=Military Forces of Victorum= ==Imperial Navy== '''[[Battlefleet Victorum]]''' is the primary arm of the Imperial military in the Victorum Sector. Owing to the immense amount of trade flowing through the Grand Trunks, as well as the slight but growing trickle of development fostered by Rogue Traders beyond the Mylas Cloud and Cliffs of Roland, it has grown to become one of the largest and most powerful battlefleets in the Segmentum. But this strength is hollow, for at the heart of Battlefleet Victorum are shameful secrets, ancient vendettas, and the ennui of sloth that only peace can bring. During the 36th Millennium, Battlefleet Victorum fell under the sway of the Gareox Prerogative. Carrier vessels, including some unique to the Sector, were constructed in large numbers and proved their worth in enforcing the mandates of the Sector's rulers. Warships from Victorum were also at the forefront of the conflict, taking part in some of the first battles between the carrier fleets of Gareox and the "Big Gun" battleships of Battlefleet Bakka. Amongst the tragedies of the Age of Apostasy, the Gareox Prerogative initiated a segmentum-wide civil war unnoticed by most of the Imperium. Many of the sector's Navy officers were slain, and the carriers were destroyed in battle or exiled to reserve yards after Bakka emerged victorious. The teachings and tactics of these rebellious officers, however, remained in favor with the officers of the sector for they were particularly well-suited for Battlefleet Victorum's normal roster of pirate-hunting and tithe enforcement duties. Victorum would be politically sidelined well into the forty-first millennium, and a strain of viperous resentment still curls about the heart of the fleet's officer corps. In a sign of the disapproval in which Battlefleet Victorum continues to be held, it was one of several sectors called upon by Segmentum Command at Bakka to render a tithe of ships and squadrons to replace those lost in the First Tyrannic War. Having painstakingly rebuilt its strength, on par with Segmentum Command itself, the loss of so many of its best vessels to Bakka's demands remains a festering wound among the fleet's high command, and the theft of such strength has stretched the resources of the battlefleet. In response, the Lord High Admiral has authorized the reactivation of mothballed reserve vessels. Many of the ships now being resurrected by the shipyards of the sector are veterans of the Gareox Prerogative, treacherous vessels who still bear the stain of their ancient sin. The symbol of Battlefleet Victorum is an Aquila clutching two silver lances on a six-petaled cyan rose. Their ships are sky blue, with gold prows and chrome highlights around the weapon ports. {|class="wikitable" |- !Battlegroup !Home Port !Major Ships ! |- |'''Battlegroup Rosella:''' |Port Rosella |''Par Excellence, Saint Castor's Light, Redeemer of Gareox'' |Based at the Sector Naval Headquarters of Port Rosella, Battlegroup Rosella is the zenith of Battlefleet Victorum. The best and most-favored officers are assigned to the oldest of warships here, and it is the desire of all ambitious officers to serve on even the escorts of this force. Rosella's remit is to patrol the starlanes of the Avalonus sub-sector and act as the most potent reserve force in the sector, to turn the tide of war when needed most. |- |'''Battlegroup Resolute:''' |Port Resolute |''Fidelis Exactis, Minotaur, Earl Dandy'' |Perhaps the most important battlegroup in the Sector, Battlegroup Resolute is based at Port Resolute along the Poseidon Run. Charged to protect the sector's most important warp route and all trade along it, as well as keep a watchful eye on the sub-sector's border with the Mylas Cloud. Led by the ancient Oberon-class battleship ''Fidelis Exactis'', Battlegroup Resolute has forged an impressive reputation of faith and loyalty to the Emperor above all. |- |'''Battlegroup Antioch:''' |Port Fury |''Tempest Caller, Templar's Wrath'' |A small fleet stationed at Port Fury in the Mylas system, Battlegroup Antioch is named for the crippled battleship that forms the heart of the station. Its primary duty is to maintain the security and collect the duties of all ships traveling through the warp lanes of the Moloch sub-sector. |- |'''Battlegroup Invictus:''' |Falkenrath |''Omega Mortis, Terra Triumphant, Arc of Judgement, Abyssum Invocat, Fury of Sohan'' |Battlegroup Invictus has the unenviable task of maintaining the Imperial Navy's blockade of the Tytania Cluster. With the fires of rebellion taking root on worlds throughout