You nod in approval as you look over the dataslate. An elite force of Lernaean Terminators and several dreadnoughts. Around 500 terminators in all, plus 100 dreadnoughts. The rest of your men are regular infantry, numbering 900. Indeed, it would even be possible to pass yourself off as a regular line chapter, keeping the Lernaeans hidden until the moment is right to strike. Armed with volkite and heavy weapons, they can crush all but the most resolute foes. The Orphans of Lerna are a force to be reckoned with, hard hitting and tough, though it'll be difficult to resupply and replace your elite troops, especially since you're renegades with no formal allegiance. But, all that means is you have to be even more subtle when dealing with the enemy.

You hand the dataslate back to Kylon. There is nothing to change here, just a confirmation that your forces are at full readiness for the battles to come. Now that you have your final confirmation, you and Kylon walk over to the captain of your ship, the <span class="mu-i">Rod of Asclepius</span>, to review your coming mission. Captain Cimon is in charge of your fleet, making sure that your 3 ships are maintained and kept to a high standard, ever important for a force that will be on the move. If your ships are in need of repairs, or have the opportunity to be upgraded at a forgeworld, he will be the one to go to.
