Unit Description
The Word of Blake’s elite independent operations unit, designed for espionage and head-hunting. Loosely attached to the 52nd Shadow Division, in a similar fashion to the Fox’s Teeth & Sorenson’s Sabres, the unit been used as a troubleshooter unit, for "special" operations.
History
Originally formed from two special operation units, Opacus from the Light of Mankind & Venatori from the Manei Domini, which were merged into the Opacus Venatori in 3066.
At the beginning of the Jihad in 3067, the unit was involved in a number of operations, including the elimination of WolfNet operatives in the former Chaos March. In June 3068, they captured the Heir-Designate of the Draconis Combine, Hohiro Kurita on Dieron.
In 3069, the unit aided the 22nd Division in a lightning assault on Moore.[1]
Elements of the unit were involved in the execution of the ruling family of Achernar in 3070.
In late March 3075 the Opacus Venatori raided the Draconis Combine world of Isesaki. The Venatori levelled the headquarters of Isesaki Shipping along with a wide swathe of the commercial district of Ukonsoi City, and killed Viscount Ernest Machida.[2][3]
Officers
The unit was led by Specter Precentor Berith since December, 3069.

Independent Operations, head hunting, covert operations
