The ship gracefully entered the warp, and traveled through the immaterium, going just a couple of days before warping out.  Life aboard the ship was peaceful, though the techpriests seemed to be yelling "FOR THE OMNISSIAH!" a lot.  For that matter, they didn't seem to be saying liturgies to the machine spirits either, just silently doing their repair work while yelling "FOR THE OMNISSIAH!  THE STEEL TRUMPS THE FLESH!  HAIL THE GOD-EMPEROR OF MANKIND WHO IS AN ASPECT OF THE BLESSED OMINISSIAH!" or some variation thereof as loud as their voxes would allow whenever someone walked nearby.<br/><br/>The<em>Reliquary of Alexander</em>emerged from the warp in the middle of a rainbow colored nebula, amidst vast clouds of stellar debris.  In the din of sensor static, detection range was limited to about 250,000 kilometers, making scouting operations complicated.  Fortunately, that made running away really easy.<br/><br/>The entire system was swarmed with micrometeors and protoplanets, barely even stable.  Maneuvering was tricky, and pirate nests could be anywhere.<br/><br/>(Scanning a quadrant is an extended action which takes one week, and combines Navigation (Stellar), Scrutiny, Tech-Use, Trade (Astographer) and Trade (Voidfarer); One check at +20 per character, plus three checks for the NPC crew.  (at a rating of 50)  Results of a scan are dependent on degrees of success.  Naturally, scouting is also an excellent way to lure in pirates.)
