The core of Fartok’s rebel army is the Black Guard comprising the most experienced and loyal of his fighters. This is mostly made up of veterans of Fartok’s Battlegroup Nine, although as the rebellion has gathered pace the Black Guard has grown with the addition of many other seasoned warriors freed by the rebel army. The rebel army is itself growing so large that Fartok has divided his forces into several smaller commands, each under the eye of a trusted rebel leader.
