Logistical

Warp Storm—It is not possible for Warp Travel to enter or leave Asterion's system at this moment. It is likely that a Chaos naval force will attack, due to this vulnerability. To bolster naval forces, including aeronautica, the Theta-9 Techpriests have been dispatched to the Judgment of Eminence to resurrect its machine spirits with all haste.

Exterminatus—It is possible that Inquisitor Vyne will, upon hearing reports of Asterion's circumstance, order an Exterminatus; it is possible, however, that this will unleash the Sixth Wing Daemon powering the Worldmind, creating more problems than it solves. This information has been conveyed to Interrogator Saends and passed to the Inquisitor.

Unrest—Asterion's citizens are rioting, due to fear and possibly treachery. The Asterion Enforcement Bureau is currently attempting quell the violence and prevent agents of the Archenemy from moving through the hives. Rallying the laity through hope and zeal may be possible, but only once communications have been restored.

First Landing—Understanding the importance of the seal, the Inquisition has secured First Landing against any who approach.

Food—Supply lines have broken down. It might be possible to begin high scale production of Thrunk and corpse starch to ease this difficulty. It should also be determined whether the Ward Berries ever reached the Asterion system.
