'''Notable Regiments'''

*'''1st Carlisian Shock Troops, "Big Blue One"'''  The 1st Carlisian were the first men from beyond the Solar System to serve in the Emperor's armies, and for two centuries they justified that honor with their martial prowess and selfless valor.  Though at first they were deployed in reserve and security roles, as the Great Crusade went on and ordinary men shouldered more of the burden of the fighting the 1st saw action under the Emperor's own command in battles across the Galaxy.  When humanity's master retired from the Great Crusade to ancient Terra, Big Blue One went with him and stood guard at humanity's birthplace.  The regiment was utterly destroyed in the final battle against [[Hektor Cincinnatus]], but its standard has flown from the Imperial Palace ever since.

*'''2nd Carlisian Shock Troops, "The Sigilite's Own"'''  Like their brothers from the 1st Carlisian, the 2nd served in the Emperor's own First Expedition Fleet.  However, when the [[Hektor Heresy]] erupted, they did not remain on watch on Terra.  Instead, the 2nd accompanied Malcador the Sigilite in his quest for a cadre of men and Astartes who could be entrusted with humanity's future.  It is generally accepted - among those few who know even this much - that the 2nd Carlisian gave their lives so that Malcador's mission could succeed, but through the ages it has been speculated that one of the first Inquisitors came from among this heroic regiment.


'''Notable Shock Troopers'''

*'''Corporal Stewart "Stewie" Parker''', b. 969.M30 (Carlisar IV), d. 044.M31 (Carlisar IV).  Enlisted men rarely rise to fame.  Enlisted men who work in signals are even less likely to become prominent.  Understanding that, it would be fair to say that unlikeliness was Stewie Parker's strong suit.  He was born four weeks premature and given poor odds to survive, scraped his way through Carlisar IV's public education system and found himself with military service as his only prospect of any real value to society.  The enlistment officer predicted that he'd drop out within a day, one week tops.  Instead, Parker served in the Shock Troops throughout the last two decades of the Great Crusade, the seven years of the Hektor Heresy, and the seven years of the Scouring, before accepting retirement at the age of 52.  He was decorated several times for exemplary conduct, but rarely had to use his sidearm.  Once back on Carlisar IV, he published his memoirs and helped to produce engaging vid-narratives based on his books.  The humour and liveliness of Parker's experiences, combined with his ability to make the immense, galaxy-spanning events of the period immediately understandable to people, made him a sector-wide celebrity.  Parker served several terms as a minor municipal figure on his homeworld and was awarded several honorary degrees from the universities of Carlisar.  After Parker's death, time and the rigours of Imperial censorship slowly reduced the amount of his work available to the public.  Nonetheless, even in the forty-first millenium it is not uncommon to find Imperial Guardsmen or Navymen spending their idle hours being entertained by the recollections of the irrepressible Corporal Parker.
