Argena 2nd “Silvered Bullets”

“The plan? We rush them like we always do.”

–Sergeant Maximilian
The Schola Progenium regiment known as the Silvered Bullets are famous
for their direct approach to war. For them there is really only one main
tactic, to rush the enemy with shotguns ready. It doesn’t always work but
they do know when to employ the tactic and has a good track-record. Unlike
most Tempest troops they do not use hot-shot las-weaponry but instead
favour solid projectile weaponry or, when available, bolt weapons.
This is due to their main Drill abbot “Old Silver” who does not believe in las-
weapons being too effective. Old Silver may be an odd character but he is a
good drill abbot none the less and the Argena 2nd are some of the best
marksmen ever to hold shotguns.
