Document Details
A communication captured and decoded by a member of the Covert Company, hidden until researchers went back through information about the Collapse at the request of the Senate to figure out which information to suppress and not. This communication revealed the names and locations of several women who were Baen Arleth's wives (though multiple wives was an illegal practice in Eusarre Erria) and the children they had carried. The member of the Covert Company who had discovered the communication hid it, fearing that others might go after these women and children who were victims as much everyone else in the Cluster.

Corvin Lien and Keneth Wildner, the only surviving members of the Covert Company, confirmed this information in later interviews with the Senate Research Team.
Post-Collapse Notes
Location and survival of the wives and children could not be confirmed due to complete destruction of communication and records in all systems in the Outer Range. Per official comment by Lead Senate Researcher, Coron Tates: "I can only wish these women and their children well if they still live. They have no doubt suffered more than we know at the hands of Baen Arleth. Officially, I am marking this document Secret and declaring the women and their children a rumor at best."
Teve, my most loyal,
I want you to send a protection detail of Hands to P'lanthi (coordinates attached). In observing our efforts there, I discovered an exquisite creature with hair as fiery as their beautiful sunsets. She resisted my advances at first but sufficient enough threats to her surviving family brought that to a close. Gods, how she screams, Teve! It's a thing of beauty. Her name is Kalyn and she is a grand addition to my collection.
A new soldier already grows within her belly. I've left forces in place to keep an eye on her in my absence but a second force to protect my new prize would be greatly appreciated. At least until I have the opportunity to gather all my wives in one place once we've crushed the Corelings.— Sent from Baen Arleth's flagship, the Sulaco, to the office of Teve Butlee, leader of the Hands of Baen, on Tinoe Lypeuant
Warlord Arleth,
News of a new soldier coming to our ranks is excellent news, sir. I will immediately send Hands to P'lanthi.
As your old friend and not the head of your bodyguards, Baen, are you eventually intending to take a wife on every planet we control? There's now Janie here on Tinoe, Frutha on Trinne, that fiesty Teceanisisite princess from Asonsbau, the mercenary bitch we caught on Cane's that you insisted on fucking, and the daughter of that old asshole Senator from Sati.
Take a break, man! Or at least save a few of the women for the rest of us.— Sent from the office of Teve Butlee, leader of the Hands of Baen, on Tinoe Lypeuant to Baen Arleth's flagship, the Sulaco
Notes from Skye Watrous Included with Document
Attempted to locate all of the women mentioned since communication was captured almost a year ago using other captured communication and records secured by other Covert teams. The following is the information that could be discovered. To anyone who may find this in the future if I don't make it through the war...I hid this communication out of fear of retaliation against these women and their children. From what the other teams have found, they don't want to be in this any more than the rest of the Cluster. These kids, at the least, don't deserve to suffer. Maybe that's horrible of me. But I'm not letting this get out until hopefully after everything is over, just to give them a chance to run. And I won't be sorry about that.
On Janie of Tinoe
Janie Howill knew Baen Arleth from their youth on Tinoe Lypeuant. She was his first wife and was married to him before he ever began his rise to power. They have two children together, Kata and Atthel.
On Frutha of Trinne
Frutha Rookson was given to Baen Arleth when his forces took over the planet, part of the bargain of surrender. They have three children together - Juane, Samy, and Rence - although rumor mill gathered from Covert Team Star implies that Rence, the youngest, may not be Arleth's.
On the fiesty Teceanisisite princess from Asonsbau
Research revealed that the Teceanisisite princess Chera Rosson, daughter of the former King of the North, Bertin Rosson. Original information implied that when the northern region fell, the Rosson's were killed. Covert Team Storm has visual to confirm Chera's survival and one child with Arleth, named Berti.
On the "mercenary bitch"
Believed to be Captain Meley Warders, formerly of the Warders Raiders. Reports previously established total destruction of the team. Covert Team Storm believes they have 60% visual confirmation of Meley's survival. 100% confirmation on two children with Arleth, Licia and Patra.
On the daughter of old Senator "asshole"
Confirmed to be Ather, youngest daughter of Senator Aryne Dudola of Sati Euantne. The Senator and his family escaped the System but Ather was unaccounted for until visual confirmed by Covert Team Storm. Three children with Arleth - Hillie, Arraic, and unnamed newborn - confirmed.
On newest wife from P'lanthi
New details from tracking the Hands team from Tinoe Lypeuant confirm that P'lanthi wife is Kalyn Gaillan. One child confirmed in the womb.
