Editing Quest:The Long Night:Volume One:Life in the Storm (section)

=Exploring space=

Technically, space is explored already. But there is one very major detail. A detail that was somehow missed during the initial system survey.

The third planet of the Helheim system, Cocceio, is orbited by a ship graveyard. According to Muspelheim's records, a massive Iron War battle had occurred here. Now, you finally find the time to set a proper survey station.

Over forty thousand wrecks. One tenth of them capital ships. Sizes ranging from eight hundred meters to thirty times that. Thousands in easily repairable condition. And every bit of it is holy Dark Age tech. Tranth and his fellows are drooling oil already.

Tranth starts with the lighter classes. Aside from the ships themselves, there are boatloads of guns onboard. [[Grav-Weaponry]], stable [[Plasma Weapons]] (with a flamer analogue that kills any user without that Centurion-level suit), Meltas, some analogue of the Eldar Haywires... And, as a final note, [[Conversion Beamer]]s and [[Warp_Weapons#Vortex_Grenade|Vortex Grenades]. No blueprints though. That's from two types of escorts, a total of fifteen thousand ships.

Champion Surt, meanwhile, sends you a bit of data. It seems that the Command Battleships of the Dark Age tended to have databases of blueprints onboard. Those are the ships twelve and above kilometres in size. The graveyard has six of them.
