Investigating what appeared to be a perversion of the Imperial Creed, Inquisitor Chaegryn led a team of [[Tempestus Scions]] to Ghosar Quintus and ventured into the depths of the Great Pit. The deeper Chaegryn ventured, the more evidence of deviance he found. Strangely, his last communique stated that all was well, and that the Trysst Dynasty should be left to its own devices. It was a full year before Chaegryn’s fellows noticed that something was deeply wrong. A five-man [[Kill Team]] of [[Deathwatch]] Space Marines{{Fn|2}} ([[Kill Team Excis]]){{Fn|3}} was sent on a follow-up mission of lethal investigation, yet they too were swallowed by the mysteries of the Great Pit{{Fn|2}} and hadn't survived the initial ambush.{{Fn|3}} Only when [[Chaplain]] [[Cassius]] mustered [[Kill Team Cassius|his own hand-picked Kill Team]] was the vile truth unearthed – Ghosar Quintus was home to a xenos infestation.{{Fn|2}}
Kill Team Cassius fought through hundreds of [[Genestealer Cultists]] as they plumbed the depths of the Trysst Dynasty’s corrupted world. Though they made it out aliveand Cassius himself killed the [[Genestealer Patriarch]], the Space Marines were changed forever by the gruesome ordeal. Most shocking of all was not the [[Genestealer Patriarch]] that lurked at the heart of the cult, but the damning evidence in the mining cult’s shipping holographs. Under the guise of industry, the xenos-tainted Trysst Dynasty had spread its curse across not only the Ghosar System, but throughout the sector. The implications were staggering.{{Fn|2}}
