Zayth Regiments

The Zayth Regiments are an eclectic mix of regiments, who comprise the core of the Imperial Army forces under the command of the Warriors of Peace. Based on both the Warriors’ own style of warfare and the General’s observations of the many Imperial Army forces he had commanded, the Zayth regiments were designed to be the template of a new standard Imperial force. Their effectiveness would be tested several times during the Ruins.

History
Zayth, a War World in the Koronus Expanse, was chosen by the Jade General as the perfect Imperial Army recruitment world. As such, in 007.M31 a new governor was appointed by the General with orders to begin the recruitment of new Imperial Army regiments.

Regimental Organisation
Each regiment is composed of 3000 men and women and led by a colonel, which is subdivided into three 1000 troop strong companies led by a captain. The companies can serve well as a fighting unit in its own right, with individual companies commonly split off to achieve distinct objectives pertaining to a regiment’s overall mission. These companies are again divided into ten 100 man platoons, though the exact term used varies by type of company. The vehicle companies and regiments are divided into squadrons, and artillery companies are divided into batteries. Each platoon, squadron, or battery is typically commanded by a Lieutenant, the most junior of officers.

Regimental Wargear
The Zayth Regiments use standard wargear for an Imperial Army regiment, with Auxilia Rifles and Lascarbines being the standard weapon for infantry squads. Boltguns and Lasrifles are rather rare, as any available bolters are needed for the legions and the Lasrifles are needed for the Solar Auxilia.
