#4 Spirit-Realm/Otherworld Mercenary Squads (1st-expansion compatible)

Directly compatible with the 1st-expansion Spirit-Realm Drift campaign. Usable without the 1st as well (present-world campaign only).

Morale notation convention: in this file, "squad Cohesion ±N" / "Cohesion ±N" / "morale ±N" all follow the 00-05 §12 mapping — core alone = squad Cohesion, 1st-expansion campaign = domain morale, using the 30-03 variant = this expansion's morale. The body uses the unified notation "squad Cohesion."
