Who are the Phantine Skyborne
The Phantine Skyborne are some of the rarest sights in the Imperium. With less information than the Sable Swords or the Segmentum Pacificus, they are perhaps THE most unknown regiment in the imperium. Heck, even regiments like the Ritterghast or the Janiverden Tunnelrats have some mention in recent codexes.
The Phantine are typically comprised of the local PDF who have volunteered for advanced training. They function much like paratroopers or SAS commandos due to the extremely high altitude of Phantine making every male about the age of 18 an SAS (the fact that their planets landmass is comprised of mountains mean they can't be SAS Quarter of SAS are mountain troops) COMMANDO IN SPAAACE. From what we don't know, we have not seen countless regiments fall in some doomed infantry advance in some desolate corrupted world which means that among the guard, likely due to their pet grav chutes, they are among the more well trained and managed regiments in the Imperium- no small feat but then again no large one either.
