	Navigational hazards are seldom an entire problem in and of themselves, but they tend to complicate things - usually, getting to your destination, but they could also complicate another random hazard.		Navigational hazards are seldom an entire problem in and of themselves, but they tend to complicate things - usually, getting to your destination, but they could also complicate another random hazard.

	* 01-25: You Can't Get There from Here. Such is the state of the ship that, to put it quite plainly, you cannot chart anything approaching a reasonable route to your destination from your location. It might be literally separated from you by just one bulkhead, or it might be on the other side or end of the ship, but you can't get there from here. If you want to reach your destination, you must chart a circuitous or otherwise non-intuitive route. You'll get there, eventually, barring some non-euclidian geometry (which is not only ~~possibly~~ but entirely probable on this ship,) but it will take you a while. Increase the time to arrive at your destination by 60% over what a reasonable arrival time would be. A Navigation test is called for, with each degree of success reducing the time penalty by 10%. Failures can actually increase your arrival time, as even less-efficient routes are plotted, or the navigator gets lost. But look on the bright side: anyone may treat Navigation as a Basic Skill on the Occurrence Border.		* 01-25: You Can't Get There from Here.

	* 26-50: Unexpected Obstruction. Something unexpected obstructs your route. It may be that a corridor you were planning to use has been vented to space, flushed with hot plasma, or has been filled with wall-to-wall servitors. Extremely intensive maintenence may be taking place, or the ship's Armsmen may be fighting a battle with minor daemons. A hatch may have slammed shut and broken shut. Either way, delay is inevitable, whether you go through, or backtrack and go around. Barring an unusual ability to resolve the obstruction (joining the armsmen in battle, tip-toeing through the repair work, putting on voidsuits and traversing the voided corridor, etc,) a 25% increase in travel time hits you unexpectedly and unavoidably.		* 26-50: Unexpected Obstruction.

	Not entirely dangerous in and of itself, the Fire Pit is where a doorway simply fails to open to where you expect it to open into, and instead opens into a kilometers-long, obsidian-edged pit full of fire. As long as you take a moment to check what's beyond the door before you leap, you can just close the door. The Fire Pit is insidious, though, in that many doors can lead to it at once, and you might find a corridor end with three branching pathways suddenly becomes a dead end because all of the doors lead into the Fire Pit.

	It should go without saying that falling a few kilometers into a warp-fire is lethal, and that's if you're lucky.		It should go without saying that falling a few kilometers into a warp-fire is lethal, and that's if you're lucky. On the other hand, you can also reliably dispose of mundane threats and/or trash and this makes the room a tactical utility in combat. Dodging a charging Krootoid vermin as it fails to stop and falls screaming into the Pit of Doom is very amusing. Not quite so when it is biting your own falling body as well, but no pain no gain right?

	There's a reason most of the crew on the Occurrence Border learn to fear Servitors; for some reason, they are especially vulnerable to being possessed. You'll know this when ~~yousee~~ it from the Daemonic light shining in their eyes and ocular implants, the fact that they're (usually) no longer following orders and have just begun dismantling, destroying, or killing.

	Fortunately, without a full-blown Chaos Heretek to command them, they don't follow any grand plan. Unfortunately, that doesn't stop them from causing a tremendous amount of damage or ending a lot of lives. If a Servitor gets possessed, you need to Handle It, fast. The damage they can cause is tremendous if left unchecked, and is almost comparable to the damage that Twitch will cause when word of a servitor's possession filters up to him and he comes down to terminate it personally and with explosive prejudice.

	As simple as it is ~~unsuble~~, a Daemonhost manifests somewhere on the ship.

	Either way, there is now a Daemonhost on the loose. Its goal is that of all Daemonhosts: destroy, rend, tear, etc. Or maybe it wants to merge with the Cogtain Crater. This is not a problem for a group of lowly acolytes to deal with on their own, this is a problem for the entire ship to shit their collective trousers. This is what it looks like when things go completely ploin-shaped. This is, generally speaking, not a problem you "solve," it's a problem you "survive." Recommended methods include calling for all the backup, the application of liberal quantities of high explosives, optionally with Holy Shrapnel payload if available, abuse of large lift shafts and gravity generator control, spacing the damn thing altogether, venting drive plasma directly at its face, and running like the Daemons of the Warp are after you, because in this case that is literally true. Prayer alone will not help, so save your breath, you'll need it for the running.		Either way, there is now a Daemonhost on the loose.

	If you for whatever reason want to let the dice decide your fate, here are a number of lovely random tables, intended for use with Dark Heresy 1e. You can let the dice entirely decide your fate, by rolling to see how many rolls you make on which tables, or you can pick a table that meets your specific needs and roll a few times. Or just pick something you like the look of. Note that the default assumption is that rolls which are modified out-of-bounds (IE, rolls modified below 1, or above 100,) are discounted, and considered a temporary reprieve from the Emperor/Omnissiah. Exceptions are noted below.		If you for whatever reason want to let the dice decide your fate, here are a number of lovely random tables, intended for use with Dark Heresy 1e.
