Dutiful
The Dutiful was a Heraldus class medicae transport that operated on the Imperial world of Ghyre.[1b]
Following the formation of the Great Rift, Ghyre suffered from civil unrest, compounded by the planet being cut off from the wider Imperium as a result of Warp turbulence brought about by the Warp Storm. Once the Warp disturbance had subsided enough for contact to be reestablished, Governor Osmyndri Ellisentris Kallistus ordered that Ghyre's astropaths should send a message for aid in quelling the insurgency that the locals had failed to put down.[1a] The Dutiful was called on to transport medicae to the astropathic sanctum atop Hive Angelicus to provide assistance should the astropaths require it. However, the shuttle had been hijacked and the personnel on board replaced by a unit of armed cultists of the Wrything Wyrm led by Magus Phoenicia Jai, who used the Dutiful as cover to storm the sanctum and prevent the call for aid going out.[1b]
