The system’s four most famous regiments are all heavily present here and the most well known among those is the 101st Maccabian Janissaries “Hellfires”, the largest regiment on the planet. Currently considered an oversized regiment, they are unable to leave the city of Harvest in any reasonable number due to a shortage of command staff. The Hellfires are the remaining single regiment of the ten Janissary regiments that began the war on Laramie’s Hope. They earned their nickname due to their actions on Laramie's Hope, where without support, they began landing to immediately start battling Chaos forces. Currently numbered at thirteen thousand men, three thousand over their standard regiment size, the Janissaries handle guard duties throughout the city and any jobs they can. Their commander, Major Germael Farkis, is second in overall command and usually gives missions handed down from Colonel Everly of the Steel Legion. Like all Janissaries, he can be hard to tell apart, though Janissaries know their commander at a glance. Many usually either look for the purity seals or rank insignia to know they need to salute.
165th Armored Tallarn Desert Raiders, “The Sand Sharks”, are famed for their ambush tactics. Tallarn of multiple regiments are common across the planet; however, the Sand Sharks are commonly seen in the city. Reporting to Captain Senja Kassab, the head of the Imperial Guards intelligence gathering, her reports and information gathering is obtained by those common unfortunates that lost their tanks, whether by sabotage, combat, or reassignment.

87th Mordian Iron Guard “Nevermores” are famed in the city for the fact that they are not only the smallest ‘regiment’ of the four, but they are also known for being the most by the books regiment. Many also view serving with them or being assigned joint operations with them as a death sentence. As such, they are viewed with a certain respect and avoided for the rumors of ill omen that their near constant decimation brought them.
The final member of the four are the 787th Armageddon Steel Legion “Hellborn”. With Colonel Quentin Everly being in command of the overall Guard position, their vehicles and soldiers are a common sight to be rolling in and out of the gates. They are noted for their higher than average quantity of eccentric and outlandish personalities, as well as their loose definition of "regulation dress code". This has led to multiple conflicts with other regiments, especially the Janissaries.
