-Tactical Genius
-Lifetime of experience in waging war against the servants of Chaos
-Inspiring Leader
Planet of Origin:Segin
A living Legend on Segin, and with an Impressive Service Record, Sharp commands the 13th Segin since almost fifty years, and even with his 113 years of service, he is far from retiring. Serving his way up the ranks, he was promoted to the rank of Lieutenant for extraordinary bravery, as he saved of a leading general during the Echo-Campaign. Finding himself as his new protege Viclo soon would replace his Platoon with a Company, and serve as a Captain during the later stages of the war. The oldest living member in the whole of the company, some say that his Iron will is the reason for his long life. True or not, he still displays his Iron in battle, and insists on leading from the front. Still, his age, and a butchered Rejuvenate Treatments take their toll on his body, and he isnt the warrior he used to be back in his days.


Name:Senior Commissar Rembrash val Kepp
Age:39
Faction:Imperial Guard/Commissariat
Rank and Force Type:Senior Commissar/Light Infantry Regiment
Primary Skills:
-Iron Will and Body
-Can Inspire or enforce Bravery
-Capable Fighter
Planet of Origin:Malfi
The Segin spirit and the independent way of thinking of these people have lead quite a few problems with the Enforcers of Imperial Loyalty. More then one Commissar has fallen Victim to a "Tragic" accident beyond enemy lines. Others are "turned", and embrace the "Segin" way of war, becoming pragmatists themself. 
Rembrash himself was send with the Stormtrooper detachment to act as the Senior-Commissar, and to make sure that no further "accidents" take place. A grim and humorless man, he has shown more then once, that exemplary executions are his was of enforcing the emperors will. Lucky are the ones who simply get off with a Flogging.


Name:2nd Lieutenant Jesaya "Toasty" Costa
Age:29
Faction:Imperial Guard/13th Segin Rangers
Rank and Force Type:2nd Lieutenant/Light Infantry Regiment
Primary Skills:
-Stealth
-Close Combat 
-Ranged Combat
-Demolition
Planet of Origin:Segin
It needs a special kind of man to hunt Orks and a special kind of crazy to enjoy it. Jesaya is that kind of man, and that kind of crazy. Running away from his parents Farm at the age of thirteen, he joined a band of hunters, who got a good bounty for every Ork head they brought in. In an fair fight in close distance, a human is no match for an orc, yet the Segin people had a lot of time to perfect the art of Ork-Hunting. And even among these skilled people are those who become true masters of the art. Jesaya became such a master, before he came of age. Earning enough to buy himself his own part of land, he instead used the money for one week of endless drinking, whoring and gambling, and ended up without a single coin. Seeing it as the Emperor´s way of punishment, he instead joined the PDF, and was selected to join the 13th. 
Losing his cocky arrogant ways after his first taste of battle, he displayed great courage during the Rebellion, and soon reached the Rank of Sergeant.
It was during a raid on an enemy Fuel storage, that he and his section found itself surrounded and outnumbered. Having his orders, he commanded his men to make a run for it, while he would cover up their retreat by blowing up the complex. In the promethium fueled fire a whole enemy company found its end, yet as the Rangers took the ruins of the complex, they found a badly burned, yet still breathing Costa. Waking up, he told about a Vision from the Emperor himself, and that he wasnt done with him yet.
Promoted into the Rank of an 2nd Lieutenant, and with his own Veteran-Platoon, he is driven by the desire to proof himself worthy of this second chance.

"Let us be the last thing they shall never see!" Common saying of the Segin-Rangers  

The Segin Rangers are a Force specialized in Operations beyond enemy lines, Long-range Raids and Guerrilla Warfare. Preferring the Lascarbine over its heavier brother, the Las-gun, mobility is seen above armor. As such the Flak-armor has been cut down to grant the wearer the best possible mobility. This of cause has dropped the protection value of the armor, yet this is a sacrifice the Rangers are willing to make. 

Special weapons and Heavy weapons arent used as much as in other regiments, at least on the paper. Stealing or "borrowing" from other Regiments and Imperial assets has become virtue of the 13th, and the officers turn a blind eye to any "found" equipment that the soldiers might come up with. After all, few ask for the origin of an flamer when the unit is about to attack an bunker. 

