Sacnoth Lift Infantry Brigade
13th Lift Infantry Company

Introduction

During the Fifth Frontier War, Sword Worlds military forces were divided into four separate commands: Narsil, Joyeuse, Gram, and Sacnoth. The Narsil command dealt exclusively with the Darrian campaign to spinward of the Sword Worlds. The Joyeuse and Gram commands pursued attacks against the Third Imperium in the Vilis and Lanth subsectors respectively. And the Sacnoth command was tasked with defending the Sword Worlds flank (to rimward).

Early on in the war Sacnoth’s own Lift Infantry Brigade (a TL12 conscripted unit) deployed the 13th Lift Infantry Company to garrison Mithril. Naval Intelligence speculated that this was a punishment unit as it appeared to be guarding a labour camp on an otherwise unimportant world.

The Company Commander was Colonel Einar Novák (aka “Colonel White”), a particularly ruthless and brutal ‘warlord’ with a successful past as a merc unit commander. It has been assumed that this posting was the result of some undisclosed misdemeanour. Other oddities are the inclusion of two historians and two physicists in the HQ section, and the removal of most of the company’s transportation assets.