the region, Invictus has already been forced to battle more than a dozen rebellious warp vessels. Nearly all of them were pilgrim ships hijacked by their fanatical passengers. |} Battlefleet Victorum is divided into several subsector admiralties, each leading a permanent battlegroup of large capital ships. Lesser ships, which make up the bulk of the fleet, operate interchangeably between the various sub-sectors, with ships often serving 5- and 10-year tours of duty on long-established patrol routes. In times of crisis, composite battlegroups are raised from this fleet-at-large, to be lead by a senior captain or admiral aboard a ship seconded from one of the admiralty's permanent battlegroups. In this way, camaraderie between the different admiralties is maintained, and the experiences of captains from far-flung corners of the sector can be brought to bear. ==The Sons of the Dragon== {{Infobox Spess Mahreen Chapter |Name = Sons of the Dragon |Heraldry = [[Image:SonsDragonSigil.jpg|center|144px]] Roaring green dragon head within a six-rayed gold sun. |Battle Cry = ''"We live for Him! We die for His People!"'' |Founding = Fourth Founding |Successors of = [[Salamanders|Imperial Fists]] |Chapter Master = Gurava Lannar |Primarch = [[Vulkan|Rogal Dorn]] |Homeworld = Valotair |Specialty = Siege Warfare |Strength = 650+ Space Marines, 8 strike cruisers, 1 battle barge |Allegiance = [[Imperium of Man]] |Colours = Quartered Caliban green and sunburst yellow }} The Sons of the Dragon have been bound in blood to the people of the Victorum Sector. While they have not always been faithful to the lords of the sector, the Sons have stood faithfully by the innocent, through battles and sieges down the ages. The legends of the Sons say that they were once a crusading chapter, founded in the aftermath of a tremendous war which nearly destroyed the Imperium. For millennia they hunted the enemies of Man through the deep void, brokering strange and distant ties to a half-dozen recruiting worlds, among them Moloch Tetrax/Quintox. Some terrible tragedy brought an end to their trek through the stars, and in their moment of weakness they clasped hands with the Lords of Victorum. In exchange for a grant of lordship over the super-continental feral world of Valotair, they would bind themselves deeply into the fabric of the Victorum Sector. Through the Darkling Wars to the Reign of Blood, the Sons of the Dragon shed their blood for the defence of the sector, always in the name of the Emperor and his people. But their sacrifices were unappreciated, and during the poisoned reign of [[Goge Vandire]], the Sons renounced their oaths of fealty to the unworthy rulers of the Sector, and joined the growing tide of rebellion that swept the Imperium. Deemed pure of heresy in the inquests which followed the Thorian Reformation, the Sons nevertheless placed themselves apart from the sector's masters. In the modern Imperium, the Sons are no longer integrated into the governorship of the Victorum Sector. Their homeworld of Valotair is forbidden to Imperial starships, and no longer are their war councillors seen in the spires of Avalonus. When called to war, the Sons have proven themselves capable of integrating with Imperial Guard and Imperial Navy forces, especially when called upon to act as the decisive spearhead of a fully operation Imperial war machine. At other times, they remain cloistered within their fortress-shrines. Their recruiting worlds are scattered throughout the Imperium, the product of centuries of crusading. Far-flung and isolated, their worlds see a Space Marine perhaps once in a century. Those worlds in the Victorum Sector blessed enough to provide recruits may see aspirants raised as frequently as once a decade, though the Sons' unusual gene-seed requires the most stringent of testing. Beneath their armor, their skin ranges from charcoal black to slate gray. A mutation in their Occulobe has caused them to develop sensitivity to ultraviolet light, allowing them to partially sense the higher wavelengths of the light spectrum. This also causes their eyes to slowly develop a mirror-like sheen as they age, with centuries-old members having mirror-like silver eyes. During their long millennia of crusading, the Sons developed a chapter cult known as The Way of Solar Fire. Inspired by transplanted Promethean beliefs, the Way is similarly self-sacrificing and devoted to the protection of mankind, but places more emphasis on solar rituals and the light of the Emperor as reflected through the Warp. Scattered throughout the sector are