Ranger Platoon - (6 Rifle Sections, 3 Support Section and 1 Platoon Command) - [65 Soldiers]
Rifle Section - (5 Rangers with Vox[Armed with Mk.II Lascarbine],Corporal or Sergeant[Armed with a Mk.IV Lasgun]) - [5 Soldiers]
Support Section - (3 Heavy Weapons [2 men each,Rocket-launcher/Mortar/Heavy Stubber], 4 Specialists[Flamer/Grenadel Launcher]) - [10 Soldiers]
Platoon Command - (Lieutenant[Personal Choice of weapon], Vox, Medic[Both Armed with Mk.II Lascarbine], 2 Specialists[Flamer/Grenadel Launcher]) - [5 Solders)

Ranger Company - (1 Company Command, 5 Ranger Platoons, 1 Veteran-Ranger Platoon, 3 Scout Sections) - [430 Soldiers]
Company Command - (Captain[Personal Choice of weapons], Vox, Medic[Both Armed with Mk.II Lascarbine], 7 Veteran-Specialists[Flamer/Grenadel Launcher/Melter/Plasma-gun]) - [10 Soldiers]
Scout Section - (2 Snipers[Armed with Mk.III Long Lasrifles], 2 Spotters[Armed with Mk.II Lascarbine] and 6 Rangers, Vox[Armed with a Mk.IV Lasgun]) - [10 Soldiers]

Light Infantry Regiment - (20 Infantry Companies and Regimental Command) - [8.610 Soldiers]
Regimental Command - (Colonel Viclo "Iron Smirk" Sharp, Commissar Garusso, Primaris Psyker Ragnar (Biomancy), Regimental Banner, Vox, Medic, 4 Veterans) - [10 Soldiers]

*Segin Scouts serve as long-range Recon, as well as sniper support. 
**Veteran Platoons and Sections are identical in layout to normal infantry sections/platoons at least on the paper of the Adeptus Munitorum. Truth is that the Veterans often "Borrow" Equipment from other Regiments, or use other means to acquire their needed tools of destruction. Trained in the art of Infiltration and Commando Operations, they are seen as the elite of the Segin army, and the fist of the 13th´s.

The 13th has a history of working at High-risk operations against the enemies of the empire. Proofing themselves to be worthy of the attention of the Adeptus Munitorum, Colonel Viclo had to call in a lot of all the favors that he had earned in his life, to be granted an Stormtrooper Detachment. Despised by the common Segin Ranger as "Glory Boys" or "Toy Soldiers", he knows about their worth, and has his reasons to request their presence in the coming Crusade.

Stormtrooper Detachment - (6 MT Platoons, 1 MT Command) - [191 Soldiers]
Stormtrooper Command Squad - (Medic,ST-Captain,Vox, 2 Special Weapons) [5 Soldiers]
Stormtrooper Platoon - (3 Stormtrooper Fireteams, 1 ST-Lieutenant[Acting Commander of the Platoon]) - [31 Soldiers]
Stormtrooper Fireteam - (10 Troopers, ST-Sergeant, 2 special Weapons,Vox) - [10 Soldiers]

Listed here are the people who are basically notable support staff. Their work is generally less about going to the front and more about ensuring that the regiment stays motivated, dutiful, equipped and in fighting condition. They tend to float about to whatever company or platoon are in need of their services.

Regimental Staff/Advisors*
10 Commissars
30 Priests

QC's Staff**
9 Engineseers
30 Mechanicus Servitors
21 Field Chirurgeons
13 Medicae Servitors
20 Sister Hospitalis, Order of the Burning Rose


*List does not include administrative and miscellaneous staff such as Scribes, Logisticians, Cooks, etc.
**The QC's Staff is primarily a back line unit, operating out of field hospitals and small tech shrines, while capable of defending themselves, should they be in open combat, its a sign something has generally gone wrong.


-=+[  Vehicles  ]+=-

The vast plains of Segin are harsh and unforgiving, and hold an resilent Orc Population as well. Lacking the means to produce tanks, or the Infrastructure to quickly move Infantry, the Segin people have adapted to this kind of war by using what few Vehicles they could produce to a full extent. Highly mobile, the Vehicles of the 13th are further stripped down in armor, to make room for fuel and to reduce weight. 

