When Greg's military contract was terminated, he was allowed to restructure the team among the DEO and continue his battle against the Sheeda. Naturally, he knew this meant he had to bring an expert Sheeda fighter onto his team. Ystina was his first recruit. This recent incarnation is now known as the Seven Soldiers of Victory. Originally founded in Star City, which had its veil between our plane and the Void weakened by occult architecture, Greg's first Seven Soldiers consisted of Greg, Ystina, and an early Team Arrow (Oliver Queen, John Diggle, Roy Harper, Thea Queen, and Dinah Lance), but when the Sheeda threat to Star City had been neutralized, Team Arrow wasn't willing to pack up and move, so Greg and Ystina went looking for five other archons.
