	In Rosskar's past, before Alexandri came to power the Vityaz were a noble elite who ruled with an iron first over the populace of Rosskar. With Alexandri's ascension, the aristocracy was gradually integrated into society at large. The remnants of their influence remain still with suits of their prestigious power armor. Officers in the Strelky can sometimes to be seen wearing these ornate suits into battle, gilded with finery and still as deadly when they were first forged in the Dark Age of Technology. The Tech-Priests of [[Kyuw]] have produce replacement parts based on recreations of the basic Vityaz design. This has allowed its continued use in the field perpetually, so long as the suit is never fully lost.

	The Strelky used a wide variety of weaponry throughout their existence, owing much to their bloated size greatly beyond any one world's means to sufficiently arm. Much less even a Sector's. Due to equipment shortages, any material that could be seized after a battle usually was immediately jumped upon. Some standardization did exist in the form of the Rosskan-pattern lasgun though. This weapon was designed to be capable of firing powerful bolts, only being able to expend ten shots per magazine charge. Other versions of the weapon were known to have the same output with a bulkier magazine, that could hold up to thirty shots. It was prone to explosion at random times for seemingly no reason, leading for most soldiers to fear. It was dubbed the 'Crackle' by troops for the sound it made upon explosion.

	It was believed through concentrated, concerted fire with stronger than normal lasgun bolts the Strelky would be capable through sheer numbers able to take foes comparable to Astartes. This prediction did not always hold true, but it certainly gave them an edge when they were forced to combat actual Space Marines.

	~~Having to deal with~~ the ~~wastrels from compliant~~ worlds, ~~the prisons~~ and ~~slums of Hive Worlds emptied their human refuse~~ to ~~the Silver Cataphracts Expedition Fleets~~. ~~Some worlds gave up even more volunteers, sometimes those who came~~ of ~~age after~~ the ~~tithe and could not wait for~~ the ~~next time their~~ world ~~was to give troops to the Imperial Army~~. ~~Whatever~~ the ~~case, the training was~~ the ~~same. Sleeping on beds of ice, being shouted at by tall men~~ in ~~black armor all day and night, fed gruel from tubes and clothed in sacks~~ of ~~cloth~~. ~~Training did not begin until the trainers themselves had both taught the recruit the Rosskan dialect to the point of fluency~~, ~~and that they were sure they were entire loyal to Rosskar~~.		The Rosskan Strelky for lack of a better term, is a slave army. It is constituted primarily of prisoners from the various worlds of the [[Kuzgeta Defense Sphere\|Kuzgeta Sector]]. To bring such a diverse, and dangerous population to heel they are first broken. Long periods of time are spent making sure that 'Batches' of ten Strelky recruits are isolated from the rest of the world. These Batches are finally 'Hatched' when the Discipline Master has determined little remains of the original person in each member of the Batch. If after six months there is no considerable progress made with a Batch towards this goal, it is purged.


	~~Recruits were trained in blocks of ten~~, ~~sometimes with~~ the ~~tenth being a plant. They would go through every hardship~~ the ~~squad would suffer, listening in for any attempt at revolt or escape~~. ~~Those who would speak up found themselves suffering under~~ the ~~whip~~ the ~~next day~~, ~~or worse~~, ~~having~~ their ~~head cleaned from their body~~. ~~If one went with~~ the training ~~however silently~~, the ~~harsh period would pass~~. ~~Proper bedding would be given~~, the ~~quality of food would improve dramatically~~, and ~~far more fitting clothing would be received~~. ~~This is the~~ first ~~step in the conditioning process~~. ~~Disloyalty is punished without remorse~~, ~~loyalty is rewarded heartily. After the weeding out of the weak~~, ~~or the unwilling, came the actual education in soldiery~~.		Upon a Hatching, the newly formed Strelky are admitted into the harsh atmosphere of their regiment. Here the guiding hand of the Discipline Officers is removed, who had been previously guiding their lives with rigid schedules and rules. Now in this confusing environment, they are faced with apathy at every turn by their fellow comrades. This too is part of the Strelky training, as it slowly erodes at the sense of self even more. Before even their first deployment, the Strelky recruits feel increasingly isolated, and alone, save for their Batchmates. However, after surviving their first battle these Recruits are accepted as Privates. Or, as their comrades will call them, Droogs.

