Homeworld[edit]
Narhadul is one of the greatest Naval Yards in the Imperium, in its heyday approaching Mars itself in size, if not technical skill. The entire Atalantos Worlds region is supplied through Narhadul, and countless voidcraft travel to and from its docks every day. It was crippled during the Heresy, needing more than a thousand years to return to operations, but the Narhadul Dock Dogs carried the planet's blue-grey banner across the Imperium without fail. Narhadul's primary duty is ensuring the Imperial Navy and the War Scribes have everything they need to transport and defend the Emperor's armies wherever they may go. If a captain commands a vessel built on Narhadul, he counts himself lucky indeed.
Background[edit]
These men and women were primarily drawn from the most savage and clever of Narhadul's law enforcement, all well accustomed to fending off pirates, smugglers, and angry merchants alike. Most of the rest served as stevedores and bouncers, bringing their brawn to the Emperor's service as well. More than one Dock Dog came to the Regiment with blood on their hands, and that's exactly how their commanders liked it. As the Heresy began to take its toll on the regiment, penal troopers supplemented the ranks and were used in the most dangerous operations.
Doctrine[edit]
The Dock Dogs have a wide variety of skills, ranging from criminal investigation to voidcraft operations to riot control. All are used to operating in crowds and aboard naval vessels, and many are accomplished pilots with experience flying Imperial Strike Craft to repel boarders. Their principle specialty is using Grav-Chutes to drop down upon the enemy and lay waste to all around them. Every Dock Dog carries a belt full of grenades for just such occasions.
Special Equipment[edit]
Aside from the Grav-Chutes, the Dock Dogs don't carry any equipment beyond the Imperial norm. Each trooper wields a powerful pistol of some variety in one hand, and a Stun Baton in the other. Around the waist is a bandolier of grenades, and across the shoulders is the Grav-Chute. As with most Imperial regiments, lightweight flak armor is standard issue.
