The Korban Expanse was a desolate region of the galaxy, a vast arm of the Neomosa Spiral. Once but long ago, fledgling empires rose and fell here amongst the harsh stars. Across scattered worlds their decayed ruins stand in sentinel memory of their passing.
It was here that the Rogue Trader Captain Tyco Samra gained great prestige by traversing the uncharted Pillars of Voltarnus. Contrary to the strongest recommendations of house navigators and logicans, his relic Conquest-class Star Galleon - The Alastor survived the perilous expedition fraught with piratical raiders, hostile xenos and dark unknown horrors of the void.
The bombastic Samra was known for leading many away missions and boarding actions himself, accompanied by his personal security entourage; the
Iyomen. This handpicked cadre consisted of veteran voidsmen, house storm troopers and specialist adepts.
After the decades across the expanse, there could be no "after Korban" for the crew of The
Alastor. Not after the wonders and terrors they had experienced. The return to Port Solas had been brief. Despite his holds brimming with priceless artifacts, wealth and archeotech from
the furthest reaches of the void, it was not enough for Samra. The ancient
Alastor departed again into beckoning stars.
"You can't imagine the things I've seen - the storming of the Gammu temple, the sky fortress of the Tekarti, the hunt for the Corlatt void beast. All I can tell you is that without Captain Tyco at the helm, my bones would be out there adrift in the deep..."
-Sulla, Iyomen hearldry bearer to new ensigns.
