The Coven of the Astral Harpy is made up of small craft pilots; i.e. the women than man (pun intended) the attack wings of the fleet.

Most of the older pilots were trained aboard duRante's Honour, but the new breed receive their education directly from exisiting Harpies.

There are currently nowhere near enough experienced pilots to man every squadron (but this is slowly improving). To preserve his ships and operators, the Apostle has forbidden any small craft to be launched without a competent crew.
