Explorers: Nymeros, Tristan, Rogi.
Speaker Tal welcomes the Explorers as saviours, stating that the Svard System has many issues that need to be taken care of, chief among them the continuous assaults of the Whisperers, some sort of "curse" possessing the locals, turning them into frenzied killers. The Explorers witness this personally, when they're assaulted by their own escorts after an official celebration.
Still on the hunt for the missing envoy, the Explorers travel to Silence, a lonely asteroid renowned for his talented sculptors. On their way there, they're assaulted by two xeno ships, apparently composed of crystals. After a short battle the two ships depart, damaged but not defeated.
The Explorers land on Silence, and while approaching the Saint's Tower, the thousands of unfinished statues surrounding the monument animate, and attack them and their PDF troops.
They hurry to the inside of the Tower, where they must face a towering statue of the God Emperor Himself. Once the icon is destroyed, the influence animating the statues outside dissipates, and calm reigns one more. The Explorer do not find any trace of the missing envoy, but have time to check the records contained in the Tower: it seems that in the past a mysterious xeno race called the Yu'vath cast its shadow on the system, but was repelled by the Navarre dynasty.
Could these Yu'vath be behind the Whisperers, the crystal ships, and the weird force animating the statues? The Explorers report their finding to Speaker Tal and to Captain Keel, then lay low for a few weeks while they perform extended repairs on their ship, and heal their wounds.
