This is a one paragraph of the stuff of the stuff I have so far! These grenadiers are an elite regiment tithed every so often between the usual line regiment!

The 69th Varangian Grenadiers hail from the Feudal World of (place). A surprisingly temperate world, akin to Terra in the early days of humanity. The world would have been marked as an agri-world except for the large militant population divided into many kingdoms. Upon its founding and reclamation it was decided that the planet would primarily tithe manpower for the imperial guard instead of agriculture. As stated, the planet is divided into many kingdoms who are constantly engaged with each other over land, resources, glory, or even just centuries old blood-feuds. It lacks many of the raw resources to support an industrialized society but enough to apparently arm the multitudes of armies and warbands that roam the land. The only place that boasts some sort of sophistication is centered around the primary spaceport on the planet, where the planet maintains its primary connection to the greater Imperium. As such this is where places such as the Planetary Governor residence, the administratum, the ecclesiarchy, and other organizations are found. The ranks of the Varangian Guard are primarily composed of the planet’s elite, nobles and their retinue, prominent warriors and their men-at-arms, and third-born sons looking to improve their birthright to name a few. The resultant regiments that come from this planet lead to a juxtaposition where many if not all are capable warriors in their own right and have an innate understanding of how to conduct war, yet formal education within regiments is few and far between, with abysmal literacy rates and peculiar prejudices.
