“Are you kidding?” Jaghatai Khan asked. “It’s great! Oh yeah, I’m finally home again! Have you any idea how much I missed this place?”<br>
“GLAD TO HEAR IT, JAGHATAI,” the Emperor said. He had arrived in the skyport of the Great Fortress of Mundus Planus mere minutes before, to deliver a message of great import to the Khan of the Scars, and now the two were discussing the improvements Jaghatai had seen fit to make on his return. “AND THE NEW RECRUITS?”<br>
“Three thousand volunteers per day for the last three weeks,” Jaghatai said with grim satisfaction. “We’re allowed to pick and choose, really.

“BETTER. IT’S THE LARGEST DARK ELDAR SPACE STATION LEFT IN THE GALAXY.”<br>
A cruel smirk twisted Jaghatai’s lips. “I like the way you think, Father.”
