'''Dremmond''' was a [[Flamer|flame]]-[[trooper]] of the [[Tanith First and Only]] [[Imperial Guard Regiment|regiment]].{{Fn|1a}}{{Fn|2}}
==Biography==
In the closing stages of the [[Siege of Vervunhive]], Dremmond was one of thirty Tanith selected personally by [[Colonel-Commissar]] [[Ibram Gaunt]] to take part in [[Operation Heironymo]], the mission to infiltrate [[The Spike]] and assassinate [[Heritor Asphodel]].{{Fn|1b}}
Later, when the regiment was deployed on [[Phantine (Planet)|Phantine]], Dremmond was stationed aboard a [[drop-ship]] designated '''2K''' as part of the assault on [[Cirenholm]]. However, on the approach to the city, drop-ship 2K was hit by [[Blood Pact|enemy]] anti-air fire and brought down. The pilot was forced to make a crash-landing on the outside of Cirenholm's secondary dome; the ship made it to relatively secure ground thanks to the efforts of [[Imperial Guard Commander|Commander]] [[Bree Jagdea]] of the [[Phantine Fighter Corps]] (who had survived being shot down herself earlier in the battle) but, as the Tanith were disembarking, 2K began to slide off the dome. While trying to get clear of the ship, Dremmond was injured and fell over, almost sliding off the dome himself. He was saved by [[Trooper]]s [[Brin Milo|Milo]], who caught Dremmond before he fell, and [[Noa Vadim|Vadim]], who pulled them both to safety.{{Fn|3a}}{{Fn|3b}}
