Changes

With Tanith destroyed, the Tanith First-and-Only had no homeworld from which to draw new recruits, but the Ghosts eventually garnered a strong reputation after a number of actions, in particular the [[Siege of Vervunhive]]. After the heavy fighting of the siege the Ghosts were reduced to their lowest numbers yet, but received a huge influx of new recruits from Vervunhive who, thanks to [[Warmaster]] [[Macaroth]]'s [[Act of Consolation]], were allowed to join any regiment of the Imperial Guard they desired since their hive had been destroyed.{{Fn|3d}} The cultural divide between the Tanith and Verghastite elements of the regiment became an ongoing problem, with the Tanith resenting the newcomers and the Verghastites resenting that resentment and feeling like second-class Ghosts shut out of the regiment's elite sections.{{Fn|5a}}{{Fn|5g}} The introduction of women into the regiment as part of the Vervunhive influx also caused some tension, but this was more quickly resolved as the women proved themselves in combat and the complaints of the anti-women Tanith such as Major Rawne became tired and repetitive.{{Fn|4x}} The greater cultural divide was eventually bridged due to shared combat experiences and the promotion of several Verghastites to platoon command, as well as the first Verghastite making it into the regiment's elite scouting cadre. By the end of the conflict on [[Aexe Cardinal]] the regiment was fighting as a cohesive whole.{{Fn|6}}
