Prior to this point, there had been twenty such spy ships that had been dispatched though where none had returned or had sent back anything back that was useful. At this time, the prophetic visions of a [[Psyker]] imprisoned on [[Mars]] attracted the attention of [[Magos]] Technicus [[Ipsissmus]] who decided on constructing to construct a new class of nullship that had ten times the screening of the older model, would be was larger and better armed, had the capacity to carry more fighting men and would have had the ability to travel the entirety of the Eye of Terror without being detected. He arranged a meeting with the [[Inquisitorial Representative]] about launching an expedition into the Eye to ascertain the details of the Psykers Psyker's prophecy with the .
