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

Oromet has few distinguished military units, but their focus on training to contain alien LZs is a necessary one, thanks to the profusion of Space Hulks in the region, any one of which could disgorge a horde of aliens or demons.
* 26th Oromet Shock Troopers Containment Regiment “Quarantine Force”: While most of Oromet’s contributions to the greater galaxy are not martial in nature, they do have an Imperial Guard, and that is the Oromet Shock Troopers.  Of all of their regiments, it is the 26th that is the most experienced, and they are a specialized formation.  They are a purely defensive regiment, and are equipped as such.  Using combinations of high-explosive mortars, artillery batteries, missile launchers, and cluster munitions, the 26th do one thing: they contain alien landing sites.  Coordinating with local aerospace forces and Imperial Navy ships, as well as local cruise missile launchers if those are present, the 26th Oromet use these long-range weapons combined with up-armored vehicles to bracket and pincer alien incursions.  Ironically, this regiment long predates the Glasian Migrations.  However, they have adapted well to the tasks of fighting off the aliens on their precious Passage, and they have found that the lack of Glasian heavy armor is quite a plus over their usual role of stopping Ork Lootas from robbing Imperial planets.  When battle closes to nearer distances than their preferred horizon fighting, however, the 26th does not panic: they break out the Bane Wolves, the Devil Dogs, and their pair of Stormblade tanks, each covered in as much armor as the Adeptus Mechanicus was willing to add.  These vehicles accompany whole formations of heavy infantry in fast trucks, carrying autostubbers and light rotary cannons with heavy blast shields, for laying down curtains of suppressing fire, the better to pin enemies for the regiment’s abundant snipers to pick off piecemeal.
