Disclosure: Voluntary
I would not undergo the rites sacred to them, I did not participate in
their training as they would only be hampered by this ill-received
camaraderie, for the 7th are a band of Veterans. They received me the best
they knew how, for life amongst the 7th is no different than the life
amongst the Forge Dregs, the numerous Menials that wake with the
ringing of the great alarm, and only go to rest with the ringing of
another.
They live in conditions that are as harsh as the frontlines of the
battlefield, with the few creature comforts we on Perdition IV enjoy semi-
regularly, either banned outright or heavily regulated, for they are
warriors of faith, fire, and steel. Those who drink, do so with the prospect
of easing past battles on their memories. The few who spoke to me, did so
about their great losses to the Green Tide, their defense of a planet not
their own had cost them many times more than the casualties we suffered
dealt by Sepertatist hands. They are a regiment with a great emphasis on
Honor, Duty, Respect, and Discipline. They tell me of a world called
Stonwall, a bastion of Imperial Faith, where just enough grows and people
are happy, where there are tough times but Faith always comes through.
They tell me not about themselves, who they’ve given to the emperor’s
service out of piety, but of their home of that which we called them away
from. And, like the other various Imperial Guard regiments that
answered our calls for help, they expect nothing from us but the support
needed to complete a righteous task.
They treat me as an outsider, not out of hate, or even
misunderstanding, but because of the understanding that I am one of the
people they are summoned to defend. They are giving their all, dressed in
regalia that demonstrates their heritage in thick or thin, and armed
with their faith that this is the righteous task.
Like those of us on Perdition IV, the 7th are made up of many people that
come from all walks of life, and while their vocation is war and
bloodshed, they are neither our foe nor marauders, but our sworn ally.
There may be times when the lives of those who call Perdition IV home are
lost, where our homes are destroyed or our fields trampled, but that is
the debt we were forced to take on by the Separatists. The Imperial Guard
only wishes to ease that debt as quickly and easily as possible, many wish
there was no need to fight, but know that it is their duty to do so.
This has been Field Reporter Tomas Watts, and I send the best from the
Frontlines of the 7th.
