Inquisitor: The Trans-Kurani Paradox (Action Thread)
Towering over the the planets of the Trans-Kurani sector, the Dauntless class Cruiser Burning Litany glided along effortlessly through the void of space, a massive cathedral of ceramite and plasteel with sharp arches and minarets that seemed to pierce the very fabric of space itself. Its every deck was a hive of activity as the ship prepared to make one final short range Warp jump to the planet Zephira where it had been assigned to control the space above the planet and cut off whatever reinforcements the vile traitors on the surface were receiving. The vox communication spread through the entirety of the massive ship almost instantly as the fabric in space time began to open.
"Warp shields active", came the decidedly female voice.
"All systems checked. Full power available to Warp drive. Hull integrity at 100%."
"All personnel to your posts. Stand by to initiate Warp jump."
With that, the ship was there and then, quite simply, it wasn't anywhere.
Several light years across the Sector, the Burning Litany emerged from the currents of the Empyrean little worse for the wear. Immediately, its efficient crew went to work conducting purity tests on all psychic members to make sure that they had not inadvertently brought something else with them when they exited the Warp. Meanwhile, several of the Astropaths began to report that any further Warp jumps or communication would be impossible in this part of the sector. The planet Zephira was generating too much interference. The Burning Litany was on its own.
Undaunted, the ship continued to buzz with activity as detachments of Imperial Guard began loading into Drop Pods and Valkyrie Assault and Transport craft that would deliver them to the surface to continue the cleansing.

OOC:
Inquisitor, you will have a bit of time to brief your men on the mission to which they are being assigned or do whatever else needs to be done in terms of character socialisation etc. If you wish, we can skip straight to the action but this is mainly an introductory scene.
Everyone begins in their quarters on board the Burning Litany.