fortified temples, acting as both centres of their faith and bastions of mankind. While designed to act as fortresses of last resort, these hidden stockpiles of men and arms also act to promulgate The Way. Should the Inquisition or the Ecclesiarchy ever uncover this fact, unwanted and dangerous questions might be raised. Their homeworld of Valotair is the finest example of this combination of faith and fortification; having once been a forward operating base established by the Salamanders Legion, it retains strong Promethean and Nocturnan themes in its architecture, and served as a template for the Sons' future installations. Home to thousands of scattered tribes of feral, near-abhuman descent, fewer than 1 in 10,000 are fit to be raised in Imperial society, and far fewer fit to be elevated to the Adeptus Astartes. Nevertheless, the Sons of the Dragon cherish their barbaric wards, and the people's wholehearted embrace of the Way of Solar Fire is only one example of the strong bonds forged between them and their god-like overlords. It was for them that the Sons of the Dragon rebelled against the Victorum Sector during the Reign of Blood, and more specifically against the rule of the Temple of the Saviour Emperor and the puppets of Goge Vandire. The Sons of the Dragon possess a large force of [[Dreadnought]] hulls, of various makes and patterns. Each of these hulls is uniquely built and armed according to it's occupant's designs, and no two of them are alike. They also possess a great deal of armored vehicles, primarily [[Rhino|Rhinos]], [[Vindicator|Vindicators]], and [[Whirlwind|Whirlwinds]]. The Sons possess only two [[Land Raider|Land Raiders]], revered as holy relics, but where they came from none can say. Though they possessed at least four Land Raiders at their founding, all were recorded as lost in action. Recent decades have strained the Sons of the Dragon to the limit of their resources. While not overly-depleted in numbers, their feudal obligations to the Imperium have left them vulnerable to the sudden upheavals threatening the peace of the sector. The Sixth Company was despatched with great pomp and ceremony as part of the Victorum Sector's contribution to the Lalladorium Crusade far to the galactic west. The strike cuiser Silver Fire and most of the chapter's Third Company vanished along with Vellagus X during the ill-starred Tech-Suppression. And Eldar raiders appear to have targeted the Sons' Tenth Company specifically during a fierce and bloody slave raid on Geidiheim, piercing multiple layers of planetary security to spirit them away. ==Legio Evincer== <blockquote>'''''“Nullus Vivere!”'''''<small> ''(None Shall Live!)''</small> :''-Legion Motto''</blockquote> {| border="1" align="right" !width="500"|Legio Evincer |- |[[Image:LegioEvincer.jpg|right|100px]] :'''Primary Forge:''' Guanyu :'''Strength:''' Primaris (100+ Titans) :'''Specialization:''' Titan Killing, Artillery Bombardment :'''Commanding Officer:''' Ultima Princeps Lars Rho Valians :'''Famed Battles:''' The Razing of Spire Rabban, The Battle of Naxos-Rho, The Irudine Conspiracy :'''Symbol:''' A trident flanked by two tank treads :'''Colors:''' Green and gold lozengy, azure trim :'''Nickname:''' ''“Blazing Peacocks,” “The Exterminators”'' |} Descended from the Legio Astraman, the '''Legio Evincer''' is a belligerent legion with a preference for crusades and wars of conquest, particularly against xenos life-forms. Founded to protect the nascent forgeworld of Guanyu, the Legio Evincer quickly distinguished itself by purging an Enslaver infestation upon the neighbouring world of Geidiheim with extreme prejudice, obliterating six million souls and an entire hive spire. Since that day, their name has been a byword for devastation and destruction, scouring hundreds of battlefields of all in their path, friend and foe alike. The Levio Evincer has a preference for turbolaser and plasma weaponry, the more destructive and wide-ranging the better. Their preferred strategy is one of targeted annihilation, acting with near surgical precision to completely obliterate their chosen foe and tip battles in the Imperium's favor. This has put them at a disadvantage against the fleet, ghostly god-engines of the cowardly Eldar, who dance through their precisely calibrated fields of fire. Ever prideful, the princeps of the Legio Evincer have attempted to compensate by incorporating powerful logis-engines and geometric calculi in their auxiliary staff, though their bloody defeat at the Siege of the Tenebrous Gate proved such measures were inadequate. The bulk of the Legion's strength is in Warhounds and Warlords, Guanyu lacking the knowledge to produce Reaver-class Titans. While some few have been recovered from the battlefield or given in tribute by grateful forgeworlds, the Legion prefers the more easily produced and maintained modern Titans. Indeed, no Titan within the Legion is more than two millennia old, something of a sore wound for a Legion that has served the Omnissiah since the founding of the sector. ==Legio Delendum== <blockquote>'''''“Fortis Ex Tenebrae.”'''''