The void between star systems is not so peaceful a place as one might be lead to believe. Particularly not in the Delta Segmentium, where the contortions of The Warp throughout the sector was subtle, enigmatic and malign. It was not prone to violent warp storms, but rather sudden shifts and changes that would astonish and confuse even experienced Navigators, as the light of the Astronomicon is bent, shadowed and twisted to throw ships from their course, or bring them to impossible destinations in no conceivable manner of time. Thus the emergence of a vast space hulk into real space from its cloying reaches is not a rare occurrence, as the bending of time and space contort and wreak havoc upon those pour souls lost in the Immaterium.
This hulk showed no signs of habitation to those Adeptus Mechanicus logicians examining it's emerging signatures, it certainly did not seem to be under any kind of propulsion and had no signs of infestation by orks, or worse nightmares. Thus, when it was identified that a large section belonging to the hulk had once been what was clearly an Imperial vessel of great size and power, twisted into the massive wreckage a priority alert to standing forces was issued by the Adeptus Administratum that the hulk be seized in the name of the Emperor, that it might yield perhaps some lost secrets for the glory of the Imperium of Man.
The random emergence and entering of the Warp by space hulks is well documented throughout the Imperium, and little concern was given to the circumstance of this particular hulk. No thought was given that this hulk might have some purpose, some sinister motive, some intended ill to those servants of mankind who would so brazenly brave it's depths . . .
