- I'd suggest putting the detail in the composition history. For example, the Bad Dream article has this line for 2821: "At this point in time the Bad Dream were a medium-weight unit stationed on New Wessex and operating at just below three-quarters of full strength." You could change that to "At this point in time, the Bad Dream were under contract to the DCMS, and were a medium-weight unit stationed on New Wessex, operating at just below three-quarters of full strength."
