"...Anyone in range, please help! This is Penitent Wanderer under attack in the Teramus system...Emperor's teeth they're coming aboard...Even if you can't get here in time just make sure these bastards pay, get them, I-"

The Penitent Wanderer was a Pilgrim-class Transport Ship.[1]

Whilst on a routine transport run from Dhumres to Vertus Magna, the Penitent Wanderer translated into realspace in the Teramus System to allow the ship's Navigator to check their bearings. As they did so, they came under attack by the pirates of Arlon Buke, who destroyed the Penitent Wanderer's engines with their ships' lances and plundered the vessel.[1]

Around a month later, the Penitent Wanderer's distress call was logged by Watch Station Elkin of the Deathwatch. Although the destruction of the Penitent Wanderer itself was not deemed especially high priority, the fact that the pirates had access to working Eldar lances was judged concerning enough for the Deathwatch of Watch Fortress Zarabek to send a Kill-Team to investigate.[1]
