The Steel Vanguard of Valdorin Primus

The Steel Vanguard of the civilised planet of Valdorin Primus are unlike most Imperial Army regiments that comprise the bulk of the Cthonian Imperium’s military forces. Unlike the Eisenaldens who carry out their duties to the Imperium with unquestioning zeal in the form of shock and awe mixed with unrelenting sieges with vast arrays of artillery and endless hordes of both standard Iron Shock Troopers and the elite SA forces or the primitive Tyrannocevia Riders of the Gorgon High-Riders, the Steel Vanguard utilise tactics more akin to the old United States military, utilising ground and aerial superiority with the usage of UAVs, MK9 Amplified Mobility Platforms (AMPs) and various forms of manned aerial combat vehicles that are locally produced upon their homeworld. Ever since their official organisation into the modern Steel Vanguard they have been viewed with much prejudice, being a planet that takes great pride in how it governs itself along with its culture revering their heritage that connects them back to the now ancient United States of America, practicing democracy that has been mixed with parts of both Montergian and Cthonian ideologies and laws, creating a chimeric Imperialistic Democracy, with the elected President acting as the highest ranking government official planet-side with the oversight of a representative of the Imperial Administration to insure that they remain stalwart in their loyalty to mankind Her defence.

In most operations the Steel Vanguard is called upon to act as military vanguards to set up fortifications and defenses upon a world that has little to no human presence upon it. An additional specialty that the Steel Vanguard is well versed in is guerilla warfare when fighting the foes of mankind, striking from the plant growth with deadly precision and disappearing leaving little evidence of their presence save for the corpses of their unsuspecting foes.
