Processional of the Damned

“Have you never wondered where the lost go? Not the dead, but those lost to hope, and lost to all that holds us to these tattered fragments of life? No, I see that you do not think on this. Neither do I, for I have seen that place, and know that to it I must go in time, as will we all.”
–from the last confession of Navigator Conrad Nostromo before his execution by the Ordos Calixis
There are dark places amidst the Halo Stars, cursed
or beyond understanding, where the very
voids reject the hand of man. The unnamed
system that hosts the Processional of the Damned is one such
place; it is a blighted void, a few barren worlds circling a
bright and turbulent star. Closer in to the solar energies is the
Processional: a thin orbiting chain of wreckage, warp-crushed
space hulks, and dead vessels of a hundred different xenos
origins. If the myriad docks of the Segmentum Obscurus each
launched a new vessel at the very same time, that vast fleet
might approach the scope of the Processional. The currents
of the warp have cast these uncounted thousands of sorry
wrecks and ship-ruins here, perhaps for longer than mankind
has travelled the stars---perhaps for longer than mankind
has existed. Ghosts and other warp-echoes orbit with the
Processional, bound to the wreckage and the dust of their
remains.
