L'Corps de Ikarin

L'Corps Brevet Chief Sargent 1st Class(This is a rough draft, don't worry)

***L'Corps de Ikarin*** is the name given to all Astra Militarum regiments raised from the civilized planet of Ikarin Prime and the surrounding system. L'corps, steeped in honor and tradision, was founded in the closure of the Horus Heresy from the PDFs who fought and prevailed agaisnt the Night Lords. Since then, the regiments of L'corps have fought in almost every Imperial front with distinction and valor.

## *General History*

Located in the Ultima Segmentum, Manzikert Sector, Ikarin Sub-Sector, the system of Ikarin is home to 300 Billion Imperial citizens. The system is comprized of 11 planets, in order, closest to the star is as follows:

* **Caledonia**(Death World) - The planet too close to the star in be inhabited.
* **Miquelon**(Death World) - The planet too close to the star in be inhabited.
* **Dahomeny**(Hive World/Industrail World) - During the Horus Heresy the planet's forces virus bombed the surface, taking with it many of the Night Lord legionaries. Much of the population survived in the underground hives beneath the desert, fighting on in the defence of the planet.
* **Ikarin Prime**(Civilized World) - The capital of the system, Ikarin Prime is the oldest colinized planet in the system dating back to before the great crusade. During M31 much of the planet was redused to rubble in the Night Lords' invasion but since then has fully recovered. The capital of Versail is the capital of the system and is the hub of trade for the sector.
* **Saint Lucia's Yard**(Imperial Naval Facility) - A large naval station from the Great Scouring. It is still in operation and is the home to Battlefleet Manzikert and is the HQ for all Naval forces in the Manzikert Sector, the naval forces in use by L'Corps. On the plant is the Naval Academy aswell as countless drydocks, repair stations, and Camp Raffalli, housing the Airborne and HODR school.
* **Cotdvoire**(Mining World) - A civilized world from M32 to M35 when turned to for resourses.
* **Volta'fas**(Agri World)
* **Togolnd**(Ice World(Death World)) - The planet is a vast mountainous wasteland of ice and ash. Never rotating, the planet is nearly inhabitable beyond the North Pole. The few inhabitants live off of the planets large cave inhabiting cretures and sea beasts from the swamps and oceans underneath the ice shelf. The planet has a single hive city, **Blancmot**, the planet's capital, atop its North Pole to be permently facing the star. The HQ for all Alpin regiments, **Cra-Gevier**, is on the planet as well as their school, Ecole de Montagne.
* **Maruitan**(Gas Giant)
* **Gabadn**(Gas Giant)
* **Furtuna**(Ice World)

### Current Events

L'Corps' regiments are varying with many specialized units. They are most known for their airborne infantry, who employ shock and guerrilla tactics, fighting across the galaxy. Altogether, their units are trained in combined arms tactics and to work with any and all allied forces with precise cohesion.

The planet is self sufficient with five hive cities, Versail, the largest in the system, acts as the planetary, and thus surrounding system's capital. The planet's hive cities, small by most means, contain the largest portion of the population and are by default the center of commerce and industry on the planet. It is from these cities that many of L'corps recruits originated, with only two ways to grow up, military academies, or the street. L'Corps' officers mostly come from one of twomilitary officer academies. The most famous is that of "Saint-Cyrien", located just outside the planet's capital of Versail.

## Notable Campaigns

### Battle for Ikarin - 009-011.M31

The Ikarin System was the site of a Night Lords invasion during the Horus Heresy, in the 31st millennium. The invasion and maiming of many nobles caused the planetary governor to surrender. The military, headed by Marshal of Ikarin, Saint Cyrien, in disagreement, ceased power, overthrowing the governor once the legion made planetfall, waged war on the legion. Quickly the other planets PDFs assumed control, most notably on the Hive World of Dahomeny. The fighting on the planet lasted for over a year with the Night Lords' last forces only being routed by the arival of the Dark Angels. The battle gave precident for Saint Lucia's Yard to be built over the following years.

