Nagrakal Thraexii
The Nagrakal Thraexii were Solar Auxilia Regiments, that were raised from worlds conquered by the World Eaters, during the Great Crusade and Horus Heresy.[1]
History
Drawn from a variety of worlds conquered by the World Eaters, these bonded troops were named after "Nagrakal", the hybrid tongue of the Legion itself. These disciplined troops proved useful for the World Eaters began to lose cohesion due to the Butcher's Nails. They were often used to oversee more mundane tasks as the World Eaters sated their need for violence.[3]
The World Eaters trained them in combat techniques in the Legion's gladiatorial pits, which ranged from duels to massed melee battles. However this was often at the expense of the Thraexii's lives. Their vehicles featured blood red and bone white vertical bands, whose colors were of special relevance to those who fought in the pits.[1]
