==History==
Mung came from a large wealthy family of [[Xeno]]savants, explorers, Xenolinguists and adventurers who worked for numerous [[Inquisitor]]s and [[Rogue Trader]]s. Because of this, Mung possessed the confidence of someone born to riches and was willing to undertake almost any action she needed to succeed. Her career led Mung to see much of the [[galaxy]]'s horrors and drew the attention of [[Inquisitor]] [[Athocles Van Roth]] in [[M42]]. Due to her knowledge of the Aeldari and her military capability, the Inquisitor sought her aid as he was planning to travel to the [[Maiden World]] of [[Veloria]]. Once there, he sought to attempt to master the use of a xenos device known as [[Baddkrasha's Crown]] on the [[Ork]]- and [[Tyranid]]-infested world. Van Roth knew Mung would not be able to resist visiting a Maiden World and proven correct when she agreed to join him. She then combined her army{{Fn|1a}}, and her warship ''[[Skolaros Exemplarum]]'',{{Fn|1b}}, with the Inquisitor's forces, which would defend him as he experimented with the Crown.{{Fn|1a}}
However, disaster struck when a large number of [[Ork]] warships suddenly appeared in Veloria's orbit. With their fleet being forced to withdraw from the Maiden World, the Inquisitor's forces were left stranded. Only too late did Van Roth realize that Baddkrasha's Crown drew Orks to it, every time it was used. However, Van Roth then came up with a plan that would use the Crown to draw the newly arrived Orks into the Tyranids on Veloria. Once this was done, Van Roth would destroy a wrecked [[Eldar]] [[Haven Spire]], that lay near their camp. The [[Space Station]]'s destruction would then block the only entrance to Van Roth's camp and give them time to be evacuated. Mung and the [[Watch Captain]] [[Daox Glykas]] were among those who had concerns about the plan, due to how it could fail in countless ways. They even argued for leaving the Crown behind, so they could escape, but Van Roth refused to do so. In the end, though, both were convinced to follow Van Roth's plan. It hit a snag, though, when Van Roth learned how confusing the layout of a Haven Spire could be. This required him to make an alliance with a number of Eldar, who still lived within the Haven Spire. In return for evacuating them from Veloria, the Eldar would tell the Inquisitor how to activate the Haven Spire's self destruct sequence.{{Fn|1a}}
