The '''13th Penal Legion''', also known as the '''Last Chancers''', is a [[Penal Legion]] of the [[Imperial Guard]]. However, rather than being simply a general punishment unit aimed at achieving the redemption of all the souls unlucky enough to enter its ranks, the 13th Penal Legion is specifically used to create elite squads of soldiers for use in extremely hazardous, top-secret special operations missions. It is particularly notable for achieving the destruction of [[Coritanorum]]{{Fn|1}}, the assassination of [[Tau]] [[Commander Brightsword]]{{Fn|2}} and also the assassination of the traitorous Overlord of [[Armageddon]], [[Herman von Strab]].{{Fn|3}}
