Catachan Jungle Fighters

The Catachan Jungle Fighters make up imperial guard regiments from the death world of Catachan.

Catachan is renowned as one of the most inhospitable death worlds in the imperium with but one useful resource- soldiers. Every native creature is hostile to the human colonists and even some of the plants are intent in driving away the invaders. Half of all infants die before they can walk. Anouther half die perish before they see their tenth year. Only the strongest genes survive and natural selection forces the population to be incredibaly strong, tough and loyal to one anouther.
