===The Line Troops===

====Captain Benedict van der Stelt====

"We are the best there is, and it is time to let the galaxy know it."

An intense, wiry man, Captain van der Stelt has high exceptations of both himself and his troops. He is determined not only to succeed but to excel in the coming assigments, and show the rest of the Imperial Guard, the rest of the Imperium, and the rest of the galaxy what the Caleans can accomplish.

He is the first to volunteeer his company for ''anything''.

And he is not much for motivational speeches. He assumes that example alone will suffice to make his troops just as driven to succeed as he is.

====Lieutenant Mercedes "No Mercy" Nocturne====

A fit woman with her blonde hair in a bun, the fact that she hails from her home nation's navy rather than ground forces has made some troopers concerned. But Lieutenant Nocturne has shown herself to be a capable commander no stranger to infantry warfare.

Somewhat easygoing as an officer, Lieutenant Nocturne prefers not to micromanage and usually lets her platoon handle things as they see fit, as long as everything important gets done to her satisfaction. But that is out of combat. There is nothing easygoing about her when fighting starts. Then she is all fire and steel and expects her commands to be obeyed without failure or hesitation.

====Sergeant Aric Sjurssen====

The youthful-looking Sergeant Sjurssen is not much different from the other troopers. Not bigger or stronger than the others. Not more charismatic or stronger of will than the others. Not more accurate or better in a fight than the others. No, the reason that he got the sergeant's stripes is that besides the Storm Trooper, he is the only one who has studied the Tactica Imperialis.

Keenly aware of the fact that he got his position just because he happened to read about Imperial tactics, Sergeant Sjurssen is careful in his role. He obeys his superiors without a second thought, assuming that they have a better grasp of the tactical situation. He focuses on keeping the squad together and - unless his tactical opinion is asked - lets his squad accomplish the objectives in any way they see fit, assuming that they know how to use their specialist skills better than he does.

===="Obscene" Octavia Loret, Vox Operator====

One of the physically smallest people in the company and definitely smallest in the platoon, the dark skinned and darker haired trooper Loret seems like an odd person to carry the backpack-sized vox unit until you learn that she was in her home nation's electronic warfare unit. Besides, she is extremely tenacious and carries her vox unit without complaining or lagging behind. Although the fact that she is sometimes out of breath to the point that she is almost panting when the time comes to stop and make contact is what gave Obscene Octavia her nickname. During the final training, when she had just panted her report to the company command after a rapid advance through difficult terrain, after ending the vox contact she made her immortal comment: "I was so out of breath that I felt like I was making an obscene call!"