#### Battle for Ikarin Prime

Led by Marshal of Ikarin, Saint Cyrien, at the time General L'Corps Reneir Cyrien

#### Battle for Dahomeny

When the PDF took command, General L'Corps, at the time Lord General, Comee Rochame ordered the planet's essential workers and military to the underground hives, leaving only a skeleton crew to man the planitary defecnes. At the advent of the Night Lords' invasion of the planet Lord General Comee Rochame ordered the virus bombing of the planet, turning hive world to little more than a desert of sand and ash. The "Devestation of Dahoment", as it is known as, stopped the Night Lords' march, but only for a while. The Night Lords' companies set foot onto the wastes atop the dust of their fallen Battle Brothers seeking vengance on the Dahomen.

The Night Lords many times attepted to find the underground Hive Cities on the planet but due to the dunes above there chances worsened every minute.

### Asyni Dark Crusade - 008-018.M42

After the fall of Cadia and the creation of the great rift the forces of chaos became ever so brave and began to assult the Space Marine Chapter the "Angels of the Throne" of which Ikarin resides in the territory of. When Chapter Master Megos Dominikos Constantine recalled his fleets of Astartes, he also called for the aid of the Imperial Guard. L'Corps northern forces as well as their allies came to their aid. The Imperial Navy however split their forces to remain at their post of Forge World Armeniac.

#### Seige of Asyni - 010-012.M42

With a third of their forces, much of which was made up of armored regiments, still above Armeniac, the commanding officer, Luitenant-Generaal Ackerman, from the Weermag regiments, scambled to set up defences around the planet. Through the chaos, at the time Colonel, Laure Augusta, commander of the 151st Airborne Hussar Regiment, assumed control of all Airborne forces on the planet. Augusta planned in cordination with the Astartes the defence of the planet assuming greater control than his superiors by verdict of the Space Marines.

The invasion began is the skies over the planet as all those of the ground could see bursts of light popping on the horizon. Laure Augusta was promoted to General L'Corps, now officaly in command of 8th Airborne Division.

	+ Artillery(A): Designates artillery forces. They are at times misinterpreted as Alpin forces leading to confussion.

* Formation Modifiers
	+ Chasseur(C): Designates a high mobility or fast reaction force. It is also the name of Alpin forces due to their nature.
	+ \*Hussar(H): Designates mechanized capable or, at the time, mounted forces.

## L'Corps Recruitment & Training

### Officers

Officers are only taken from officer academies of which there are two on Ikarin Prime and five lesser academies on Dahomeny. During their final year at an academy they attend **L'ecole des Bases de L'Officier**(The School of Basic Officership), known in short as "BOS(Basic Officer School)". Once graduated, these troopers are asigned to a regimental school. Infantry and Hussar training is at **Ecole de Infantry**, Ikarin Prime, it lasts two months. Alpin training is at **Ecole de Montagne**(School of the Mountain), Chamony, Togolnd, it lasts three months. Airborne training is at **Camp Raffalli**, Saint Lucia's Yard, it lasts three months. Armored and Artillery training is at **Ecole de Cavalry**, Dahomeny, it lasts four months. Once this training is complete the trooper is assigned to a regiment, usually in garrison, however, in times of large scale combat to active units. Within their training they act as they would in combat, leading their men from thier furture posistions. This is the last regimental training most troopers receive with the exeption of Airborne units who, is selected for HODR, train for another two months at Camp Raffalli.

There is additional officer training once the trooper makes Colonel and is some cases Commandant. This training happens at **L'Ecole D'Officier Superieur**(The School of Advanced Officership) within Versail on Ikarin Prime. The course, known as "AOS(Advanced Officer School)", prepares an officer to lead a regimental sized unit or larger with training lasting two months.

