The 99th Elysian Drop Troops Regiment were heavily engaged on the eastern fringe against Hive Fleet Kraken. After many years of continuous engagement against the Tyranids the regiment was on its last reserves of manpower. The survivors, amounting to not much more than a reinforced company, were reorganised into a single detachment under the command of the senior surviving officer, D companies' Major Durra. The detachment was then seconded to the Inquisition, in service to Inquisitor Lord Varius of the Ordo Xenos. Varius included the detachment with the forces given to Inquisitor Soloman Lok to investigate the apparent silence of the research facility on Beta Anphelion IV
Battle Style
"From the skies!" is the D-99 regimental motto.
The regiments raised on Elysia are mainly specialised airborne drop troops and D-99 is no exception. However the regiment has been whittled down in combant and no longer has access to alot of the heavier equipment available to a more typical Elysian founding. The regiment is also exclusively made up of Tyrranic war veterans.
Appearance & Uniform
Weapons & Equipment
The men of Detachment D-99 have been surgically modified with a technique first developed during the defence of Dantris III, a Forge World on the eastern fringe. Mechanicus Biologis technicians developed a drug secreting gland that allowed the guardsmen of the Lostock 23rd to better resist the effects of Tyranid alterations to a world's biosphere.
