==Infiltration==
Ruled by the [[Trysst Dynasty]] for several centuries, in 680.[[M41]] a major [[Genestealer Cult]] of the [[Four-Armed Emperor]] infestation was discovered by [[Inquisitor]] [[Chaegryn]] upon the world. It was discovered that the Trysst Dynasty had come under the control of a [[Genestealer Patriarch]] (this [[Genestealer]] got to the planet cowered in a piece of a fragment that broke away from the [[Curse of Unreason]] [[Space Hulk]] that fell on the planet), and the family was purged by a [[Deathwatch]] [[Kill-Team]] led by [[Ortan Cassius]] in the first major [[Imperial]] encounter with [[Genestealer]]s.{{Fn|1}}
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}}
