The heavy task force that joins the the 10th host next is recent converts from the Gothic sector. The task force is under the command of rear admiral Xavier Von Graves, a man few would see as a traitor ever, but the faiths wanted it different in his 200 year of Imperial service he re married out of love to a younger bride, Madam Noella Von Graves, little did he know that she was a cultist in the brethren of the word in the Gothic sector and over the next 100 years after turning her husband to the idea of eternal youth together and the path there true the word and the true gods. They slowly turned the rest of the task force both from the command decks where Von Graves made sure that only those of the word got position, and from cults started on the lower decks, recruited from the rank and file and the prisoner scum that make up the crew of Imperial ships. So that at the start of the current Black crusade started the task force had fallen years before, but the time was still not right and they kept up the mask of loyalty for the first few years. Von Graves was surprised that when the gods spoke to his loyal cadre of seers and Deacons it was not in the Gothic sector that there faith awaited but in the Calixis sector in service to the 10 th host under the Apostle Castor. The Von Graves gathered the faithful and left the home docks in a blaze of fire, shooting broadside after broadside into the other ships helpless at dock wile they proclaimed the coming of the true gods and the word of blessed Lorgnar.
