→Plot
Prior to the ''Almagest'''s entombment in ''Misery's Daughter'', Magos Lucanus would eventually come into the possession of an [[Eldar]] artifact, a blood-red crystal-fragment and had it stored within a [[stasis field]]. It allowed for the spontaneous creation of life in a variety of forms.{{Fn|1c}}
Lucanus was trapped in the space hulk with the Genesis device for two centuries{{Fn|1d}} and used this artifact's power to bring to life grass and ferrus trees within the command deck of the ''Almagast''. Lucanus would create his own personal verdant paradise within this portion of the ship and ruled over the [[abhuman]] remnants descended from the ship's crew as a god. Having enmeshed himself with the ship's systems, he gave orders to the [[mutants]] through the ship's [[bihnaricbinharic]] vox-emitters.{{Fn|1c}}
Eventually, Explorator [[Talin Sherax]] would track down the trapped vessel in the hope of finding clues to track down the mythical source of Lucanus' world-seeding technology theory. After having crossed half a [[subsector]], she and her companions would kill the former scholar and steal away the crystal-fragment in the hopes of finding its origin.{{Fn|1c}}
