Hey everyone, after taking a bit of a break from Warhammer 40K, I finally found myself clawing my way back to my models begging them to take me back. Anyways, since I've just got back, I've decided the first thing to do was to rewrite my Guard's old history write up. Well, here it is, and I hope you like it. Any Criticism would be appreciated.

Known History of Ethera: Ethera was founded on 362.M36, according to local records, but lost contact from the Imperium in 549.M36 due to a warp anomaly. Contact was reestablished 419.M39 after the passing of this warp anomaly. Ethera was soon brought back into the folds of the Imperium soon after. However, a rebellion broke throughout the planet of the planetary tithe, the people found the tithe unacceptable. A dispute over the planetary tithe, and specifically the area of Imperial Recruitment, was the cause of this.
The people would not accept the thought of their citizens not being allowed to return home (Imperial Guard regiments are placed under control of the Departmento Munitorum). The High Consul unanimously and wisely condemned the rebellion. 3 Imperial Guard Regiments were dispatched to assist in restoring order. To help calm the populous, the Planetary Government subsidize the family of Imperial Guardsmen, providing for any, but not limited to children, spouses, and any other close relative of every soldier.
Now, Ethera is a valiant member of the Imperium, fighting the enemies of the Imperium with great honor and duty. They have provided thousands of vehicles, millions of men, and countless tons of supplies for the Imperial cause. Military service is not required, but considered a high honor on the planet, seen as a way of providing in the eyes of the populous.
Imperial Guard Recruitment: Ethera has raised over 501 regiments for the Departmento Munitorum, all having served, and serving all across the Imperium. The 499-501 Etheran Regiments were raised for the conflict of Medusa V, where they served valiantly and assisted in the recue of millions in a glorious victory against the Emperor’s enemies. Men all over the planet are recruited; all the provinces have provided a large number of men for the Imperial Guard.
It should be noted that a bulk of the recruits (approx 35%) come from the single province of Orrax. The people of this province take military honor to the extreme. Men are raised from a society hell bent on slaughtering the enemies of the Imperium. Hailing from a military society, every male citizen of age is immediately conscripted and sent to the PDF, and most eventually into the planetary tithe. The Orrax people are known for their ferocity in combat, and their high regard of honor. They’re high training has lead them to become and equivalent of Imperial Storm Troopers.
Regardless of which province these men hail from, the Etheran are known for their ferocity in combat, their loyalty, and their will (no matter how imposed) to take one step forward. What more could you ask?
