Editing Thomas Gaudin (section)

===The Coming of The Emperor===
Though the war was over, Gaudin didn’t rest on his laurels. His drive couldn;t let him stop, even for a second. Now that the planet was united, it was time to make the planet more hospitable and to expand the Dome Settlements for the next generation. He already had plans to conquer the other worlds that old stories told bordered Sturmundrang, and hoped to find out the lost secrets of spaceflight in order to further this. A few times he spoke of creating a vast empire in the stars like the ones the most ancient legends had spoken of. Gaudin threw himself into this new effort with the same energy he has shown while conquering the planet. But as Gaudin was laying plans to try and terraform the atmosphere so that it would no longer be as inimical to human life and prepare to spread warfare beyond the confines of Sturmundrang, ships began to enter the system.

The Fleet of Rogue Trader Claude Louis Rigau, a Pathfinder to the Vth Legion stumbled across Sturmundrang, and despite the planet’s lack of resources the detection of comm-chatter coming from the planet convinced him that there was human life there. He broadcast to the planet, announcing his arrival and the coming of the Imperium. What greeted him was a booming voice asking him who he was and what right he had to be making demands. After some back and forth, Rigau agreed to come down to the planet alone but for a few chosen aides to meet with the Planetary leader.

Rigau wrote of the dominating presence of Gaudin, how his massive size and loud voice had him nearly pinned down. Rigau knew almost instantly that this was a Primarch, one of the Emperor’s lost sons. Gaudin was curious about this human empire and the Emperor who claimed to lead it. He declared that he would only join the Imperium if this Emperor of theirs came to him personally. Rigau agreed, and sent his message to Legion Master Antoine Antonelle: A Primarch has been found.
