Angels in disguise? Not according to Colonel Adamski!

Centuries before they settled down, or at least before Joschka settled down, the galaxy would have been hard-pressed to name two less-likely candidates for angel-hood than Rada Ni Drako and Joschka, then known as Yori Dar Orkhan.

"The One Who Waited:" The Adamantine Division's Scouts bring home former Prisoners of War.

"Winter's Wonders, Major's Woes:" Rada didn't start it, but she and Yori certainly ended it (with a little help).

"A New Star Rises:" Hope comes from the stars.
