Navigators unable to plot accurate courses along the Acheros Salient. The nids have such a massive warp presence that it causes the shadow in the warp, and therefore should be super susceptible to the corruption of chaos and should feed the dark gods massively, yes? According to his own blasphemous lore, Kokabiel’s Drop is more than a convoluted region of the Immaterium. Watch Commander Mordigiel has yet to authorise such a mission. that are all connected in the 40k universe. Deprived of their Warp sight and rendered useless in the eyes of the Navis Nobilite, Kokabiel turns these unfortunates free. As of 817.M41 all but three members of House Grigoris are accounted for: A self proclaimed prophet, Kokabiel Grigoris presides over a mystery cult of degenerate Navigators and decadent voidsmen known as the Cyclopean Congregation.
Most of these are ignorant of the true nature of the Congregation with many largely being void born fanatics that have lost their humanity to madness and mutation long before swearing their loyalty to Kokabiel.

The Congregation's oracles and hierophants, these prodigal scions of the Navis Nobilite, are the unquestioned masters of the cult. The ship identified itself as the Limitless Grasp, a free trader under the command of Chartist Captain Olympia Thyatira, followed immediately by a formal request to enter orbit around Verronus, a planet conspicuously absent from charts of the Jericho Reach. The Deathwatch's records state that the vortex was the result of some great and bloody design of the mortal worshipers of Chaos come to fruition on one of the lost worlds it now has swallowed: a ritual unleashing the abyss of the Warp into reality.
Day-to-day accounts of shipboard life give way to imagined conversations between the Rogue Trader and the red hole bearing his name. Whether Kokabiel holds his tongue out of some remaining vestige of honour or plans to use his knowledge as a bargaining chip in the future remains to be seen. Their minds lost to the bemoaning cry of Dien Xquin, these psykers spend the remainder of their lives sequestered in hidden compounds of the Inquisition, their incarceration broken only by periods of intense questioning. jumps emerge from the Immaterium months after they departed or days It was not without vigorous debate, culminating with a series of nearly devastating civil wars. The Nobilite's only salvation, Kokabiel preaches, comes in the form of the Hadex Anomaly, a new and vital light in the Warp.
The fallen Navigator leads his Cyclopean Congregation on blasphemous pilgrimages along this route, each journey a profane recreation of the Burden of Vigilance's first passage through the Anomaly.
Commodore Tenermaritus perished in the ensuing battle, atomised during a valiant boarding action against the Haruspex Lifeseeker. Worse the outer edges of the Hadex Anomaly are surrounded by a shell of There is a ring of voidships surrounding the Anomaly, ghost vessels that have become locked within a tide of chronal disturbances -- frozen forever within a flow of time. According to its leader, only those possessing a Warp Eye can truly appreciate the Hadex Anomaly in its true form. The Congregation has amassed the largest fleet of warp capable ships outside of the Crusade, dubbed the Congregational Fleet, this flotilla of ramshackle craft has been gathered from the lost ships trapped in the periphery of the Anomaly over the past millennium.
Though clearly a Warp/realspace interface or Warp rift like most other similar events, the Hadex Anomaly exerts an exotic effect not just upon the physical realm but on the temporal as well.
By special order of Lord Militant Tetrarchus, all commanders of the Acheros Salient Navy are prohibited from acquiescing to Kokabiel's demands. Of the remaining vessels, only three are accounted for, arriving at Khazant over a decade later after limping through the Warp without Navigators.
Worlds bathed in the crimson glow of the Anomaly become saturated with its corrupting essence, while stars languish under its stygian radiance.
