Editing Voidsmen-at-Arms

[[File:Voidsman.jpg|300px|right|thumb|The Navy too, have their own meatshields.]]
'''Voidsmen-at-Arms''' or sometimes known as simply '''Voidsmen''' (Not to be confused with the [[Derp|''actual'']] indentured, disposable Voidsmen, although it may be hinted to be used as an insult) are the [[Imperial Navy]]'s first and only line of defence in case of a boarding action where to occur. Voidsmen are part of Naval Security and are basically their own thing. However, they are known to work closely with the [[Militarum Tempestus]] especially on joint missions in exploring [[Space Hulk]]s and intermingling between the two is more common than their interactions with their more ''literal'' [[Imperial Guard|grounded cousins]]. Hell, some of them are so close, that certain Voidsmen are known to wear Stormtrooper [[Carapace Armour]] as shown in the Eisenhorn: Xenos video game. Ergo, don't be too surprised if the [[Tempestus Scions]] have incorporated some Voidsmen-at-Arms in their mini-army, especially for Void-operated procedures.

==Overview==
Trained extensively in the use of [[Lasgun]]s, the prime duty of Voidsmen is to prevent enemy boarding actions and put down any uprising by the large numbers of indentured workers on Imperial Navy vessels. However, they are not merely defensive in nature and are trained to conduct counter-boarding actions and act as escorts for navy officers. For this, they are equipped with not only Lasguns but also [[Grenades & Explosives#Shock Grenade|Concussion Grenades]], [[Laspistol]]s, [[Combat Shotgun]]s and [[Flak Armour]]. Some wield heavier [[Rotor Cannon]]s, known as the deck cleaner. If you would notice something, ''none'' of their weapons have a high AP, for a ''good'' reason. You don't want to 'accidentally' blow off an important cogitator from a ship or breach its hull am I right?

When a Voidsman is assigned to their ship, there is no going back. From that day on they are part of the vessel. They have this funky ceremony (Read [[Drug]]s) that resembles more of a fratboy initiation, where they take a part in the ship's [[/d/|vital fluids]] and start drinking this incense-laced oil so that [[Wat|the essence of the ship flows through their bloodstream]]. How these guys avoid getting [[Derp|brain damage]] from spiking their blood system with space jet fuel, we have no idea. But man their poor, ''poor'' [[FATAL|liver.]] Upon induction, they swear an oath of fealty to not just their superiors but to the vessel on which they serve, so they take this liver-destroying rite quite [[Serious Business|seriously.]] Their lives are simple and absent of the moral ambiguity that haunts much of the Imperium. For a Voidsman, their ship must be protected at all costs and that is all that matters. 

Voidsmen are typically led by experienced troopers promoted from within their ranks known as '''Voidmasters''' or also archaic terms such as petty officer or warrant officer. These officers are frequently equipped with [[Combat Shotgun]]s, but may also come equipped with a [[Shotgun Pistol]], [[Hand Cannon]] and a [[Power sword|Power Sword]] if needed.

It is not uncommon for Voidsmen to be requisitioned by the [[Inquisition]] or even [[Rogue Trader]]s for their assistance.

Due to their (Comparatively) comfier nature of just standing there and handling to occasional worker riots or pirate attacks, they have smaller balls than the Guard, but still much higher compared to the [[Stormtrooper]]s.
