Vitrian Dragoons

The Vitrian Dragoons are an Astra Militarum militarum regimento from the Desert World of Vitria. The Dragoons stem from a martial culture formed entirely around the Vitrian honour code, the Byhata, an ancient treatise on warfare. Every Vitrian Trooper carries their own copy of the Byhata on their person at all times, even into combat. Tradition states that the Byhata should be carried in a special pocket under the trooper’s armour, directly over their heart. Every copy of the Byhata is fitted with a lock that is gene-coded to the owner, so that only they may open the book. In the Vitrian culture, it is a capital offense for anyone other than a Vitrian to gain access to or read the Byhata. The Dragoons are a heavy infantry regiment and have a Storm Trooper mentality, constantly firing their las weapons on the highest setting, as it states in the Byhata that one should always strive to make the first hit the last one.
