Editing The Markian Corps (section)

==Regiments==
The Markian Corps uses a simple alphabetic classification for the regiments in a simple three-letter form. The first letter signifies the specialization of the regiment, while the second is whether the regiment is infantry, artillery, or vehicle-focused. The third is usually just an R for regiment, although for bureaucratic purposes other letters are used for things such as ranger companies, logistics, attached Mechanicus forces, intelligence, and formerly, naval support.

===Specialty===
* B denotes the regiment is a superheavy regiment. Sometimes, it is used as a fourth letter on a regiment's classification to denote that the regiment has baneblade or other superheavy support.
* A denotes that the regiment makes heavy use of aircraft and is from Kouralia.
* H denotes that the regiment is from Karmia.
* L denotes it is a line regiment, meaning it is meant for frontline combat in a straightforward manner, such as line infantry or armor regiments. It also means that the regiment is non-world specific.
* M denotes the regiment has minimal armor support and is from Thenar.
* O is exclusive to Kouralian maritime regiments.
* S denotes the regiment is a siege regiment, and is Lemartian in origin.

===Composition===
* A denotes the regiment is an artillery unit.
* I denotes the regiment is infantry.
* R is a letter only used by the roughrider regiments.
* T usually means the regiment is focused on vehicles, although it is generally associated with tanks.

Line Infantry Regiments (LIR) are the most common units in a grand corps, consisting primarily of infantry with light armored and artillery support. Highly disciplined and able to handle any situation, though not excelling in any in particular. Mechanized Regiments (HIR) are mobile elements of the Markian Corps meant to exploit breakthroughs and plug gaps in the line, originating from Atashia. Les Régiments de la Sapeurs de la Lemartia (SIR), or simply sapper regiments, are specialists from Lemartia equipped with breaching drills, mole weapons, mole transports, heavy armor, and special weapons, that specialize in siege warfare and tunnel fighting. The Mountain Infantry Regiments (MIR) of Thenar are light infantry specialized in alpine warfare as their name suggests, although they also have advanced experience with forests and plains.

Artillery Regiments (LAR) are highly prominent in the Markian Corps, and able to smash a hole in any line. Artillery regiments are rather large, possessing a mix of mortars, basilisks, medusas, and mountain guns. In case multiple grand corps come together to form an army, the artillery regiments form a single artillery corps. The Air-Mobile Artillery (AAR) regiments of Kouralia are a strange contradiction: they are highly mobile thanks to their light mountain guns, which can be transported in most air transports. 

Armor Regiments (LTR) are well-equipped and handled by trained crewmen as with all Markian regiments, although are simply there to fill a niche, and so do not hold the same distinction as other regiments in the Corps. Baneblades are very rarely used in LTR as spearheads or command vehicles, but they are in their greatest numbers in Superheavy Armor Regiments (BTR), which can penetrate all but the thickest defenses. Alongside the BTR are the Superheavy Infantry Regiments (BIR), which consist of superheavy transports that shuttle infantry under harrowing fire. The Air-Defense Regiments (DTR) are outfits consisting of anti-aircraft artillery and tanks.

The Air Regiments (ATR) of Kouralia consist solely of aircraft. Once plentiful in the Great Crusade, limitations placed by the Imperial Navy led to the downfall of the Air Regiment, and now only have avenger strike fighters in their numbers. Drop regiments (AIR) originate from the world of Kouralia, trained in high-altitude insertion much like drop regiments of other worlds; however, unlike other worlds' counterparts, Markian drop regiments carry mountain gun artillery with them to provide good long-range firepower alongside gunship support.

Maritime Regiments (OTR) are another unique force from Kouralia, as each regiment is an entire fleet of maritime vessels with supporting naval infantry. Vessels within an OTR are designed to be easily transported by specialized Mechanicus voidships from Ghalhal, and are equipped with enough firepower to match an artillery regiment, and supported with a complement of highly trained marines to take shore positions and perform maritime operations. Naval Infantry Regiments (OIR) are the infantry complement of OTRs that can transport, deploy, and protect naval infantry battalions for assaulting shoreside defenses.
