The '''Elysian Drop Troops''' [[Imperial Guard]] [[regiment]] are known for the rapid deployment capabilities using Airborne Troop Carriers called [[Valkyrie]]s, and deloy by rappelling or grav-chutes from high altitudes.
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, ammounting 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 Lord Inquisitor Varius of [[Ordo Xenos]]. Varius included the detachment with the forces given to Inquisitor Lok to investigate the apparent silence of the research facility on [[Beta Anphelion IV]]
==Battle Style==
"From the skies!" [[Regimental motto]]<br>
The regiments raised on Elysia are mainly specialised airborne drop troops and detachement 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==
==Army Weapons Specialisations==
The men and women of Detachment D-99 have meen 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 worlds Biosphere.
==Notable Battles or Campaigns==
* Scourging of [[Hive Fleet Kraken]] - [[Eastern fringe]]:[[Moloch]], [[Hamman's World]] and [[Moran]]
* [[Anphelion Project]] 850.[[M41]] - [[Beta Anphelion IV]]<br>
''[http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/ Forge World] recently released a new line of resin models for Elysian Drop Troops for their [[Taros Campaign]], a conflict between the [[Imperium]] and the [[Tau]].''
