A soldier of the 10th Dragentian Dragon Guard

The **Dragentian Dragon Guard** is an Imperial Guard regiment from the imperial planet Dragentian. These proud regiments have distinguished themselves more than once through the stoic use of flamethrowers against their enemies. In addition to their affinity for flame-based weapons and war tactics, they are also distinguished by their fierce loyalty, their unwavering sense of duty, and their high value for honor. There have often been enemies who believed themselves safe and invincible behind their might. Realize that these cannot protect them from the devastating flamethrowers of the Dragentian Dragon Guard. Even her open and flaming grave was spared. Which the soldiers of the Dragentian Dragon Guard have chosen for their enemies.

## History

The first Dragentian Dragon Guard regiments were founded shortly before the Horus Heresy, so they were still proving their worth more than evident during this cruel part of imperial history. And so they were used in the bloodiest battles of the time, such as the Siege of Terra, the 300-day Battle of Jova Numeris, or the conflict over Garam Hyperan, and proved themselves to be valuable and capable soldiers.

Over the next 10,000 years, they fought in many important battles. Like the 4th Battle of Fartim Daleum where they burned the rebels in hundreds of battles. Or in the countless battles they fought against renegade Imperial Guard regiments who had turned away from the light of the God-Emperor. But Xenos also faced their righteous wrath and felt the destructive effects of their flamethrowers. In particular, the endless masses of filthy Orks and the disgusting Tyranids have often suffered from these two things to their chagrin and the joy of humanity.

## Notable Campaigns

* **4th Battle of Fartim Daleum (893-916.M37):** In the 4th Battle of Fartim Daleum, 200 Dragentian Dragon Guard regiments fought against rebellious PDF units that wanted to escape the planet from the benevolent hands of the Imperium. Facing a superior force of 1:13, the proud Dragentian regiments burned their enemies in hundreds of battles.

## Homeworld

Dragentian is a highly industrialized hive world. Millions of tons of military and civilian goods are produced every day. The never-sleeping factories are run with the labor of workers threatened with violence. This leads to constant uprisings and the constant presence of extremely violent rebel factions in Dragentia.

These rebel factions are hunted down and wiped out by the PDF regiments of the Dragontian Dragon Guard. As a rule, the anti-rebel actions look like this: the Dragon Guard tracks down the rebels and destroys them before they can even touch the important factories with their fingers

## Recruitment

The soldiers of the Dragontian Dragon Guard are recruited from factory workers who have proven to be extremely loyal. This can be expressed through overfulfillment of work quotas, reports of rebellious activities, particular religion or the voluntary defense of one's factory. The recruits are then subjected to a 4-month basic training program. Once you've survived that, you'll compete against captured rebels in practice battles for 8 months. In which they compete with live ammunition against the captured rebels, who are now being used for training purposes.