<small> ''(Strength In Darkness.)''</small> :''-Legion Motto''</blockquote> {| border="1" align="right" !width="500"|Legio Delendum |- |[[Image:LegioDelendum.jpg|right|100px]] :'''Primary Forge:''' Nilumanen :'''Strength:''' Tertius (~50 Titans) :'''Specialization:''' EM Warfare, Close Quarters Combat :'''Commanding Officer:''' Princeps Titanicus Ganet Primar Thothus :'''Famed Battles:''' First Battle of Avalonus, Vigil of Castor, Siege of the Tenebrous Gate :'''Symbol:''' A winged skull within a sharp-toothed brass cog :'''Colors:''' Black and Red :'''Nickname:''' ''“The Black Death,” “Gargoyles”'' |} Believed to be the oldest Titan Legion within the sector, the '''Legio Delendum''' carries both the triumph of ancient victories and the dark infamy of their homeworld with them wherever they stride. In ages past, the Legio Delendum marched alongside the crusades of the Imperium, their Titans renowned for fighting on when all else seemed lost. That glory is long behind them; in these twilight days the Legio Delendum remains bound to the defense of the forgeworlds of the Adeptus Mechanicus, as was their purpose when they were founded in the terrible days of the Age of Strife. Founded on the dust-shrouded world of Nilumanen, the Legio Delendum was first raised to protect the forge from the threat of the Falx Gladocracy. Outnumbered and alone, it was necessary for the legion to learn how to use the disruptive nature of their hideaway to their advantage. Their preferred weapons make up for a lack of accuracy with the application of mass firepower or close-ranged melee weapons, the better to destroy foes blinded by gamma-ray flares, deafened by vox burners, and debilitated by noospheric data-jinxes. As befits so ancient a Legion, the bulk of Delendum's forces are Reaver variants. Warhounds of ancient provenance serve as pickets for Titan maniples, protected by machine-charms from the deleterious effects of the Legion's EM weaponry. The Legion's greatest god-machines, however, are a pair of Imperator Titans. One serves as an eternal guardian of Nilumanen, the forge of their birth. The other is a secret known only to a few, maintained in reserve in the vassal forge of Ixlamad. Still scarred by the wars of the sector's birth, it slumbers to this day, awaiting the call to war. ==Order of the Radiant Spear== <blockquote>''We pray that the God-Emperor, in His Mercy, will empower the faithful and bring light to the True.'' ''We pray that He will bring down the Hand of Chastisement, by the strength of those blessed by His Sight.'' :''-<small>Litany of The Emperor's Wrath, spoken upon the ascension of novitiates to the Order''</small></blockquote> {| border="1" align="right" !width="500"|Order of the Radiant Spear |- |[[Image:RadiantSpearIcon.png|right|100px]] :'''Main Convent:''' Pillar :'''Strength:''' More than 1,200 Sisters of Battle :'''Specialization:''' Shock Assault :'''Canoness Superior:''' Sola XII DeAnnise :'''Famed Battles:''' The Arrakis Crusade, Battle of the Storm, Battle of the Ancient Cathedral :'''Symbol:''' A white fleur-de-lys on a blue flame :'''Colors:''' Silver armor, grey trim and weapons, azure cloak :'''Daughters Of:''' [[Order of the Argent Shroud]] :'''Nickname:''' ''"Spears of the Saints"'' |} During the 38th Millennium, dozens of [[Adepta Sororitas]] were seized by visions of a blazing spear hurled into an orb of stars. Following the call of the Emperor, these Sisters of Battle landed upon the gemworld of Pillar. Fighting now-extinct chthonic xenoforms of that world's endless chasms, the Sisters took shelter in the wreck of a long-lost fane-ship where they found ancient weapons dating to Saint Castor's Crusade, including Her holy spear. With these relics, they broke free of the chasms and returned to the surface. Thus, the '''Order of the Radiant Spear''' was founded upon that broken world, dedicated to the memory of Saint Rosella Castor. The Order of the Radiant Spear holds as its primary purpose the tracking and recovery of relics, whose veracity is ensured by the associated