History

The First Plague Company is known to constantly move from one galactic war front to the next, spreading disease and decay wherever they go. Thus the Harbingers conflicts are characterized by swarms of luckless creatures they leave in their wake such as Poxwalkers and Plague Zombies. In subsequent wars, the 1st Plague Company will call upon these shambling hordes to overwhelmn their foes through sheer numbers.[6]

After the Fall of Cadia, Typhus and the 1st Plague Company appeared around the shattered Cadian Gate more than once, continuing to infect worlds and turning the population of entire planets into Poxwalkers.[5]
