==Trickery of the Warp (710-732M38)==
According to the recovered transmission data, in the years of 710-732M38, and Imperium records would confirm this (if they hadn't been stricken), large hosts of civilian transports, engineers, tech-priests, Space Marines and other military personnel had begun disappearing without a trace. The only thing they had in common was that they were returning to Luna. It was all attributed to warp trickery at first, though the number of missing ships far exceeded the expected value in that time period. In fact, all of these ships, and their passengers, suddenly found themselves mysteriously encased inside a giant mountain of ice. The total ship count exceeded at least 40, with the number of passengers numbering in the hundreds of thousands, mostly consisting of civilians and workers. The ships did not disappear at the same time either, and when someone new arrived, they would often find themselves atop the dead and frozen remains of those whom had come before them. It wasn't until Space Marines began disappearing individually from ships during warp travel that anyone really cared though.

Due to the strong, shifting magnetic field surrounding the planet Cystral, all attempts at off-planet communication was deemed impossible, and with most ship systems shutting down upon arrival, both conventional and warp engines utterly ruined, there was little else to do but dig and hope for a way out. Life in the mountain of ice was harsh and unforgiving, which is to say, it was a normal, though slightly cold experience, for any man, woman and child working for the Imperium. After about a decade of digging and mapping out the numerous frozen tunnels, and several thousand lost to starvation and hypothermia, the de facto society of survivors managed to breach the outer walls of the mountain. What greeted them was a field of snow, a frozen tundra with howling winds, and flickering, almost incorporeal mists wandering them.