Order of His Limitless Sight. Saint Castor was a vocal proponent of the creed of Imperial Redemption, holding that all the galaxy had once felt the footfall of man and that the greatest devotion one could perform for the Emperor was the recovery of lost elements of humankind, whether they were people, places, or relics. Thus the Sisters of the Radiant Spear attach themselves to far-flung Rogue Trader fleets, Crusades venturing into the outer dark, and Inquisitorial extraction missions, following the Saint's creed to recover all that was once mankind's. Since its founding, the Order has embraced an active interpretation of the Adepta Sororitas' remit. They protect and utilize sacred relics on the field of battle, bearing them to inspire common soldiers or unleashing their divine power upon the heretic and traitor. In keeping with Saint Castor's teachings, they have a disproportionate number of Seraphim and Dominions, to bear overwhelming firepower where necessary to turn the tide of battle. The holiest relic of the order is The Winged Spear of St. Castor, a double-headed power halberd with an unbreakable adamantine shaft emblazoned with the symbols of the Imperial Cult. Legends say the Spear grants the faithful the power to blind machine-senses, reveal the weakness of any armor, and turn the spell of any sorcerer. ==Imperial Guard Regiments== <blockquote> ''“Stand true, you dogs of the Emperor!

Typically heavily-armoured, and armed with a great deal of close combat experience thanks to Avalonus' unique planetary culture, the Crusaders are often used as linebreakers. The regiment favors Melta and Lascannon heavy weapons, and are well-equipped by the forges of Hive Gergenir. |- |- | '''Sagisu Legionnaires''' <small>'''Nickname:''' ''“Back-Breakers”, “Hive-Pounders”'' (18th Legionnaire Artillery), ''“Big Shotz”'' (33rd Abhuman Legionnaires)</small> |<small>A skull wearing a gold helmet with red plume over a black saltire on red field, “Sagisu” scroll below the helmet with the regiment number in gold below</small> | *'''Specialization:''' Line Infantry, Siege Warfare *'''Strength:''' 847 Regiments <small>(395 Infantry, 46 Mechanized Infantry, 123 Artillery, 190 Siege Infantry, 93 Abhuman)</small> *'''Famed Battles:''' <small>The First Battle of Avalonus, The Seven-Star War, The Battle of Sirusburg</small> |One of the oldest Guard regiments in the Sector, the Sagisu Legionnaires have marched beneath the banner of the Imperium since the days of the Great Crusade. Hailing from the overcrowded hiveworld of Sagisu, the Legionnaires have a roll of honor as long as the Avalonian Crusaders, and never fail to remind others of the history borne by their regiment. Their glory has been bought in blood, for millions of Legionnaires have been sacrificed in grinding wars of attrition, but so long as Sagisu births men it shall feed the wars of the Imperium. |- |- |'''Shimmerwelt Heavy Dragoons''' <small>'''Nickname:''' ''“The Steady and True”, “Wobblies”'' (disparaging), ''“Glory Bees”'' (1st Heavy Dragoon) |<small>Flame-wreathed red stallion running on sky-blue field, regiment number underneath in red</small> | *'''Specialization:''' Counter-Insurgency Operations, Tunnel Warfare, Winter Warfare *'''Strength:''' 7 Regiments <small>(7 Mechanized Infantry)</small> *'''Famed Battles:''' <small>The Battle of Heresy Field, Defence of Hill 53</small> |The Shimmerwelt Heavy Dragoons are newly-founded regiments, raised to feed the voracious appetite of the sector’s wars and crusades. The 4th Heavy Dragoons were recently destroyed during the '''Battle of Heresy Field''' on Uraniborg, after breaking in the face of the enemy's zealot engines. The Dragoons hail from a glacial mining world and are well-versed in tunnel fighting and putting down labour rebellions, with a preference for mounting Flamers on their [[Chimera Transport|Chimera]]s and [[Sentinel]]s. |- |- |'''Poseidon Sea Guard''' <small>'''Nickname:''' ''“Seaguards”, “The Blues”, “Seadogs”'' (2nd Sea Guard), ''“Sea Dragons”'' (11th Sea Guard)</small> |<small>Crossed gold tridents on a white shield over a navy blue field, regiment number between the tridents in blue, with the symbolic seabird of the regiment's home hive crowning the shield holding a "Poseidon" scroll in its beak</small> | *'''Specialization:''' Amphibious Assault, Ocean Warfare *'''Strength:''' 35 Regiments <small>(29 Naval, 6 Drop Infantry)</small> *'''Famed Battles:''' <small>Invasion of Ghress Prime, Basilea's Fall, The Battle of Aschbal</small> |A rare example of a regiment specialized for ocean warfare, the