Dark Heresy Game Log 22_5_2011: Subdual of the Sigard System

At the request of the Carcharadons, Captain Mac and Holt as the carrier of Inquisitorial Seal, investigate the Sigard System. Their cause was to establish if there were areas of sympathy or resistance to the Imperium, what military resistance would be encountered, what forces might be brought to bear against the Carcharadons if they attempted to subdue the system and return it to Imperial control.

They performed a distant survey of the system and announced themselves using standard Rogue Trader protocols. They observed 3 asteroid citadels and 3 major belt colonies and half a dozen ship colonies. Two system ships , heavily armed and in astral claws livery responded and ordered them to heave to. The "Cunning Plan" was actively scanned with intrusive sensorium beams. They were then escorted to the nearest asteroid citadel.

Various automated defence platforms were observed guarding the port. Negotiations with the port authorities and local traders revealed the Astral Claws subsuming local planetary defence and naval forces into their structure, including auxiliary troops with integrated space marine troops.

The trader's guild hall was supplied with a noticeably musky air.
