Nalite Royal Troops

The Nalite Royal Troops are an Imperial Army regiment built around the concept of Noble Houses working in tandem for the betterment of mankind. Each regiment has sons and daughters drawn from the thousands of minor and major noble houses and they will fight and die in the trenches to prove their birthright. As the Ruins go on, the Nalite will be tested like never before, but they will not break for to do so would to bring shame upon their house.

History
Fiftheen years before the disappearance of the Emperor of Mankind and the start of the Conclave of Terra, Lord-Militant Hexanius and the 55th Expeditionary Fleet would stumble across the world of Naliteine, a civilized world which had weathered the Age of Strife with great difficulty some records indicated that nearly 45.6% of the total population had died off from the innumerable civil wars that the noble classes fought among themselves.

As the Lord-Militant met with each Noble House, he quickly learned how to deal with their eccentric nobles and made promises to them that their sons and daughters would be granted the best equipment the new-born Imperium had to offer if they joined the ranks of the Imperial Army.

By the time of the Vanishing, the Nalite Royal Troops had around 100 regiments in active service, each numbering 5000 Men and Women  as they fought across the milky way galaxy to secure it in Mankind's name. After the Astronomican was turned back on, reports flooded in that nearly 20% of all regiments were lost.

This only further accelerated the political infighting that was common in the upper echelons of the regiments homeworld and nearly led to an outbreak of another civil war only stopped by the timely arrival of the Lord-Militant and the 55th Expeditionary Fleet who had been making it a priority to check up on those regiments closest regiments to his fleet when the Astronomican came back up.

During the first few years after the Vanishing, the Nalite slowly rebuilt their noble houses and reorganized their regiments, at this time a new Grand-Commissioner was elected by Houses Estielenet, Nognac, and Mausworth a up and coming Commissioner known as Dimetria Gualba who had successfully rescued nearly four-thousand Royal Troops from a Ork WAAAAGH! In the Dimmum System.

Taking to her new role eagerly, Dimetria Gualba met with Lord-Militant Hexanius on Terra during the Conclave where the Primarchs and Malcador were discussing about the fate of the Imperium, while she never had a love for the 20 sons of the Emperor, Dimetria would throw in her lot with those who said that a new regnet should elected in the Emperor’s absence.

During the Halcyon Era, Dimetria and the Royal Troops would gain more fame for their holding of territory against resurgent Xenos races and breaking them in the trenches that the Royal Troops were famously known for.

Notable Campaigns

 * Galmalamrit Three Campaign - First known deployment of the 1st Nalite Royal Regiment on an alien planet after their reunification with the rest of mankind.
 * Siege of Venigo - The 5th Nalite Royal Regiment engage a hostile Xenos race known as the Strux’uin on their asteroid-like homeworld. Total eradication of the Xenos is achieved and the asteroid is later studied by the Mechanicum.
 * Volus Maximus Campaign - A campaign that saw nearly 50 Royal Regiments fighting against an Empire that refused to join the Imperium of Mankind, by the time the last world of the Volus System was brought into compliance, nearly 16,500 Royal Regiment Troops had perished.

Regimental Organisation
By the time of the First Ruin the Nalite Royal Troops were organized into 100 regiments of 1000 men-at-arms each along with 500 supporting indentured servants. At the highest level sits the Commissioner who has total command over his/her regiment on and off the battlefield, making sure they respect the standards laid down by their ancestors. Next up are the twin Sub-Commissioners who have command over two groups of 500 Platoons.

Regimental Combat Doctrine
To fight the Nalite Royal Troops is to fight against a army of trench warfare experts honed by years of Civil War upon their homeworld, the Royal Troops refuse to go on the offense until they are absolutely sure the enemy have bled themselves dry on the wall of guns that rain down fire upon those brave enough to cross no man’s land and try and rush into the trenches that they have dug.

Notable Members

 * Grand-Commissioner Dimetria Gualba - The current Grand-Commissioner of the Nalite Royal Troops, currently around 110 years old by the time of the First Ruin. Born into House Gualba, Dimetria was well known for her brash attitude and her refusal to work alongside those that she saw as lesser. Going into battle with a custom made bolt pistol and chainsword, Dimetria is truly a mortal to be feared by the enemies of mankind.
 * Commissioner Virgilio Boisgefelon - Current Commissioner of the Nalite Royal Troops serving under Dimetria Gualba, born into House Boisgefelon, Virgilio is the total opposite to the Grand-Commissioner, refusing to use his rank to get ahead of those across the known currently active regiments of the Nalites.
