Ghost Cabal
Fleet's Boss. Ghosts. But WHO sits on this GC (Guidance Council)??? "Much of Fleet thought the Guidance Council was just a rumour, a tale to be told late at night. The administrative version of a ghost ship story, told to frighten junior bureaucrats into good behaviour. Select very senior officers knew better." (DL)

“Major,” Erik said in disbelief, “the Guidance Council’s just a ghost ship tale…”

“It’s absolutely real,” Trace corrected him. “The Captain told me. Admiral Anjo was an intensely selfish man of no personal courage whatsoever. He’s as likely to kill himself as I am to start drinking. If Guidance Council wanted it done, they would have turned to their most trusted operative on Homeworld. (DL)

"Colonel, I’ve been sent here by the Guidance Council.”
 * Colonel Khola, a Kulina, carries out the GC's orders:

Khola took a deep breath. “Yes Admiral.” This was why they’d come to him. He didn’t like it, but he was Kulina, and Kulina made a lifestyle of doing things that most people would rather not. “Why me?”

“It must be someone beyond reproach,” said Bedi with certainty. (DL)


 * The GC told Admiral Anjo to deal with Captain Pantillo of UFS Phoenix: "I was given specific instructions to deal with Pantillo. Immediately, that was the word I received. I know many of the Guidance Council were in agreement at the time, and only now, in hindsight...” (DL)


 * "Guidance Council had decided to cut its losses and have all three of its senior command ‘disappeared’ in one swift blow." (RS-1)