While the Recon/Reaction Detachment has it´s own fixed Crew, with years of experience under their belt, the Light Transport has no crew. Instead each Ranger is expected to know how to drive and maintain the proper rituals to the Machine God to keep the Vehicles running. During a long range-raid, each Rifle-section is granted a Jeep, while the support Sections are split up between the remaining seats. It is no secret that many of the Vehicles also have "Borrowed" Equipment on them, yet hidden well enough that it takes quite an inquisitive Inspector to find it. 

During the Echo-Campaign, the Segin Rangers were supported by Navy-Assets for the first time. This union turned out to be extremely efficient, and the lacking Firepower of the Rangers could easily be provided with the Air-support of the navy. While de-jure still part of the Navy, the Aeronautica and its Crew have began to display a growing Loyalty to the Regiment. Under the Supervision of 1st Lieutenant  Lyn Gro´Vas, the coming  Crusade will show, if the Joint Operation will again turn out to be a success.       
Recon/Reaction

-=+[  History  ]+=-

The Origin of the 13th lie in the time of the Echo Rebellion. Recruited from men who had lost their Families to the Traitors of their Home System, eager to take the fight to them, it was easy to find enough men for fifteen regiments. Leaving their Homeworld behind, the Regiment was send from one Meat-grinder to the next, suffering horrific casualties yet never brought any shame over itself. 

Serving through the whole Echo-Rebellion, the 13th has an history of fighting Traitors, and the servants of Chaos. Not a heretic rebellion at first, the secessionists grew more desperate over time, and fell to the promises of Chaos. The horrors of war soon grew to true, warp-born Nightmares. Each world took an bigger tribute in blood and lives to take, and what was seen as a short campaign to enforce Imperial Justice over a world of Traitors, turned into a sector-wide war. Sons grew up on Segin, never knowing their fathers, to be drafted into the Guard. They would fall, or grow old in war, only to see their own children take up the rifles from their hands. Seven times the 13th was wiped out, and eight times the flag of the smiling Skull was taken from the field of battle, to be brought back to Segin, as the Regiment was recreated. 
An unknown world at first, the People of Segin soon won the respect of other Regiments fighting in the war, and even Astartes couldnt deny their "mortal" bravery. 
The 13th that takes part on this crusade is combat proven, and has just been transferred from a operation to crush the last hold-outs of the Echo-rebels. The servants of Chaos are an old enemy, and next to the Orks, the most hated enemies of the Segin people.

Planet of Origin:Dis
Born as the third Son of the third most powerful house in the sector, Vane grew up with the luxuries only a fraction of humanity can take for granted. Yet from a young age, an ambition grew inside him, that turned out to be a blessing and a curse at the same time. While it drove him to great highs in improving himself, it also turned out to turn him bitter and jealous. Not entitled to become the prime heir for his fathers lands and titles, he instead pursued a military career. Yet as the choosing for the regiments of the PDF came, that Dis would offer as its Tribute, he found himself not on the list of the picked officers. Enraged, he demanded a duel from one of the picked, lowborn officers. Little did he knew that the man he picked was a hardened Veteran of countless gang-wars. The duel lasted for three minutes, and would leave Vane terrible disfigured. Making a laughing stock out of himself, he left Dis to the Throne-world of Celestine V. While he lacked the skills of an warrior, he was indeed quite a capable courtier, and spend the next 150 years working his way up. Soon he would find himself in the Governors Favor, and would become one of his personal Enforcer of Rule in the sector. Soon his name would be feared , as he became a butcher of countless, lowborn and noble alike. Everyone who stood against Ravenstein would soon face the Iron boot of his "Bloodhound". Yet, now with the Invasion at hand, and his home-world and family gone, many would mistake this for a horrific catastrophe. Yet Vane knows when an opportunity opens! Buying himself a Generals Rank, paying in Money and Favors, he then took command of four newly found Regiments of Penal Troopers. Finally feeling close to the power he desires, he has higher ambitions now, as he dreams of becoming the new ruler of Dis himself...or the Subsector, should Ravenstein die during the defense.

