Editing Dolsene Rifles (section)

==Background==

Dolsene is a world perpetually under siege. Located on the very doorstep of the Halo Stars, it has been raided, ravaged and assaulted by all manner of [[Xenos of the Hektor Heresy|xenos]] horrors down the years. Over the years this has bred a highly militaristic and egalitarian population, where universal service is the norm, the mandatory conscription of women in times of need and levies of reserve troops which make up the bulk of the population must give one month every year for training and ongoing defence activities as well as being called up when war threatens.
These features, coupled with a strict training program and advanced equipment breeds some of the best troops in the Imperial Army and later Guard. Though Dolsene Regiments only rarely leave their embattled homeworld, when they do they are praised for their methods of war, their defensive genius and offensive shock.
