Lord Commander,

The Rogue Trader vessel "The Azubah" passed our station at 03:00 today and should arrive at the Borielle Docks in orbit around Borielle IV tomorrow at 17:00. Communications with the bridge of the Azubah indicated that only minor refuelling and resupplying is needed and the length of the visit should not exceed two weeks. This should place no great strain on the resources of the Borielle Docks and will not hamper the construction and refitting projects currently underway in support of the war effort in the Aleph-subsector. We have no information pertaining to who is currently in command of the Azubah. However, it does still bear the heraldry of the famed Lucius van Horne who discovered the Nietorp system.

Your faithful servant,

Terrell Frouin
2nd Lt of his imperial majesty’s navy, commanding

Lord Commander,

Our Augurs show anomalous power readings from Hortensius Prime. Multiple power spikes have been detected in the previous 24 hours. No previous readings of such magnitude can be found in the station databanks. Our Adept Exquiro insists these readings are only comparable with starship engines. He has been given three days penitential servitude in the sewage ducts for his foolishness. No ships have visited this system since 942M40. It could not possibly be a locally produced vessel as Hortensius prime is a dead world and no life forms have ever been found in this system.

Your faithful servant,

Torben Bax