-Tough and capable Fighter
-Merciless leader
-Cunning Instincts
Planet of Origin:Pontius Secundus
Ravenstein´s Rule never was as solid as he would have his subjects believe, and as such, he was in desperate need of a cadre of enforcers to secure his position. The Blackcoats would serve this goal, with an undying loyalty to Ravenstein, von Deuchbaug...and then the emperor. 
Picked from the streets as young orphan, Hammon was raised in an training camp to become a true Blackcoat. Drilled and Brainwashed, he soon would become a loyal Tool to enforce the Governors Rule of the Subsector. Send out, he would take part in brutal Campaigns to crush rebellions, punish unruly Nobles, and strike Terror into the hearts of the sub-sectors enemies. Now, with the great defensive war at hand, he and the other Blackcoats are dispatched to serve as enforcers in the remaning PDF, especially in the newley found Penal Legions. Cold and Efficent, the newly appointed Captain Hammon will get the job done...like always.

Age:23
Faction:10th Redemption Legion
Rank and Force Type:Penal-Trooper/Penal Legion
Primary Skills:
-Fearless psychopath 
-Close Combat
-Ranged Combat
-Demolition
Planet of Origin:Dis
Born in a darkest Underhive, the man that would become 101-Delta, was sold by his mother for another shot of "Black Ink" before he even learned to talk. Sold to a street Doc, he soon was turned into a Guinea pig for all kinds of combat-drugs. Close to death countless times before he was ten years old, he found his chains unlocked one night and beat his captor to death, before escaping into the middle hive. Before he was fifteen he had killed more men then he could count, and before he was twenty he had turned into the best assassin in the whole middle hive of Dis. Leaving a trail of bodies behind, he found himself bored to be contained in a single hive, and looked for other "hunting" grounds. Traveling through the whole Sub-sector, he found himself on the wrong side of a Black-coat shotgun, and was arrested. Yet his death penalty was suspended, and instead he was simply send into one of the countless overcrowded prisons of the sub-sector. And while many feared the first taste of battle, as they were driven into the shuttles, and got a collar snapped around their neck, he couldnt wait for it.

"Lisen up, Scum! This Objective will be taken! I dont care how much of you meatbags die in the process, you will push on! Any man i see stopping, will die! So take a good grip on your collar, and remember that there is only one way, forward!" Handler Jackson, moments before the retaking of Hill 12 

With war coming to the sub-sector, unlike any before, any source of manpower has to be drained. Every Prison in the Sub-sector has been emptied, and each able man has been drafted into the "Redemption Legions". Each soldier has an massive metal collar around his neck, with an explosive load to blow the head off, should the soldier try to disobey an order. Armed with Spare Las-rifles, and little to no armor, these men are little more then cannon fodder, to be send in waves into the meat-grinder.

The Handlers are mostly former Prison wardens, ex-PDF members, or simply Thugs who were considered Loyal enough to lead the men into battle. Armored in Flak, with a shock-baton and a Laspistol, they also have an detonator, which can be used to set of one, or all collars in a Section.

Other members of the Legion are PDF Members of regiments who were loyal to Ravenstein, but who´s regiments had suffered to many casualties to remain in active service. Serving in the "Block" Sections, or as officers, they are motivated by the promise of privileges, high-risk pay, and intimidated, by the Blackcoats.

Before the Invasion, the Blackcoats served as the secret police and army of Lord Governor Konrad von Ravenstein. Formed and lead by Eugen Julus Ernst von Dagmar-Regen, they were the iron boot of the Governor to crush any rebellious thought against Ravensteins rule. Purges of Political Enemies, Atrocities committed against civilians and acts of pure terror were their daily service to the stability of the Sub-sector. 
Yet with the Sub-sector at war, and an open rebellion on Dis, they were directly integrated in the PDF, at least on paper. Serving as something quite similar to a regular Commissar, the Imperial Authorities frown upon their presence, yet accept it, at least for now. Dispised by the regular troops as "A poor mans Commissar" their loyalty lies first with Konrad von Ravenstein, then Eugen Julus Ernst von Dagmar-Regen and then the Emperor!