Ikarin Prime Academies

* **Saint-Cyrien** - The most prestigious officer academy located outside the capital of Versail.
* **Ecole du L'Corps**

Dahomeny Academies

* **Institut Militaire du Dahomey**
* **Institut du le Troop**
* **Collage de Guerre**
* **Académie de L'Arm**
* **Du Sang Pur Honer**

#### Saint-Cyrien

Saint-Cyrien is an all branch academy, unlike all others. It was created by Marshal of Ikarin, Saint Cyrien, hero of the Battle of Ikarin and first Marshal of Ikarin, being named after him after his death. It is a six year academy, with exceptions, allowing for down to four year enrollment, of which cadets are drilled, exercised, and trained for service in L'Corps. It was founded under the principle to make sure that if another moment came in which the military would need to seize power, there would be officers to make such a decision.

The cadets study history, science, engineering, civics, leadership, and tactics throughout their time. The cadets' first two years are spent in deep tests across all studies as well as all forms of fitness. The third year marks the first exam, this is the last allowed point of entry by any cadet, if failed, the cadet will no longer be permitted to attend the academy if they survive. The exact tests performed in these seven months are unknown, but are known to cause an 80% dropout rate of which few survive. Once this phase in their training is complete they are presented their class ring and attend the "Ring Ball" within Rochame Hall, where there is more than a million in attendace. The last two years are comprised of field drills as a final test for class rankings for regiment selection. Every year the academy produces upwards of a half a million officers, the most out of any of academies.

### Enlisted

The regiments are raised from the PDFs(Planetary Defense Forces), a conscription based force of all nonessential workers from the system. They are taken at a young age and trained on all of L'corps equipment, mastering marksmanship and drill before their teenage years. Nine out of ten of the conscripts volunteer for L'corps and are sent to a specialty school and permanently assigned to a regiment, of which most never leave nor return. For many, it is seen as a path to a new and prosperous life in service to the Emperor.

Once a trooper volunteers he is placed in a regimental billet by his PDF commander. Once this billet is filled the trooper is sent to his first duty station for training. Infantry and Hussar training is at **Ecole de Infantry**, Ikarin Prime, it lasts two months. Alpin training is at **Ecole de Montagne**(School of the Mountain), Chamony, Togolnd, it lasts three months. Airborne training is at **Camp Raffalli**, Saint Lucia's Yard, it lasts three months. Armored and Artillery training is at **Ecole de Cavalry**, Dahomeny, it lasts four months. Once this training is complete the trooper is assigned to a regiment, usually in garrison, however, in times of large scale combat to active units. This is the last training most troopers receive with the exeption of Airborne units who, is selected for HODR, train for another two months at Camp Raffalli.

## Regimental Combat Doctrine

**Infantry Regiment Combat Doctrine**

Infantry regiments are the most common regiments within L'Corps. They are seperated into two destinct types, those being: standard Infantry regiments, and Alpin regiments, both are the backbone of the any L'Corps operation.

**Infantry**

More than most regiments, those from L'Corps place value on guardsmens lives due to the fact they are equiped well enough to function. Infanrty regiments are a constand amongs the galaxy, stalwart defenders of man in thier innumerous masses. They close distance with the enemy by fire and maneuver to kill whatever be in their way.

**Alpin**

Alpin regiments are specialized light infantry that are trained to operate in all terran, no matter how hazardous. Known as "Chasseurs", the term also the designation of highly mobile forces, and informaly "Blue Deamons", Alpin troopers are known to be L'Corps most brutal units, stopping at and for nothing in the way of victory. These regiments of foot exisit to be a highly foot moblie force on the battle field being self reliant. Due their resilience and brutality they are commonly placed within sieges against their mobile purpose. That being said, their engineers are masters of tunneling and breaking sieges by unconventional means.

