- 31st Kleistian Grenadiers - Homeworld: Kleist Regiment Type: Gue'vesa

Overview

The 1st Kleistian Grenadiers, along with the 3rd Garrusite Dragoons and the 5th Phaebian Guard, are one of several newly raised regiments of Gue'vesa (though they prefer the term Gue'senshi), recently raised from the humans of the Kleist System, a former Imperial systen now the first major system to join the Tau Empire during the Third Sphere of Expansion.^[1]

History

"After centuries of Imperial corruption, authoritarianism and misrule, our people are finally free to cast off the superstitions and stifling restrictions of another era. Our children are learning of science and the arts, our cities are being rejuvenated by clean energy supplies and technologies and our traders are able to sell their wares and import goods from Dal’yth Prime and beyond. Every day allows us to witness the benefits and freedoms granted by membership of the Tau Empire, and we will prove that we are ready to contribute our fair share to its expansion and protection. We will earn our new-found place as a part of, and a benefit to, the Greater Good"

— Gue’senshi’O Kleist N’Roth Commander of the 1st Kleistian Grenadiers, 025.M42^[1]

Recruitment & Training

"Although they have only been a part of our Empire for a short time, the Gue’senshi have already proven their worth aboard the Y’eldi. Their presence in the capture of the Gue’vattra vessel Ultima Imperia was crucial, as they were able to provide a friendly face to the surviving crew, convincing them of the benefits of joining the Greater Good. The Fio back home are most appreciative of their efforts – and the Hunter Cadres aboard welcome the options they provide in land-based operations."

— Kor’O Dal’yth Y’eldi, Kor’vattra Qath’fannor Battlegroup, 026.M42^[1]
