At first, knowing that General Titus had fallen from grace in the Imperium’s appreciation for turning his own forces against the Motherworld, Kora’s idea was to track down Titus, assemble an army for him, and ask him to lead the impending resistance effort.
To carry out that plan, Kora teamed up with Gunnar. Their first lead — the contact who linked Gunnar to the Bloodaxe siblings — brought Kora and Gunnar to the larger port city of Providence. There, they met Kai, a mercenary, who agreed to fly them to Titus to recruit other fighters. They stopped on Neu-Wodi, picking up Tarak, and on Daggus, picking up Nemesis. Finally, they reached the moon known as Pollux, where Titus had been spending his post-exile years drinking himself numb and fighting in gladiator matches to make a living. Approached by Kora, he initially refused to help, but his mind was changed by the promise of revenge against the Imperium.
Kora and Gunnar were able to locate Darrian, Devra, and the rest of the Bloodaxe insurgents, who were stationed on Sharaan — a planet with a civilization known for offering refuge and shelter to the downtrodden of the galaxy. Unwilling to jeopardize the whole resistance for one small mission, the Bloodaxes refused to help the Veldt farmers. However, Darrian had his mind changed by Kora and rallied a small detachment of insurgents to join Kora’s band aboard Kai’s freighter. As punishment for hiding and providing for the insurgents, the entire 10,000-year-old peaceful civilization of Sharaan was destroyed by Noble with The King’s Gaze’s weapons.