**Airborne Regiment Combat Doctrine**

Made up of Airborne units of conventional light infantry with airborne capability, and High Orbit Drop Rangers(HODR), L'Corps premier special forces unit. Airborne units' perpose is to be a high mobility rapid deployment force on the battle field. High Orbit Drop Rangers' are a specialized company within the regiment, being deployed the fatherst behind the lines and the first boots on the ground; they are both shock troops and a reconnaissance force.

**Airborne**

Airborne regiments are the pride of L'Corps. They stand as one of the best high mobility, rapid reaction forces in the Astra Militarum. They are the first large scale direct action unit to be deployed upon the battle field. Unlike other Guard units, Airborne, and even more so Grav-Chute Hussar Regiments, their guardsmens' lives are given value in their equpment. They are well armed and armored, being given every chance to be the most efective gaurdsman upon the field.

**High Orbit Drop Rangers(HODR)**

High Orbit Drop Rangers, commonly known as "Rangers", comprise HODR companies within airborne regiments. Deployed primarily from Imperial Navy ships and their Aeronautica Imperialis counterparts, the Rangers jump from high orbit, on many occasions using Valkyries, pushing their flight ceiling. Utilizing their T-102 Grav-Chutes, Rangers navigate the atmosphere in chalks of 10 led by a Lieutenant. They have two roles on a battelfield: One, is to preform reconnaissance and disrupt ememy activiy, two, is to preform stitegic strikes on enemy posistions and or equipment.

**Hussar Regiment Combat Doctrine**

Made up of infantry in tandem with APCs and IFVs, the mission of the Hussar mechanized Infantry regimeny is to close with the enemy by maneuver, to destroy or capture the enemy, repel the enemy’s assault by fire, and engage in close combat and counterattack. They are the tip of an assault's spear, functioning with and maintaining rapid movement with, if possible, greater integral firepower.

**Dragoon Regiment Combat Doctrine**

Made up of a multitude of tanks and their attached units, these regiments are L'Corps' hammer. They function as a brute force to engage enemies at a distance and are armored to provide increased survivability for operational langth, and if needed, forward movment.

**Artillery Regiment Combat Doctrine**

Artillery's purpose is to provide fire support to offensive and defensive maneuvers using high volume of indirect fire. They are attached to all division sized units and are seen as one of the most valuable functions on a battlefield.

## Wargear

**Standard Issue**

Used by all following regiment types.

