Veletaris Storm Section

The Veletaris Storm Section was the hardened veteran core of every Solar Auxilia cohort, its soldiers drawn from those who had survived campaigns that annihilated whole levies and emerged colder, steadier, and deadlier for it. Where the lasrifle sections held the line, the Veletaris broke the enemy's, storming strongpoints and boarding hostile vessels with a ferocity leavened by decades of discipline. They carried a cohort's most prized wargear, the volkite charger foremost among it, a searing energy weapon that boiled ranks of foes to ash and left the survivors to flee a wall of light. Clad in heavier plate than their line comrades and drilled in the brutal arts of the void assault, a single section could hold a breach against odds that would overwhelm a company of ordinary troops. To be raised to the Veletaris was the highest honour a common Auxilia soldier could earn, and those who bore its markings were the living memory of a cohort's every hard-won victory.
