star Speaker by the will of our people's Council. Welcome to Oskea.

Chapter Master,

Despite our better judgement, We have decided to give thought to your outrageous request. We were greatly displeased with you conduct of Protheran affair and attracting unwanted attention from most Holy Terra with your entanglements with those Dark Mechanicus cultists that cost me domain of Mormark. But past is past and we must look to the future. Please come by the beginning of next year(in a month) to my palace on Tachion Primaris, where we will discuss our further relationship, which was so far fruitless. There we might touch the Mormarkian subject too.
