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.

"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==

Mechanicus Biologis technicians developed a drug secreting gland that allowed the guardsmen of the [[Lostock 23rd]] to better resist the effects of tyranid Tyranid alterations to a worlds Biospherebiosphere.
