Okay, here is my chain of command and ORBAT. Still a WIP but all numbers are present.

Edit: Happy page 100!

by **Imperial City-States** » Sun May 04, 2014 4:38 pm

Post is up , hope someone responds and doesn't shoot at me

by **La Bandera Roja** » Sun May 04, 2014 4:46 pm

Current 95th Rifles ORBAT.

by **Carcharhinidae primari** » Mon May 05, 2014 1:43 am

Aelosia, doesn't pretentia still have leman russ variants on the orbat? my updated one will come in a few. I'll have already updated it to include the two atlas vehicles (a change that'll come in my next post) and the casualties. I guess I can't pretend having enough men to keep up three platoons any more.

Updated urdeshi SOE for the casualties and some reorganizing (consider this their ORBAT upon leaving the fort).

Injuries sustained during the assault(determined by fair dice rolls

):
Company command team: 1 sergeant
first platoon, squad 3: 1 sergeant, 1 corporal, 1 gunner (team 1)
first platoon, squad 2, team 3, 1 driver
Second platoon, command team, Lieutenant Yaro Heron

No, there is no Pretentia. There's an Empire of Pretantia though.

But yes, I have five LR.

by **Morrdh** » Mon May 05, 2014 5:07 am

I'll whip up an ORBAT for the Morridanes at some point over the next couple of days.

Newly arrived: The stalwart Persican 501st!

From: Sourcebook: Persica
Cambrius is my handle on the site, and the work is mine.

Company name: Persican 501st Black Lance (Mechanised Infantry)
Home world: Persica [Persican Cluster Subsector, Benelith Sector, Segmentum Obscurus]
Type of Company: Infantry
Commanding Officer: Captain Tavio Archer
Number of Guardsmen: Regimental strength about 4%, company strength at about 40%, 225 total personnel.
Platoons: 4, plus company command squad.
Squads: 26, including command squads.
Standard Infantry Squads: 10
Special Weapon Squads: 5 - flamers
Heavy Weapon Squads: 5 – lascannons (2), autocannons (2), heavy bolters (1); each squad fields three weapons.
Stormtrooper Squad: 1 (stormtrooper sergeant and six stormtroopers)
Support (Weapons, vehicles, etc): 21 total vehicles.
Timberfox-pattern Chimeras: 12
Mars-pattern Chimeras: 2
Mars-pattern Hellhounds: 3
Devil Dogs: 2
Chimerax: 1
Command Chimera: 1
Uniforms: Standard Cadian-style of uniform, black armour over dark green disruptive pattern.
Miscellaneous info: There's quite a lot in the Sourcebook. I'm grateful to anyone who reads it!

-Company Commander info-
Name: Tavio Archer
Age: 37
Gender: Male
Rank: Captain
Background: After the events chronicled in "Chosen" (see link below), Tavio was gathered up with the rest of the Bridonian troops by supporting elements of the Azurian Guard (planetary defence forces) deployed to the Duskwood region. From the time they were loaded onto the troop transport and flown at high speed across land and sea, the northerners were ministered to by Shepherds of the Church of Terra. This helped to ease the transition into contemporary society and eventual Imperial service through sermons aimed at reinforcing their faith in the Emperor and emphasising their more direct service to the Imperium.

Tavio showed commendable leadership skills during his training and once he had completed Basic Military Training, Basic Guard Training, and Basic Occupational Training, he was granted admission into the Imperial War College, graduating as a Lieutenant. He was assigned to the Persican 498th Black Lance (Mechanised Infantry) which, upon mustering, was immediately deployed to Cadia. Leading the 8th Platoon, 10th Company, Tavio saw a great deal of action at Kasr Sonnen. Attrition was brutal, but Tavio managed to survive and lead his decimated Company after the death of Captain Connemar Ramos. The remainder of the Lance was returned to Persica and Fortress Telamon. Those not permanently disabled or killed by their injuries en route were reassigned to the Persican 501st Black Lance, which had recently been commissioned.

The 501st was assigned to join the fight against the orkish Overfiend of Octarius, spinward of Badab in the Ultima Segmentum. Predictably, attrition wore down the Black Lance and the remnants were headed home to begin the cycle anew. En route, they were diverted to Pan Arcadia, assigned to augment the Segmentian 557th. Tavio Archer has risen to the rank of Captain and leads what is left of the 3rd Company of the Persican 501st Black Lance.

Physical description: Tavio stands 5'10" (178cm) and is quite fit and leanly muscled. His left arm from the elbow and his hand were lost on Cadia and replaced with a bionic limb. He has very close-cropped copper hair and grey eyes.

Timberfox-pattern Chimera
Manufactured on the forge world Ziniger in the Benelith Sector and similar to the Mars-pattern Chimera, with the following variations.
Armament: Turret-mounted heavy bolter, hull-mounted heavy flamer, lasgun ports (x6)
Equipment: Extra front armour (standard) or dozer blade (variant), track guards, camo netting, searchlight
Capacity: Twelve, plus driver.

And also a short story that gives some insight into Persica and Tavio Archer: Chosen
And my thanks to anyone who takes the time to read it!

One question though............. did you ever write about the brothers reunion?

by **Drakulstan** » Tue May 06, 2014 12:44 am

If my current company is demolished, my next one will be a company of Praetorians. Because the opportunity to RP them just makes me grin and chuckle far too much.

As a matter of fact, I have the outline written up for exactly that.
