→The Coup
*[[Paternoval Envoy]] [[Helad Gibran]] and his wife were both killed by his ambitious cousin [[Dovrian Ofar]]. The hit was approved by the [[Paternova]], who was disappointed with Gibran's performance during the war. In the aftermath, Ofar became the new Paternoval Envoy.
*[[Speaker for the Chartist Captains]], [[Juskina Tull]], still guilty over the failed [[Proletarian Crusade]], was goaded into committing suicide by her aid, [[Anastay]], in truth an agent of Vangorich.
*[[Lord Commander Militant]] of the [[Imperial Guard]] [[Abel Verreault]] and [[Lord High Admiral of the Imperial Navy]] [[Lansung]] were killed by each others weapons by [[Master of the Administratum]] [[Tobris Ekharth]]. This Ekharth revealed that he was not the "real" Master of the Administratum but in fact an impostor, likely a [[Callidus Assassin]]. It is unknown what happened to the real Tobris Ekharth.
*[[Grand Provost Marshal]] of the [[Adeptus Arbites]] [[Vernor Zeck]] was killed by the assassin [[Beast Krule]]. However, Krule disagreed with the mission and Vangorich's ambition. He killed Zeck to stay close to Vangorich, but became secretly committed to his destruction.
*[[Fabricator-General]] of the [[Adeptus Mechanicus]] [[Kubik]] was assaulted in his palace on [[Mars]] by an [[Eversor Assassin]]. His entourage was annihilated and he was confronted by Vangorich himself. Vangorich gave Kubik two options: die by his hand and have the Martian [[Noosphere]] and all of its data destroyed by an advanced computer virus or to voluntarily shut himself down and give his intelligence core over to Vangorich. Faced with the possible destruction of the Mechanicum's collective knowledge, Kubik complied and deleted his own consciousness. Vangorich installed his intelligence core into [[Eldon Urquidex]], who took on the Kubik's identity.
