Changes

The first Founding from [[Hyrkan]] raised six infantry regiments for the Imperial Guard (6,000 troopers being inducted, it is presumed that each regiment was only 1,000 [[Guardsmen]] strong). As a possible result of this, they seem to have been deployed together, as a form of miniature 'super-regiment' wherever possible.{{Cite This}}

The chief political officer provided for all six regiments at their Founding was [[Commissar-General]] [[Delane Oktar]], whose progressive command and discipline style was based around principles of unity, honour, and the value of the individual [[Guardsman]]. Oktar's martial philosophy was drilled into the Hyrkan officers and at least one [[Cadet-Commissar]], [[Ibram Gaunt]], who came under his purview.{{Cite This}}

Due to the command philosophy of the regiments, Hyrkan battle-style was based around 'selecting the right tools for the job', with a notable de-emphasis on straightforward massed infantry assaults. Before military actions, the abilities of each trooper were considered when assigning battlefield roles.{{Fn|1b}}

The average Hyrkan appears to be of pale skin with fair, almost colourless hair. Their uniform was dark grey, with beige webbing and forage caps. Winter battledress including camouflaged gloves and greatcoats. The Hyrkan accent is clipped and guttural.{{Fn|1a}}{{Fn|1b}}
