{{LReg2|Name=Phantine Air Corps|Miniature=Phantine.jpg|Homeworld=[[Phantine (planet)|Phantine]]|Specialities=Aerial Combat|Established=ImperialGuardPortal}}{{cite}}The '''Phantine Air Corps''' is a particularly unusual [[regiment]] even amidst the many and varied forces that make up the [[Imperial Guard]]. With the exception of a tiny force of dedicated [[drop-troopers troop]]ers (the '''Phantine Skyborne'''), the Phantine [[Planetary Defence Force]] fields no ground troopers. The Instead, the bulk of their strength is made up of aviators. This state of affairs is a direct result of the peculiar topography of their homeworld; : [[Phantine (planet)|Phantine ]] has extreme geography that forces everyone who lives there to live at very high altitude on the peaks of the mountain tops.^{{Fn|1}}

== History ==The lack of open ground mean on Phantine meant that , when the time came for an Imperial Guard levy [[tithe]], no ordinary regiments could be mustered. Imperial high command High Command made a special exception for the Phantine to be allowed to operate their own atmospheric fighter craft , despite the rule that no Imperial Guard regiment may provide its own air cover. The odd role of the Phantine means that they are not welcome among either regular Imperial Guard nor amongst or [[Imperial Navy|Naval]] aviators , amongst whom they are forced to operate. However the Phantine has proven to be an extremely capable regiment and has begun to earn the grudging respect of navy fliers.^{{Fn|2 }}

The Phantine Air Corps is formed up of Wings, which contain specific squadrons, usually all of one type of aircraft. Each individual squadron is made up of 12 aircraft. Squadrons are usually broken down further, into three formations of four fighters known for fighter patrols and the same again or two units of six for bomber sorties. These formations are called Flights.^{{Fn|2}}
