The '''Juventia''' are part of [[Macragge]]'s [[Ultramar Auxilia]] and is composed of young males, that are the last line of defense for the [[Realm of Ultramar]]'s [[Capital World]].{{Fn|1}}
==Description==
They are led by '''Troop Masters''' who train the Juventia to be young warriors, by following a syllabus that will contains lessons on combat drilling and history. When the Juventia later come of age, their training is complete and they leave the group to undergo the trials needed to join the [[Ultramar Auxilia]] when they come of age. The group's syllabus is known to include combat drilling and the teaching of [[Ultramar]]'s history. Also because of the level of their training, the Juventia are the first place the [[Ultramarines]] go to recruit in search of [[Aspirants]] for the [[Chapter]].{{Fn|1}}
==History==
During the [[Plague Wars]], one '''Troop Master''' led a number of Juventia astray after he joined a group of rebels that were staging violent protests against [[Macragge]]'s strict rationing. He then became the leader of a cell of at least one hundred and thirty two rebels, which consisted of the Troop Master's Juventia and a number of older males who had failed the trials to join the [[Ultramar Auxilia]]. The rebel group would then launch sixteen attacks on the [[Capital World]] and the Troop Master's cell was among them, as they stormed the '''Museo Illyricus''' museum in Macragge's '''Illyrian''' region. Once the building was under their control, the rebel cell informed the [[Capital World]]'s government, that they had a biological device that could thousands should it be activated. They said they were protesting Macragge's rationing and wished to talk peacefully about increasing the food available to the world's population and slowing the recruitment drive for the Auxilia.{{Fn|1}}
