The Vornskr Battalion is a private military company that’s not officially connected to Taldryan; they lease their equipment from the Clan in exchange for a share of the profits and give Taldryan “preferred client” status, but are otherwise a fully independent mercenary unit that takes its own contracts. Members who are willing to fight for Taldryan but would prefer not to fly the Clan’s colours can serve with the Vornskrs instead. The battalion is led by General Zentru'la under agreement with Consul Erinyes.
History
Founding
Following Zentru'la's discharge from the Imperial Scholae Army with the loss of all ranks and titles as a result of participating in a Battleteam Tavros raid on Sentinel Station, the General was in a period of flux with a lack of available funding, and contacted Erinyes to try to work something out. Erinyes was looking into creating a private military company, officially an independent group that would treat Taldryan]] as a priority client in exchange for the provision of funding and military hardware.
In practice, the Vornskrs were given virtually free rein to manage its day-to-day operations as it saw fit; the only condition that Taldryan's Clan Summit imposed was that the unit refused contracts to strike at known Taldryan assets. Beyond that limitation, the unit readily accepted contracts from other clients in any region of the galaxy they saw fit, and sometimes sub-contracted other mercenary groups to assist them in their operations.
Organisation
Subunits
The Vornskr Battalion is primarily a Battalion strength infantry unit, with one attached attack armour company. The line companies are a standard infantry unit of 152 troops primarily armed with E-11 blaster rifles, broken into 4 platoons (38 troops) which are then divided into squads of 8-12. The assault company has 80 soldiers (4 platoons of 20) usually equipped with BlasTech T-21 light repeating blasters and 72 soldiers broken into 24 different 3-man weapons details each usually operating a BlasTech E-Web heavy repeating blaster.

Elegibility and Rank Structure
Membership of the Vornskr Battalion is open to any members of the Dark Jedi Brotherhood and their associated crew (NPCs). While serving with the Vornskr Battalion, members are often referred to as their equivalent loyalist ranks.
Command of sub-units is not restricted to Taldryan personnel. Starting from the rank of journeyman, one can command a squad. From the equite ranks, command of an entire platoon is available, while command of a company is restricted to those of equite 3 or higher.
Equipment
The Vornskr Battalion will provide new recruits with standard-issue gear: units in the line companies are equipped with Imperial Stormtrooper Armor and E-11 blaster rifles, while units in the assault company are equipped with Imperial Heavy Trooper Armor T-21 light repeating blasters. However, all Vornskr Battalion troops are permitted, even encouraged, to bring their own gear into battle as long as they can work with the troops around them. As a result, the force can look rather heterogeneous, with a mixture of armour types, weapons, and approaches to combat. No-one is sure exactly what to expect when fighting the Vornskr Battalion, or which random Private might be a Jedi with a lightsaber up their sleeve.
Gundark Squad
Gundark Squad is Zentru'la's personal elite crew. Stationed aboard the Harbinger, Gundark Squad consists of Masakado, Lilina Mirin, and Rohla Trugaim, and specialise in Tactical Assault. Gundark Squad is the point of the spear when the Vornskrs attack as a unit, but often run missions alone.
