Editing Setting:Cloudburst/Guard (section)

===== [[Setting:Cloudburst/Delving|Delving]] System =====

Despite its toxicity, Delving has raised many regiments, as well as allied forces to supplement Adeptus Astartes units and their own Abhuman Auxilia.
* 20th Delving Field Guard Hostile Environment Motorized Regiment “Smogbreathers”: One upside of having possibly the worst water and atmospheric quality of any Cloudburst world is that Delving Guards are exceptionally good at fighting in areas of heavy pollution.  The metal-contaminated air and liquids of Delving are horribly suited for life, and Delving itself has had literally thousands of years of nonstop terraforming work just to attain its current habitability.  While this is terrible for agriculture and entertainment, it at least breeds tough and conscientious soldiers who never need to be told where to step.  The 20th Guard-HE Motorized, however, are more than environmentally flexible.  They hold the distinction of having worked with the broadest variety of military forces in Sector history.  At one time or another, this regiment has worked with Abhuman Auxilia, an Eldar Pathfinder team, the Inquisition, the Imperial Navy, the Tempestus Scions, the Commissariat, mercenaries, the Adeptus Arbites, Rogue Traders, Titans, the Corpus Secutarii, the Skitarii Legions, the Legio Cybernetica, PDFs, SDFs, the Deathwatch, the Blue Daggers, the Celestial Guard, the Red Templars, the Astral Claws (before the Badab War), the Raven Guard, four other less noteworthy Astartes Chapters, and even, one shocking day, a Custodian, who had been told by the Doomscryers to ensure the regiment survived its battle.  They have also worked with Battle Sisters, a Templar Militia, private security contractors, and four different Imperial intelligence agencies.  On one odd occasion, they were even used as ablative armor for an Officio Assassinorum Eversor Assassin.  This long history of cooperation has ensured that they are in high demand for Crusader forces, who have brought the regiment along in their vacuum-sealed transports and helmets with them into the darkness of space on many campaigns.
* 1st Delving Abhuman Auxilia Cohort “The Devil’s Satyrs”: This cohort of hircine beastmen has fought desperately to become more than the second-class citizens they were born to be, and they have done so for over nine hundred years.  The Cohort has seen battle honors from Segmentum Command, a rare feat indeed for a non-baseline force of the Imperium.  The Cohort earned their first laurels when they held the line without reinforcement during a small insurrection on Obelisk II, despite not having one moment of shipboard combat training, for fifty-seven hours, against over forty thousand rioting locals.  As such, they are sometimes called upon to accompany Inquisitors and Rogue Traders who travel the Cloudburst Circuit, pacifying abhuman or caveman populations.
