Zephyrus Drop Regiments

"What we do is crazy, suicidal, and in some cases downright stupid, but someones gotta do it."

- Unknown Zephyrus Drop Trooper

A single regiment of one-thousand suicidally brave guardsmen, the Zephyrus Drop Regiment is responsible for securing objectives and holding dangerous objectives that from any other angle would be impossible to approach, let alone attack. Yet, somehow, the Zephyrus Drop Regiment always manages to pull through, no matter the risk, making their name synonymous with dauntless, and in some cases stupid, bravery in the face of danger.

Culture
The Zephyrus Regiment hails from a Hive-World from the same name, a unique world among the planet's within the Imperium's dominion. Due to it's moon having a erratic, fluctuating orbit around the planet, Zephyrus is constantly wracked with dangerous floods and earthquakes. As a result, the native Zephyrians live in massive floating hive cities, held aloft by massive propellers, enormous gas-filled bags, and in some cases even anti-gravity generators. However, one good thing that came about was the Zephyran's natural love of competition resulted in games of skydiving, gliding, and other arial sports. Because of this, the Zephyrians are an athletic and energetic people, and the same goes for the Zephyrus Drop Regiment.

The Zephyrus Regiment is mainly characterized by a light-hearted sense of humor and casual attitude under laid with a strong sense of duty to the Imperium. While many have described them as "carefree", the truth is the Zephyrus Regiment has a long history of being deployed at the brunt of an assault, and thus are generally at peace with the fact that their lifespans are a matter of minutes on the battlefield.

Unfortunately, within the Zephyrus Drop Regiment exists a small minority of drop troopers who live for the adrenaline rush that come's with the drop insertions. Nicknamed "Junkies", these suicidal troopers are generally given a wide berth, although other Troopers will often bet wages on how long a Junky survives the next engagement. Most bets are settled in about a week's time.

Sex
The Zephyrus Drop Regiment accepts both men and women into it's ranks, although it should be noted that while the Zephyrians are fun-loving creatures at heart, very rarely do lasting relationships form between troopers, which is seen as all the better for the regiment as a whole.
