Book 9 of the Psychic Awakening Series When Battle Group Kallides of the Indomitus Crusade reached the Nephilim Sub-sector, it encountered a silent zone, appearing to the group's Navigators as a shimmering psychic veil that even calmed the noise of the warp beyond it. Upon entering what the region of space that henceforth became known as the Pariah Nexus, the Battle Group encountered even stranger happenings – including the Geller Fields failing on a number of ships, which would otherwise have been instantly filled with Daemons from the warp, but with no such catastrophe ensuing.
