Jungle Tigers of Inem

The **Jungle Tigers of Inem** are the elite Astra Militarum regiments that hail from the verdant jungle death world of Inem. These regiments specialise in recon missions, guerillia warfare and combat in jungles and thanks to the regular fights against non-Hivers from the jungles also in the pacification of primitives. The Jungle Tigers serve faithfully with a well-liked effecients in the name of the Emperor, although most other officers and commissars see them to be too informal and often too lax in their daily duties.

## History

The first recruitment drive of Regiments from Inem happened only 154 years after the colonisation of Inem in M38. Hardened settlers were mixed with veterans from other jungle warfare formations to strenghten local offensives against Eldar Maiden Worlds.

Adepts analysing combat records noted an increase of combat strenght in new Regiments recruited after the Inem jungle wars, were local PDF forces and formations of the Jungle Tigers, intented for the Tithe, fought against the Jungle Folk, the non-Hivers raiding caravans and plantages.

Modern conflicts seeing them involved were the Tyranid invasion of Jepson III, the insurrection of human auxiliaries in the Mu`lu Sept or the deathly campaigns on Kryson Theta.

## Notable Campaigns

* **Inem Jungle Wars (M38):** A series of conflicts against the non-Hivers living in Inems jungles. The fighting involved the local PDF and Regiments intented for the next Tithe. Both sides used aggressive scouting operations and lightning fast operations to fight against each other.
* **Insurrection in the Mu`lu Sept (807-810.M41):** A taskforce of three Regiments took part in the support of the rebellion of human auxiliaries of the Mu`lu Sept of the Tau Empire. Tau forces used drones to scout out and fight human positions while human snipers used assassination tactics and mines to break up coordinated Tau movements.
* **Tyranid Invasion of Jepson III (997.M41):** Forces of the Jungle Tigers of Inem took part in combat against Tyranids when they invaded the Frontier World of Jepson III. Heavy fights against Lictors and vanguard creatures costed them 5 Companies worth of soldiers.

## Homeworld

Inem is a civilised jungle World in the Leman Sector and is a main producer of medicine.
