Lasrifle Section

Lasrifle Section^[2]

Lasrifle Sections were the base infantry formation of the Solar Auxilia.^[1]

Typically consisting of a squad of twenty^[3] or ten Solar Auxiliaries led by a Sergeant and armed with accurate high-powered Lasrifles, Lasrifle sections were renowned for their discipline. In battle these Void Armour-clad soldiers would stand in multiple ranks, unleashing fire at incoming enemies.^[1] While the image of the firing line was a celebrated one across the Imperium, it wasn't the only way the Infantry Sections were deployed. They were also adept in fighting in loose formations during Zone Mortalis engagements or launching mass assaults across battlefields featuring the most hostile of planetary conditions.^[3]
