Cherris Draik
Cherris Draik was an Imperial Rogue Trader who discovered Jedathra, the Homeworld of the Traitor Knight House Herpetrax, in late M36.[1]
This occurred when the Rogue Trader was scouting an area of space, that until recently had been covered by a Warp Storm and word of her discovery soon reached the Imperium. Envoys were sent to invite Jedathra into the Imperium, but House Herpetrax refused their words and slaughtered them. The House then exclaimed that they rejected the Emperor and stated that Mankind will bow to them or be destroyed. This led Herpetrax to be declared a Traitor Knight House and the Astra Militarum and Imperial Navy launched an invasion against Jedathra. The Rogue Trader would take part in the campaign against Herpetrax, but it ended in disaster. Widespread mutation broke out amongst the regiments invading Jedathra and the Imperial forces were suddenly warned that a Warp Storm would soon fall upon the world once more. Draik managed to withdrew from the war zone, but messaged the Imperium that she had discovered evidence that Herpetrax had been conducting Chaos rituals on Jedathra for millennia.[1]
