Changes

Draik has pushed forward the [[Imperium]]'s boundaries in the [[Segmentum Pacificus]] for decades.{{Fn|1}} Exploring the [[Wilderness Space|unchartered regions]] outside Imperial Space, he searches for rare commodities to sell to Humanity's ruling elite.{{Fn|2c}} His preferred method of acquiring new worlds involves appealing to the interests of their greedy and self-important rulers by plying them with exotic riches and aged [[amasec]] aboard his opulent shuttle,{{Fn|1}} '''''[[Vanguard (shuttle)|Vanguard]]'''''.{{Fn|2a}}

Spurred on by the rumours of a [[Seventh Blackstone Fortress|new Blackstone Fortress]] appearing in the borders of the [[Galaxy]] in the aftermath of the [[Great Rift]], Janus Draik procured copies of the ''Liber Monumenta'' and [[Ravensburg|Ravensburg's]] ''Treatise on the Gothic War'', amongst other less reputable works. Intrigued by his findings, he set course for the Western Reaches of Segmentum Pacificus.{{Fn|2d}}{{Fn|2c}} There, he learned of the location of the Blackstone Fortress through parlance with various scavenger factions,{{Fn|2a}} resting at the heart of a nebula with no known warp routes or [[webway]] spars,{{Fn|2c}} littered for millions of miles in each direction by the debris of ancient warships and fragmented battle stations.

Continuing his exploration of the Fortress, Draik and his entourage next dealt with the rampaging weapon [[Isha's Lament]] after it was loosed into the ''Precipice''.{{Fn|6a}} Draik and his allies were successful in deactivating the weapon.{{Fn|6b}}
