Notes 

• Phocis is an 'Sanctioned Esper' which by the writs of the Celestial Chorus and the Canalis Primaris marks him as an individual who is permitted to manipulate the warp for a greater purpose. Technically he is also expected to report back when he gets too old or strays too far from the righteous path, or desires retirement, for his summary execution and cremation due to handling warp energies.
• Carries a number of drugs which can temporarily cut his higher brain functions from interacting with the Warp. He has to carry those drugs in the event that he draws too much Warp Tant and becomes a possible conduit of corruptive energy.
• Is assigned to the Pompey after Lydecker's father bought his contract. Phocis now serves Laurence on his quest to ensure Lydecker-Baker returns to being a profitable house.

Gear: Survival Gear, Commlink, Demo Charges, Fez

Notes 

• Mbada is an apefolk living on a verdant world of Calnuna Major, located within the unnumbered words of the Celestial Chorus, the populated planets within mundane space. Mbada, like other Apefolk, are natives to Calnuna. He is a member of a northern militia group that controls a Watcher's Peninsula towards the north, a group distinguished by the fez caps they wear.
• As a rebel, Mbada is active in the resistance of the Skalliax-Hornite Mercantile Concern (SHMC). Skalliax-Hornite has set up operations to mine from the nearby mountains as well as clearcut several portions of verdant jungle for farmland. Mbada's group fights, both to drive corporatists from the planet, as well as establish a separate domain on the Watcher's Peninsula.
• Mbada's monoblade, like that of his comrades is based off the form of the curved kukri knife that is capable of both melee slashing and balanced for throwing. The monomolecular structure adds a +1 to the normally 'small scale' weapon to represent how sharp it is.

Notes 

• Gedran Ironstar is a Guild Dwarf mechanic operating in and around Combine Space. This is a region controlled by the Merchant Combine which employs the Guild Dwarves to scour planets for ores used in ship construction and powering jump engines that allow ships to shift from mundane space within the Galactic Chours into warpspace. Gedran's main job is repairing mole machine engines and other mechanical issues.
• Operates out of a subterranean base located near a massive underground lake. From there, mole machines are serviced and sent out to dig new tunnels. Gedran spends his time fishing and playing cards between services orders that require him to find downed mole machines within the tunnel.
• Carries a semi-automatic scattergun with a slug pistol as backup. He preferred close quarters weapons, as one never knows what they find in the tunnels beneath several of these barely charted worlds within the Combine.

Notes 

•  Abigail is a Markupo Commando, an elite organization within the Human Defense Forces located in Sirius sector and part of the Human Alliance. As with all Markupo Commandos, or MCs, Pillar is a trained guerilla fighter and typically deployed in hazardous natural environments to strike at the enemy.
• While she is dedicated and knowledgeable about her job as a commando, she is ignorant of the great galactic scene, making her taciturn when it comes to casual conversation and when she does speak, she will stick to what she knows, how to kill certain enemies, or will ask questions. Making her feel foolish and encouraging her silence.
• Standard kit includes a laser rifle, slugthrower sidearm, and chain sword. When using grenades, Abigail typically uses thermals as generally everything, even the beasts of Markupo, fears fire.
