TYPE: CORMORANT-LEVEL ENCRYPTED REPORT FOLLOWS, KEPLER REDACTION WATCH [01003] ZAGAN GLORIOSUS EXTRACTION: DEBRIEFING My Ghost and I have searched every document available to us in the Vanguard, Hidden, and Praxic archives. After years of conflict, we know that every Legion is unique in both doctrine and combat potential. Yet we have been unable to track the lineage of any enemy-classified Cabal unit directly to the Barant Imperium. Imperium doctrines and technology, from squad formations to combat vehicle extraction and ablative defense technologies, seem to be their own in all ways except one: Caiatl's forces were actively developing these technologies and methods—and they are still years away from deployment. Of interest to you and the commander: One of the Imperium's field officers, Premier Lume, orchestrated their forces as we escaped their flagship. Our searches turned up a "Lume" in City records. He was an adolescent Barant whose military service had just begun when he suffered a critical wound in the conflict with Savathûn on her throne world. According to the empress herself, our Warlocks and medical frames were unable to extract Hive shrapnel from his abdomen, thereby assigning him a wounded-in-action status and permanent discharge from the front lines. His file ends there, coinciding with several desertions among the Coalition prior to the Neomuni crisis. It's the only correlation I've found. The "Premier" aboard the Gloriosus was a full-grown morph. For this to be the same Barant seems impossible… but the more I learn about the Imperium, from their tech to their weapons, the less they make sense.
