Praesidii Variations
Having sourced themselves from various planetary cultures, the Praesidium Guard Regiments at the disposal of the Novus Regna are influenced by the practices of their local Reserve arms. Proposals to unify the practices of the Regiments and Reserves have been vetoed by at least a third of all involved with the matters.
Classifications
For the simplicity of regimental designation and classification, the origin worlds of the various Praesidium Guard Regiments are noted within their regimental number. When regiments have been lost, destroyed or otherwise reformed, regimental numbers have been reused and the legacy of former regiments is typically held by the newer formation.
While there is some overlap with the Imperial Classifications, these are coincidental in nature as Imperial assignment utilised a different guideline.
Osmertan Guard - Prefix 1
Considered the stereotypical Praesidium Regiments, the Osmertan Guards laid the standard doctrine for the wider kingdom. They are almost completely composed of mechanised and armoured forces, using this mobility and protection to be more brazen in seizing the initiative of any engagements.
Referencing Praesidium Osmerta specifically, the sources of the Osmertan Guard are from all the Praesidium worlds. Osmerta was simply chosen due to the spiritual significance of the Saint.
Daevus Guard - Prefix 2
The Daevus have adapted the mechanised warfare principles laid out by the Osmertans and refined it towards Urbanised warfare, with a preference towards defensive actions. Armoured elements are utilised more akin to mobile hard points which allow for reactive actions to reinforce focal points.
Their defensive preference has also been displayed in their adoption of new equipment, with the Dormarth being seen as inferior to the Leman Russ.
Haddiran Guard - Prefix 3
Using the alternative name of the Haddirian Yeomen, they are formed from the Reservists of Haddir Gir. Predominantly sourced form Clan Zethar due to sheer size, the Yeomen are specialist light infantry with experience with reconnaissance and skirmishing as well as infiltration and extender period independent deployments. Their armoured contingent used to be significantly smaller but have seen a recent swelling after the adoption of the Dormath family of vehicles.
Legacy Guard - Prefix 0
As a side effect of regimental restructuring, many formations were left after the Nova Banner Crisis and Novus Regna formation. Instead of looking to override their history, they were universally given the numerical prefix 0 to initiate this history within the Imperium.
The members of these formations weren’t active during the Imperial era instead they were often reformed into a specialist element for the Guard, sourcing recruits from the veterans of other regiments.
Anticipated Regimental Formations
With the expanding borders of the Novus Regna, there have been administrative preparations for the organisation of new Regimental designations. These include
Periita Guard - Prefix 4
Artificer Guard - Prefix 5
Malagastian Guard - Prefix 6
Makabians - Prefix 7*
Kikreth - Prefix 7*
*Due to the unknown state of what may result from integration of Sv’vaden into the Novus Regna, Makabians and Kikreth have been assigned the same designation.
