| |
| − | | |
| − | The Bulk of the crew & officers have been recruited on Junker Binary, a dust ball of a remote imperial world in the Drusus Marches. Like their ancestor of the 112th Teuton Imperial Guard Regiment, these people are reputed for their austere faith and demeanor as well the military aspect of their everyday life. Most imperial worlds have a military force. On Junker Binary, the military force happens to have a planet.
