Ghost Division Update #1: Meet the Ghosts

[SECURE TRANSMISSION FROM THE WESTERN REACHES]

Intel reports an elite group, unknown in number, who report directly to one of the highest-ranked Imperials in the Western Reaches.

Status of the queen is unknown, but we’ve been able to dig up some dirt on a few of Kraviss’s lackeys. . .

It wasn’t in chronological order, but at least some order helps when you’re hunting down bits and pieces of larger series!
