Solar Auxilia Officer Quest. A 30k Early Great Crusade quest.

Reader mode
[X] Plan: Elan!
-[X] Friends: The Golden Hegara
-[X] Rivals: 9th Viet Airmobile
-[X] Hate: 1st The Nord-Am First Lancers

How can we not make friends with the other regiment that has so whole-heartedly adopted their own elan to the point they're launching cavalry charges at man-made horrors beyond our comprehension?

Also a rivalry entirely based on axes vs. pikes would be funny, but I like seeing the variety of different Solar Auxilia regiments and cultures, so I rather prefer rivaling the Viets over the Scotts so we can extremely enthusiastically debate the virtues of heavy mechanization vs airmobile infantry.

Aside from the Scotts, all of these regiments are Imperial Army, not Solar Auxilia.
 
The Solar Auxilia are meant to be as good as the average Old Hundred, but be culturally agnostic and use technology that can be easily replicated.
 
could someone explain between imperial army / solar auxiliary and how they are not the same?

because at least at this point it time and context they seem to be?

The Imperial Army is the organization as a whole.

Solar Auxilia is a template of soldier which are within the Imperial Army. Its like how in 40k, a lot of regiments copy the Cadians. Just more centralized now with the Imperium finding compatible groups and going "This is how to make an Auxilia Cohort. Get to it."

that would kind of make sense if we where talking about off world / out of system troops. but these are troops from solar auxmenting Space mariens. so they are one and the same thing as whatever beginning "amry" is forming.

i know this already fairly AU
but i am pretty sure the "imperial army" started forming after the first conquests outside of sol happend. i of course could be very wrong.

Ah. Yes, the Solar Auxilia and the Terran army are the same. Its just the difference between equipment and doctrine.

The Imperial Army as an organization already existed, but it was after the conquest of the Solar System that it began to take the shape it would. Right now, Terra has fuckloads of soldiers. But most of the Terran Soldiery is still not unified or even patterned after the same doctrines. They are the armies of nation states being thrown out into the void to fight.

The Imperial Army Trooper, as a concept, that being a flak-vest wearing lasgun toting, professional soldier, exists but has not yet become a template to be applied to differing Imperial worlds. The Solar Auxilia can be seen as a prelude to this, being smaller in number and primarily focused on expeditionary expansionist warfare.

The Cohorts of the Solar Auxilia, for all that they can be structured for different battlefield roles, are going to be operating with the same organizational chart, are going to be using Void Armour and have the Lasrifle as their standard issue service weapon. An Imperial Army regiment can run the gamut from a pike and shot warband of gene-modded superhumans (or plain mutants), to Mechanicus-style cyborgs with computer-targeted guns that fire flechettes of crystallized industrial waste to a ex-street gang of seven thousand people that go into battle with an IV constantly feeding them combat drugs and kitbashed boltguns, and literally anything in between and beyond those options.
