| − | 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]]

| − | 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.

| − | 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.
