==Notes==
 
In [[2742]] a private from the Seventieth, a gunner on a [[Turhan]] combat vehicle named [[Sandra Ustus]], was inexplicably struck deaf, blind and dumb for five days. When Ustus recovered from whatever had caused her condition, she declared that the ghost of [[Jocasta Cameron]] had appeared to her and brought her a prophetic prediction: that [[First Lord]] [[Simon Cameron]] would be killed by an "assassin's digging machine". While this prediction would be largely forgotten, in [[2751]] Simon Cameron was killed by a Miner 'Mech which had apparently malfunctioned. As a result, Ustus' vision was one of a number of incidents that would fuel the rise of the [[Cult of the Saints Cameron]] during the closing years of the [[Star League]].<ref name="TRO3075p172">''Technical Readout: 3075'', p. 172, "Turhan"</ref>
