From the stoic look on his face, you'd hardly know the things the soldier codenamed Wardog has seen.

An invertebrate hivemind on a swampy, undeveloped world of seemingly no importance...yet their telepathic tendrils had already reached across space to control some of the key minds of the Core Worlds. The campaign was supposed to be quick and decisive, a surgical strike...but how can you beat a foe that already knows your every move before you make it?