Poseidon Sea Guard are often sent out of the sector to serve in distant crusades. The Sea Guard regiments return to their homeworld periodically for resupply and reinforcement, ensuring a constant churn of veterans who supply new recruits with much-needed experience. Heavy Bolters, Rocket Launchers, and Mortars provide man-portable heavy firepower when the Sea Guard operate beyond the range of naval ordnance. |- |- | '''Ixlamad Armoured''' <small>'''Nickname:''' ''“Revenant Engines”'' (1st Armoured), ''“Ironsides”'' (3rd Armoured), ''“Twice Lucky”'' (14th Armoured)</small> |<small>Three red cogwheels bend sinister on a gray field, regiment number in the upper left in High Gothic, lower right in Techna-Lingua</small> | *'''Specialization:''' Armoured Warfare, Hostile Environment Operations *'''Strength:''' 28 Regiments *'''Famed Battles:''' <small>The Seventh Battle of Avalonus, The Liberation of Gathalamor, The Villagus Tech-Suppression</small> | Raised from the wreck-strewn world of Ixlamad, the Ixlamad Armoured is equipped only with vehicles and weapons salvaged by the great pit-cities of their homeworld. Each regiment is a highly eclectic mix of vehicles built in uncounted forges scattered across the Segmentum, returned to duty by the devotion and skill of the Reclamator Magi. Many of their troops are augmented by the Mechanicus, and treat their war machines with as much devotion as any enginseer. |- |- | '''Ganth Eagle Warriors''' <small>'''Nickname:''' ''"Screaming Loonies”'' (1st Regiment), ''“Headbangers”'' (2nd Regiment), ''“Bleeding Maniacs”'' (3rd Regiment), ''“Screechers”'' (disparaging)</small> |<small> The Aquila clutching thunderbolts and arrows, on a bright green field, “Ganth” in thick font above, regiment number in Low Gothic below</small> | *'''Specialization:''' Shock Troops *'''Strength:''' 3 Regiments <small>(Heavy Infantry)</small> *'''Famed Battles:''' <small>The Liberation of Gathalamor, The Seventeen Battles of Novagrad, The Zarona Intervention</small> | Though little regarded by the rest of the sector, Ganth produces some of the fiercest warriors ever to fight beneath the banner of the Imperium. With an unshakeable faith in the Emperor, these brightly-colored warriors charge into battle like berserkers, wielding chainaxes and Flamers with all the zeal of a Redemptionist crusade. |- |- |'''Krydae Void Cataphracts''' <small>'''Nickname:''' ''“Silent Death”''</small> |<small>Yellow roaring lionshead on a black circle on white bullseye on gray, “Krydae” scroll above circle, “Cataphracts” scroll below circle</small> | *'''Specialization:''' Void Assault *'''Strength:''' 1 Regiment *'''Famed Battles:''' <small>The Hunt of the Scarlet Tears, The Battle of Green Noah</small> |Most void regiments are raised as Imperial Navy armsmen, but the Krydae Void Cataphracts are a rare exception. Their home system, the Krydae Field, is a maelstrom of broken worlds and trapped starlight, orbiting a black hole. Preferentially deployed in void assault operations, the Void Cataphracts have broken orbital fortresses, trapped xenos raiders, and taken heretic starships. Their favored special weapons are grenade launchers and meltas, useful within the confines of a void boarding action. |- |- |'''Rana-Tophe Stalkers''' <small>'''Nickname:''' ''“Scalpers”'' (disparaging), ''“Impalers”'' (2nd Stalkers), ''“Vengeful Reapers”'' (3rd Stalkers)</small> |<small>Crossed axes on yellow field with dark green flaunches, “Rana-Tophe” and regiment number on a black bar below</small> | *'''Specialization:''' Fast Attack, Detached Operations, Scouting *'''Strength:''' 5 Regiments <small>(4 Rough Rider, 1 Light Infantry)</small> *'''Famed Battles:''' <small>The Harrowing of Apostate Charles, The Battle of Sinfeld’s Vale, The Eredswar</small> |One of many feral regiments raised within the sector, the Rana-Tophe Stalkers achieved particular infamy for their actions during the Harrowing of Apostate Charles. Roving bands of heretical zealots would be found scalped and spiked among the canyons of Pillar, the victims of Stalker scouting forces protecting the flanks of the Imperial forces. Since then, their brutality and bloodlust have become a byword for unseemly excess within the Guard, their success in the name of the Emperor their only shield from rebuke. Each Stalker is skilled with throwing axe, as is the practice of their homeworld, and these axes often fetch a high price after battle for each is lovingly endowed with devotional scenes and prayers to the Emperor. |- |- | <small></small> |<small></small> | | |- |- |}
