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 Chancellor Cassandra Oriana Tyris.
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. He contracted venerable tactician and Clone Wars veteran Colonel Shin to serve as his executive officer - an old comrade from Scholae Palatinae.
