Korrikan Steam Troopers

The Korrikan Steam Troopers are an Imperial Army regiment in the Imperial Army during the Great Crusade and Five Ruins. Recruited from the dark Industrial World of Korrikan, the troopers are drawn from the hardy workforce of the manufactorums, being well-versed in weapon and machine maintenance. Despite their world’s relative obscurity, the Steam Troopers have become a well-regarded regiment and are fiercely proud of their regiment’s history and reputation.

Having fought during the Great Crusade for over a century and on numerous different worlds and campaigns, the Korrikan Steam Troopers are veterans in their preferred style of warfare. Modifying their standard-use vehicles to fit their unique specifications, they combine heavy use of mechanised assaults and close range infantry firepower.

Homeworld
The world of Korrikan is a relatively newly populated world in Segmentum Ultima, having been colonised early during the Great Crusade. Designated as an Industrial World, the focus on the construction was the development of large manufactorums to produce minor machine parts for the vehicles needed upon the nearby Forge World of Ryza. As a result, not much attention was paid to the housing of the workers, and as large numbers of workers were moved there by the nascent Departmento Munitorum many slums sprung up. The wealthy industralists of the world who owned the factories were able to build large houses and public buildings for their own aggrandisement, but they are simply a pinhead in comparison to the vast majority of dark, dingly slums and underworlds.

Regimental Colours
The Korrikan Steam Troopers are dressed in mostly black uniforms, the better to blend in in poorly lit environments, with which company and detachment adding its own coloured sashes and undercoats.

Regimental Badge
The badge of the Korrikan Steam Troopers is a looming white industrial tower, with a circular cog around it. [[Category:K]]
