Acting purely out of a hunch (and knowing full well the consequences if he was wrong), he ordered his troops to search for certain signs and markers, just as his father had taught him as a young hunter. Readily enough, the signs of Eldar activity were discovered, and the saboteurs were tracked and caught completely unaware.

	Eventually, an Eldar contingency - intrigued by the activation of an ancient and strategically-unimportant webway gate - investigated the planet under cover of night for several weeks. They began dropping markers and signs for the huntsmen to follow, letting them set up killzones and strike back against their harassers, even with their limited weaponry. The tribesmen who caught glimpses of the Eldar began treating them as "good spirits", with the Dark Eldar as "bad spirits" - or the "Obe" and the "Eah". Psykers, who became community leaders and healers, would be able to sense when the Eldar were close due to their psychic signatures, but not their cousins, causing all form of superstitious malcontent.

	During these seemingly endless skirmishes, the warp storm began to wane, pockets of open space opening between the warp energies. While unstable at first, it took only days after the first opening for it to almost completely clear. The rest of the sector had been long-claimed by the Imperium by this point and had been awaiting whatever dangers lay behind ~~Sauriston~~'s skies with baited breath. Fifteen regiments of the People's Army of Hu'lan dropped straight down and began mapping out the planet, surprising all inhabitants. The tribes-people were awestruck by the task force, swearing fealty to the Emperor once again as the huge amount of infantrymen cleared vast amount of jungle to make way for their armoured columns. General Jyung thought them nothing more than savages, but used the knowledge they had been ironically given by the Eldar to track down and obliterate the webway gate while all of the forces were scattered by this sudden development. All Eldar - regardless of their affiliation were soon trapped on the planet - were ruthlessly hunted down, though rumours abound that some roam its jungles to this day.

	Some of the groups became lost to the jungle; others, who had found the supplies jettisoned years earlier, eventually managed to get to habitable places and thrived; others still lived the life of nomads, becoming fierce warriors and hunters, even managing to tame the ferocious creatures that roamed the jungles and use them as mounts. Even as this went on and continued for hundreds of years, ~~tribesfolk~~ eventually began to start going missing. At first, this was blamed on the local wildlife.

A constant stream of under-equipped humans with which they could milk like cattle for an extended period fit well within their objective of raising their status within the city, and so for an extended portion of Sauristoni's history they were subject to screaming jetbikes screaming through the jungle trees and raiding their settlements.		Having activated an ancient webway gate that lay dormant on the planet, Dark Eldar raiders had entered the settlers and found that they liked what they saw.

	Eventually, an Eldar contingency - intrigued by the activation of an ancient and strategically-unimportant webway gate - investigated the planet under cover of night for several weeks. They began dropping markers and signs for the huntsmen to follow, letting them set up killzones and strike back against their harassers, even with their limited weaponry. The tribesmen who caught glimpses of the Eldar began treating them as "good spirits", with the Dark Eldar as "bad spirits" - or the "Obe" and the "Eah". Psykers, who became community leaders and healers, would be able to sense when the Eldar were close due to their psychic signatures, but not their cousins, causing all form of superstitious malcontent.

	During these seemingly endless skirmishes, the warp storm began to wane, pockets of open space opening between the warp energies. While unstable at first, it took only days after the first opening for it to almost completely clear. The rest of the sector had been long-reclaimed by this point and awaiting whatever dangers lay behind Suariston's skies with baited breath. fifteen regiments of the People's Army of Hu'lan dropped straight down and began mapping out the planet, surprising all inhabitants. The ~~tribespeople~~ were awestruck by the task force, swearing fealty to the Emperor once again. General Jyung thought them nothing more than savages, but used the knowledge they had been ironically given by the Eldar to track down and obliterate the webway gate while all of the forces were scattered. All Eldar, regardless of their affiliation were soon trapped on the planet, with rumours abound that some roam its jungles to this day.

	The planet was soon cracked down upon by missionaries from the Ecclesiarchy, many of its superstitions squashed in barely any time at all as the only things close to gods that they had ever known were thoroughly routed by the soldiers of the Imperium.

	They mobilise only with light vehicles, preferring to stay on the move with Chimeras and Scout Sentinels. They also have light calvary forces riding a fast and agile dinosaur-like creature from their home planet which are used for lightning raids, scouting, setting up traps, and luring enemies into traps and aforementioned killzones.

	The bog-standard Guardsman wears a flackvest, accented by tribal decoration and tanned skins. Many also employ the use of cameoline cloaks for protection from enemy sight while in cover. Their veterans are often easily picked out from amongst the average soldiers by the white skull ~~facepaint~~ that they wear, as well as the scarring which they proudly display.

	Their name comes from one particular incident in which the 2nd Sauristoni were serving alongside the 25th Praetorian Guard. Both regiments were engaged in fighting orks in a drawn-out campaign on the planet Ferrigal when the Sauristoni commander (one Colonel Kingston) deduced that the orks were far too unimaginative to be destroying their emplacements so deep into their lines, causing many long delays.
