Astropathic Station VX-02-537 was located on the outskirts of the Rykad System in the Koronus Expanse. The station was a source of ghostly howl that only Astropaths could hear. It was visited by the Astropath Zacchary Weisz of the House Winterscale Rogue Trader, as the Astropathic Choir onboard his vessel was driven mad by the scream.[1]
"A warp disturbance of monstrous proportions wiped out half of the Choir at once, turning the Astropaths into living portals through which torrents of the Immaterium's energies poured out. Those who lasted longer bellowed and howled about a black rift that had split the universe into Before and After, and a darkness that would devour the Astronomican's light."
- —Chronicle of a scribe onboard the station
The source of the shriek was a lone, green-robed, blind Choirmaster, standing in a room encased in psychic ice, himself frozen as well. His fate, and the fate of the suspended Astropaths, depended on the decisions of the Rogue Trader.