* **F1V Armeniac Pattern Lasgun**: A bulpup style lasgun designed on Armeniac, the F1 was standard issue starting in M34. First made for Airborne regiments, its use was later made standard across all units. Unpdated in M37 to the F1V(Valris). F1G and F1VG are models of the lasgun with integrated underbarrel grenade launchers.
* **6 Armeniac S2** **Power Packs**: Standard use for all Armeniac pattern las weapon systems. The S2 functions similarly to all others but fits for precisely with other Aemeniac produced las weapons.
* **Eickhorn Knife** - Standard issue to all troopers. It is a compact and durable knife that may not be as flashy as those wielded by the regiments of Catachan but is as leathal.
* **2 Frag Grenades** - Frag Grenades use a combustible charge and special fillers of shrapnel fragments which make them potent anti-personnel weapons. Imperial Frag Grenades are roughly the size of a clenched fist and covered with a heavily notched shell, both to increase the shrapnel produced and provide a more secure grip for throwing.
* **2 Smoke Grenades** - Smoke Grenades release a dense smoke which only obscures basic eyesight and optical based systems. They do not block detection systems that use heat or other spectral bands outside of normal human eyesight, but are much more widely available and easier to construct.
* **Dahomen** **Pattern Flak or Carapace Armor**: The flak armor, a light and relatively simple form of body armour used by the military forces of the Imperium of Man. It is used as standard issue body armour. Many layers of ablative and impact absorbent material go into making each suit, enough to deflect or negate most low-level attacks such as small arms, shrapnel, and proximity blasts. Carapace Armor, made from moulded plates of armaplas, ceramite, or other strong materials, it covers the upper torso of its wearer. Even with the wealth of L'Corps it is only issued to officers of the line and airborne units due to cost. Onto either is mounted the troopers' respirator as well as grav-chutes.
* **Respirator** - Standard issue to all troopers for use in toxic, high atomostphere, vacume, or any damaging surroundings.
* **Webbing** - Worn under the armor, all of the troopers gear is attached their webgear, made from ballistic nylon it is heavily customizable and made to fit to the trooper and their mission. Most troopers only use the belt portion to keep full mobility.
* **Comms Array** - This short-range communication device is worn in the helmet and is utilised for short-range communication (usually about three kilometres, depending on weather conditions and terrain). A larger model is worn with the use of a Vox-Caster.
* **Vox-caster** - A Vox-caster is a standard and reliable radio wave communication device used to transmit over long distances, including to and from orbiting vessels. This allows communications with other Imperial personnel who possess Vox-casters. A Vox-caster's standard range is 100 kilometres, though better crafted variants exist that have longer ranges.
* **Magnoculars** - Mounted to a trooper's helmet, magnoculars are powerful vision aids that magnify distant objects. More advanced, high-quality magnoculars can also do such things as give range read-outs, detect heat sources, calculate target location positioning, and take pict-captures of a view for later analysis.
* **All Weather Gear**
* **Rucksack**
* **Basic Toolkit**
* **Mess Kit & Water Canteen**
* **3 week's Rations**
* **Sleeping Bag**
* **Rechargeable Lamp Pack** - Sturdy and reliable, these portable devices are used to help illuminate the darkness of a battlefield during inclement weather or occluded conditions, shining a highly luminescent, yellowish beam of light a dozen or so metres in width. A Lamp-Pack can be utilised for roughly five hours before its portable power pack needs to be recharged or replaced.
* **Grooming Kit**
* **Dog Tags**
* **Imperial Infantryman's Uplifting Primer** - This is the standard-issue field manual that covers a myriad of topics as it relates to the upkeep and care of standard-issue equipment and covers a wide variety of topics; from the various Imperial Guard ranks, organisation and structure, drill-and-ceremony as well as topics on survival, battlefield medical instructions, and combat tactics. Those Imperial Guard troopers found without possession of this vital field manual often face severe punishment at the hands of attached Commissars from foreign regiments, those from L'corps are relatively indifferent.

Alpin Regiments

* **Aplin Environment Survival Suit** - A more advanced version of the "All Weather Gear" made for the Alpin regiments' operations in dangerous enviorments.
* **Vehicles**
	+ **Taurox** - The **Taurox** is used as an all terrain armored transport with integrated firepower.
	+ **Griffon** - Used as light mobile artillery to support units they are attached to.
	+ **Alpin Pattern Sentinel** - The **Alpin Pattern Sentinel** is the main fire support platform of Alpin Regiments. It has wider feet for greater traction and stability as well as a greater temperature control unit.

