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 (the '''Phantine Skyborne'''), the Phantine [[Planetary Defence Force]] fields no ground troopers. 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 has extreme geography that forces everyone who lives there to live at very high altitude on the peaks of the mountain tops.<sup>1</sup>

===XX Wing 'Umbra' Squadron===
Absorbed whole from the Phantine PDF, Umbra Squadron switched from [[Lightning]] to [[Thunderbolt]] fighters at their mustering into the Guard. Their members wear quilted taupe flightsuits, red helmets and brown leather jackets. Their assigned model of Thunderbolt is pattern I-XXI.
