The Svard 1st Expeditionary is an infantry regiment raised from Svard's planetary defense force. Fearing the worst in the days before the ork invasion of Dameris, the leadership of Svard called togeather all of it's combat veterans, and assembled an regiment's strength of men to be sent off world to try and end the threat, least the orks head for their homeworld of Svard next.
Although they are not particularly well trained, nor well equipped, the Svard 1st does have the distinction of having survied a decade of the Whisperer's attacks, ensuring that only the strongest, most dedcated minds continue to serve. As such, what they lack in martial resiliance, they make up for with mental resiliance.

These penalties can be waived at the GM's discretion if the death worlders are dealing with those who have earned their trust