Airborne Regiments

* **Grav-Chute(T-101 & T-102)** - The **Grav-Chute** is used for aerial insertions and high altitude jumps. Coming in two models, the T-101 and T-102; the T-101 is the lighter, smaller version, used by Airborne Troopers, only being able to be used in short bursts. Usually mounted to the trooper's lower back on their webgear, the T-102 is the more specialized version in use by the High Orbit Drop Rangers. Mounted to the Ranger's back, it allows for orbital entry to a planet with a controlled descent and limited flight capabilities once on the ground for a short duration.
* **Photo-Visor** - These advanced lenses are designed to increase the amount of light waves hitting the retina of the eye, which enhances low-light vision to that point that even on the darkest nights its users can see almost as well as in full daylight.
* **Dahomen** **Pattern Carapace Armour(J-19 & J-3)** - Advanced armor made for airborne Airborne Troopers. Standard airborne units utilize the standard J-3 model, covering the upper abdomen, while HODR units use the J-19, covering the majority of their figure.
* **Hotshot Lasgun** - Sometimes also known as **Hellguns**, "hot-shot" weapons are almost exclusively used by high-ranking Imperial officers and elite forces who favour the higher power provided by these weapons over the higher rate of fire but poorer penetration power of the Imperial Guard's standard-issue laser weapons. These weapons are used by HODR to great effect.
* **Vehicles**
	+ **Tauros -** Able to be fitted onto a Valkyrie Sky Talon it is the only fast ground mobile vehicle used by Airborne units. It is the only vehicle used by HODR units, retrofitting them with specialized grav-chutes to be dropped into combat zones from high-orbit.
	+ **Drop Sentinel -** Modified to fit two to a Valkyrie Sky Talon and with anti-grav chutes, it can be air-dropped into combat alongside Airborne infantry.
	+ **Valkyrie(And Varients) -** VTOL aircraft heavily used for incertion and battle mobility, the Valkyrie makes Airborne units what they are.
	+ **ARV-8(& ARV-9)** - The **Armored Reconicence Vehicle - 8**(ARV-8) is a modified wheeled **Chimedon** functioning as a light tank that *Grav-Chute Hussar* units strap high yield grav-chutes to in order to have increased integrated armor and firepower on an LZ. The ARV-9 is of similar use, however, it is equiped instead with a Heavy Autocannon.

Hussar Regiments

* **--** - --
* **Vehicles**
	+ **Chimera(And Hellhound) -** The **Chimera**, the **Hellhound**, and their subsequent variants are the backbone of Hussar regiments for L'corps, just as they are for many others. Hellhounds are far less frequently seen on the battlefield for their lower numbers, this is aided by the fact they are attached to other units; rarely will there be an entire company of Hellhounds be seen. Hellhounds were initially tested for Airborne use but were found to explode on impact, killing all in their vicinity.
	+ **Crassus -** The **Crassus** is the heaviest transport used by L'Corps. The standard model is most common, however, others are used by artillery regiments to great effect.
	+ **Tauros -** However made for Airborne units, the **Tauros** is used by many Hussar Regiments for its high mobility.
	+ **Griffon** - Used as light mobile artillery to support units **Griffons** are attached to.

Dragoon Regiments

* **P-3 Boots** - The **P-3 Boots** are issued to tankers allowing for greater protection from the internals of their tank.
* **Vehicles**
	+ **Leman Russ Battle Tank(And Varients) -** --
	+ **Hydra Flak Tank -** --
	+ **Baneblade(And Varients) -** --

Artillery Regiment

* **P-7 Helmet** - Artillerymen are issued the **P-7 Helmet** providing them hearing protection.
* **Vehicles**
	+ **Basilisk -** The **Basilisk** *is the* standard heavy artillery used by L'Corps. Its use is innumerable, comprising artillery batteries made up of up to hundreds of these self propelled guns.
	+ **Praetor Armoured Assault Launcher -** The **Praetor** is the only intigrated heavy artillery system in L'Corps. The multi launch missile system is inplace in numerous units within L'Corps as both an direct and indirect fire support option.
	+ **Colossus Bombard -** The heaviest artillery in use by L'Corps, the *Colossus Bombard* is used for slow moving siege warfare being slow to posistion.
	+ **Deathstrike Missile Launcher** - Rare within L'Corps, **Deathstrike Missile Launchers** are a mobile ballistic missile launcher. They are only used is the largest scale of warfare, with certain payloads classified as "Ordnance Extremis" by the Departmento Munitorum.

## Regimental Appearances

In general the appearances of the regiments of L'corps are uniform. Each trooper is issued the following uniforms from highest to lowest:

* **Service Dress Uniform**(SDUs) - The highest ranking uniform; used for official functions and or ceremonies consisting of a khaki jacket, trousers, and colored cover, the color depending on the troop's type of regiment.
