Erich was dragged out of the cloning facility, which existed in a secluded area of the Empire, or what remained of it, and was quickly forced into a flight suit before being dragged off to the military base's hangar bay, where he saw several thousand men like himself all lined up.
Most of these men were the lucky few soldiers who were able to be revived. After all, the resources of the Empire were severely strained now that over half of their worlds had been devoured by the Naraku Hive Fleet Terminus. And because of this, most men who died would never be brought back to life.
In fact, almost every single one of these men was from a special forces fighter squadron, or were criminals who had previously served in one of them. As Erich was forced forward by the armed agents of the Imperial Intelligence Services, he saw a familiar face, which was none other than the Splinter underboss known by the moniker of "Butcher."
