(To be added)

The **24th Eowian Hawks** are one of the Tempestus Scions Regiments in the Leman Sector. Like 70% of all regional recruited Tempestus Scions units were they raised on the Fortress World and proto-Hive World of Eowia, which is dominated by the Schola Progenium. Unlike other special forces seek the 24th Eowian Hawks the active confrontation with large enemy formations. Because they were made for this. They use jetbacks to fly over enemies in dramatic and daring maneuvres while shooting and releasing chemical weapons killing scores of enemies in minutes. In special situation use their weapon specialists even biological weapons, capable in killing even the superhuman Astartes, although they have still a higher survival rate than other creatures and normal humans.

## Notable Campaigns and Missions

* **Doom of Klein Room (unknown.M41):** On a Mining World of in the Leman Sector arose once a dangerous mutant cult called the "True Humans" in the Hive City with the strange name of Klein Room. The propaganda of the mutants painted them as the next step of human evolution and as superior. Their superority in poison resistance was extremly overrated.
* **Operation Leopold (477-478.M41):** A strike force of the 24th used their air mobility to hunt down a insurgenc on the Mining World of VII-9. During the siege lifting of the besieged mining facility Gil-7 was Strike Team Abyss able to identify and neutralise the leader of the insurgance a rouge Inquisitorial Adept. With the death of the commanding terrorist broke the insurgance up into smaller groups who were hunted down by the PDF.
* **Operation Richter Theter (599.M41):** A Task Force of the 24th Eowian Hawks harassed groups of Drukaris belonging to the Kabal of the Glimmering Dagger. The only major confrontation between both groups was an early discovered sabotage attempt on the Drukari field camp. Scion Goronzales self-sacrefise with a plasma bomb allowed the group to neutralise the targeted structures and then to escape in the chaos of the aftermath.
* **Operation Trecker (001.M42):** Members of the 2nd Operation Group took part in the fighting against Tyranids on the World of Zydis Tetis where two Bioships crashed down after the Sector`s Battlefleet ambushed a small Splinter Fleet which had been ravaged by Hive Fleet Hydra.

## Homeworld

Eowia is a Fortress World now slowly turned into a Hive World in the Leman Sector. One of its most remakable aspects is the major presence of the Schola Progenium, the imperial organisation for orphans of fallen imperial soldiers. Another famouse aspect are many dams holding back billion tons of water. The stored water is later used as a weapon against invaders and will be in the future serve as water source for billions of people, granting a higer "quality of live".

The recruitment centres for Tempestus Scions are filled by the veterans from the Regiments in the Leman Sector, which means that the tern Homeworld wouldn`t be that correct in a more stricter seens.

## Tactic

The 24th Eowian Hawks are known for their liberal use of chemical weapons - especially their Condender Strike Teams. Other special weapons are biological weapons and special plasma charges for special situations. Traditionally attack the Eowian Hawks the enemy weakpoints with a mix of Vendetta support and chemical weapons. Enemy strongpoints are normally sabotaged with plasma charges or chemical weapons. In case of siege lifting operation are grenades used who carry biological weapons to weaken the enemy siege lines secretly and without the risk of getting discovered.

An important factor in their tactics are their jetpacks allowing them to evade enemy attacks and reach normally not reached enemy position. Ambushes and weapons of mass destruction are their tools to break much more larger enemy formations.
