Authorized by Congress in 1866 and activated on November 1, 1869, the 24th Infantry Regiment was one of four all-black regiments created after the Civil War. The unit remained composed of black enlisted men and mostly white officers until 1951 when it was disbanded during the Korean War after claims of dissent and cowardice were made against the unit due to the race of the enlisted men.

103rd Patrochan Heavy Infanty 'The Black Collars'
The world of Patroch is home to a population of serious, dedicated workers who value good craftsmanship and industrious production little less than the Adeptus Mechanicus. Though all Patrochan goods are of excellent make, they are best known for a unique pattern of carapace breastplate, built with a reinforced gorget and alloyed with certain dense ores that found on few other worlds. All regiments tithed from Patroch find their soldiers outfitted with these fine cuirasses, and the time of a tithing sees a great frenzy of production as the necessary armor is produced.
The title of the 103rd Heavy Infantry comes from a notorious incident in the regiment's original founding, when a fault in the smelting process stained the gorgets across entire line of breastplates an inky black. The regiment was called to service before the armor could be reproduced, and prosecuted their campaign with an exemplary record and remarkably few casualties. Over the many centuries since this first incident, the 103rd has been re-founded as necessary, and with each Founding, their armor has the gorgets dyed black in honor of the armor that served so well in times past.

Further Notes: This is a regiment designed to keep the players alive and intact a little more than usual. The extra armor and the Willpower aptitude should help with both physical and mental hardiness, while the rest of the equipment reflects their planet's inclination towards doing things thoroughly, including outfitting their regiments. Good, solid, dependable equipment--plus, the Auspex makes technical characters like an Operator useful even when the Squad has no vehicle assigned to them. The weapons were chosen for being able to engage light vehicles and heavier infantry, the sorts of opponents a Squad might have difficulty with but still be expected to overcome. They also are powerful without risking being overly strong in the hands of a starting Weapons Specialist or Heavy Gunner.
