She, like many of the Verghastite women who were drafted into the Tanith First, was an excellent shot, with [[Colonel]] [[Colm Corbec|Corbec]] believing her to be the second-best in the entire regiment after [[Trooper]] [[Hlaine Larkin|Larkin]]. As such, Corbec selected her personally as his [[Imperial Guard Platoon|platoon's]] dedicated sniper.{{Fn|3a}}
When the regiment was deployed on the planet [[Phantine (Planet)|Phantine]] in '''771.[[M41]]''', they were committed to the assault on the [[Blood Pact]]-held city of [[Cirenholm]]. During the battle most of the regiment, including Corbec's platoon, were ambushed by the Blood Pact and the Tanith defence has hampered by both a lack of ammunition (owing to a mix-up on the part of the [[Munitorium]]) and a [[void shield]] cutting off their main avenue of retreat.{{Fn|3a}}{{Fn|3b}} In the fighting, Muril was badly wounded by enemy fire while trying to fall back through an access hatch. Corbec turned back and carried her to safety, but was severely injured himself in the process.{{Fn|3b}}{{Fn|3c}} Muril required a hip implant as a result of her injuries.{{Fn|3c}} Following the regiment's actions in the retaking of the city of [[Cirenholm]], a combination of battlefield casualties and the pressing need to more fully integrate the Verghastite elements of the Tanith First led [[Colonel-Commissar]] [[Ibram Gaunt|Gaunt]] and [[Commissar]] [[Viktor Hark|Hark]] to put forward a number of Verghastite Troopers for consideration for a position in the regiment's elite [[Imperial Guard Scout|scout corps]], which had until that point been dominated exclusively by the native [[Tanith]] Guardsmen. Hark suggested Muril, [[Jajjo]], [[Livara]] and [[Moullu]]. Gaunt agreed with the idea of Muril and Livara in principle, but ultimately left the decision to the leader of the scout corps, [[Sergeant (Imperial Guard)|Sergeant]] [[Oan Mkoll|Mkoll]].{{Fn|3c}}