			The Droog is the complete Strelky, the final product. The Droog is expected to form the backbone of the regiment, follow orders to the letter, and report on any suspicious activity to Discipline Masters. These men and women are usually what is propagandized about the Strelky, as they are the fatalistic heart that keeps a regiment from retreating even when facing certain death.

	~~When~~ the ~~zenith~~ of Strelky ~~population soared at the end~~ of the ~~Heresy~~, to ~~twenty billion~~. The ~~already arising culture fully flourished in~~ this ~~time~~.

The Rosskan Strelky is formed from parts of military tradition and penal battalions. It is not a prisoner army, yet is operated akin to one. One may volunteer into the Strelky, but he will not be treated any different from a man sentenced into service. Each of them most be broken down from what they are, into who they must become. The Strelky are very blunt on average possessing no subtly to themselves. They are largely realists, not falling into optimism or pessimism. Many have become reclusive in personality, introverted save for those few members of the regiment they can regard as friends. Most Strelky form attachments to their immediate platoon, not their squad, as the risk of losing your entire squad is too high to invest significantly into emotionally for a soldier.

			The Strelky are expected by their officers to have several hobbies and pursuits. To most, this is training but others have been known to have skills ranging from woodcrafting to poetry. Most in the Strelky become tattoo artists to keep the underground expression of soldiers alive. These men were usually given rations and favors from their fellow soldiers in return for their ink work. To those with the ability and ambition, they normally became tattoo artists.

			====Tattos====
			No soldier, from the lowest Recruit to the highest officer, was allowed to wear battle honors. Alexandri despised the use of medals or ribbons, refusing to allow the Strelky to wear any livery at all. The spartan appearance of the Strelky uniform betrays the sophisticated artistry worn on the skin of every member. Since the tattoos were hidden unless their clothing was taken off, the Primarch either did not care or failed to notice the thriving system of symbols and signs in use by the Strelky to denote achievements and social status.

			'''Hollow Teeth''' - This pattern is a design of the teeth over the lips, creating a partial skull look. This was to denote Strelky known as "Biters", who would use their nails and mouths in combat.

			'''Barbed Wire''' - This pattern is lines of barbed wire that cover over the dominant forearm. Each spike along the wire represented a year spent in service in the Strelky.

			'''Five Coins''' - This pattern is five coins, each with a different head of a Rosskan King, with Alexandri at the top. This is normally placed on the shoulders. It represents the crime of counterfeiting or embezzlement.

			'''A Cracked Crown''' - This pattern is the standard Rosskan crown broken down the middle. This is usually placed on the chest. It represents discontent with Alexandri's rule, and the Imperium.

			'''Squinting Eyes''' - This pattern is a pair of eyes that are squinting, as if looking at something far away. This is usally placed on the belly. It expresses a soldier's willingness to engage in sexual activity.

			'''Made in Rosskar''' - This is text normally placed above the thigh. It expresses the current state of the homeworld. The planet name is normally changed depending upon homeworld.

			'''I Will Not Betray''' - This text is normally placed on the back. It expresses desire to remain true to religious beliefs.

			'''A Laughing Skull''' - This pattern is placed at the back of the head always. It expresses the desire to refuse any work not necessary or directly ordered of the soldier.

			'''A Bleeding Knife''' - This pattern is placed anywhere on the body that is visible while in uniform. It represents that this soldier has murdered another Strelky, and is willing to be hired to murder others. Officers tolerate these soldiers, as they can relied upon to silence other voices in a regiment.

			'''Finger Tattoos''' - This refers to text placed on the skin facing inward on the digits of a hand. The text is usually acronyms, names of loved ones, or nicknames.

			'''Angel Wings''' - This pattern is a set of feather wings always placed on the back. These note that this soldier has managed to kill an Astartes single handedly. Variants include only one wing, noting a soldier took part in killing an Astartes.

	~~===Tattos===~~		'''Bullets''' - This pattern is a set of Boltgun Shells or Autogun rounds that are arrayed around the neck. It is a statement by the prisoner that only death will set him free.
