Mercenaries Slaughtered

[11 February 3070; Kathil Korroborator] The interstellar news for the last few years has been announcing the death of the mercenary industry, decrying the many turncoats suborned by the Word of Blake, or reporting the annihilation of yet another long-standing unit. Wolf’s Dragoons are shattered, their landhold a glowing reminder of the Word of Blake’s resolve. Little Richard’s Panzer Brigade died fighting on Pleione. The Dismal Disinherited are dead. In the popular eye, mercenaries are a dying breed.
