The Gal Vorbak appear substantively in the later surface assault. Their presence is one reason the battle cannot be described simply as intact companies exchanging conventional fire. At the guildhall, the threat includes powerful close-combat opponents alongside the enemy’s armour and Titans.
Ventanus’s encounter makes the bodily danger immediate. A seemingly decisive sword wound does not stop an attacker quickly enough to prevent the captain from being wounded in return. This dossier focuses on that battlefield relevance. It does not import a full origin history, transformation system, or catalogue of members from other works. Their place in the collection is to show how the surface defenders must adapt to the attack actually encountered, rather than the normal battle they expected before Calth’s betrayal.
