Editing The Markian Corps (section)

==Armaments==
* The primary armament of the Markian Corps during the Heresy is the Atashia-Pattern bold-action lasgun. Based on primitive designs from the Age of Strife, the Atashia-Pattern's powerful but easily-fried capacitors require a new cell to be loaded after every shot, sacrificing rate of fire for extra punch. It should be noted, however, that expert users of the Atashia-Pattern lasgun can fire dozens of times in only a minute, even including reloading of the ten-shot magazine. After the Verdunian Reforms, the Atashia-Pattern was phased out and replaced with the Markia-Pattern, though the Atashia-Pattern continues to see use as a ceremonial weapon.
* The Karmia-Pattern lascarbine is an improvement upon the Atashia-Pattern. Produced for drop regiments, L'Infanterie de Marine, mechanized regiments, sappers, tank crews, and all Karmian forces, the Karmia-Pattern is semiautomatic unlike the Atashia-Pattern, and is loaded via a twenty- or thirty- capacitor magazine on the bottom. Though it was mostly replaced by the Markia-Pattern lasgun after the Heresy, Karmian regiments continue using it out of tradition.
* The main service weapon after the Hektor Heresy is the Markia-Pattern lasgun, designed to receive the laspacks used by the rest of the Imperial Guard. It boasts equal firepower to the Atashia-Pattern while also being semiautomatic, but also possesses modularity, and can be modified for use by snipers, drop troops, light infantry, sappers, and tank and artillery crews.
* The mountain gun is the main piece of air-mobile artillery and mountain infantry regiments for many reasons. Besides being light enough for transport by valkyries or horses, the mountain gun can also be disassembled easily, allowing it to be moved around in pieces and stored with ease.
* The sniper mantlet is a high-caliber anti-materiel rifle mounted on a heavy shield. Built for trench warfare and countering light armor, the sniper mantlet is capable of sharpshooting enemies, even on the frontline of a siege.
* As experts on siege and tunnel warfare, the Lemartian sappers make heavy use of mole transports to bypass enemy lines, an ability they used to great effect during the [[Core Worlds Campaign]].
* Designed in the Hektor Heresy to combat asymmetrical warfare and penetrate thick defenses, the banelord is a baneblade design indigenous to Ghalhal. The banelord forgoes all superheavy weaponry for two decks which can hold a Markian infantry company of 100, a single demolisher, vanquisher, or battle cannon; and six multilasers.
