Fiction:Imperial Mendel Loyalists

"It has become abundantly clear that, given the threat posed by alien "warrior races", such as the Mendel and others native to the galaxy, we must have forces and resources ready to counter them, and to overwhelm the forces of the Republic and their pathetic Resistance. Hence, it becomes necessary for the Eternal Emperor to create Platoon 44 to carry out any missions he so desires."

- Savis Crevix, writing on the importance of Platoon 44.

Platoon 44, or known by its official name as "Imperial Special Forces Detachment dedicated to the Removal of all Rebellious elements Platoon 0044", is a special forces unit armed, prepared and used by the to execute it's will, and, most importantly take the fight to certain races designated for removal, such as the Mendel of Mirus, or the ever troublesome  of Cyrannus, as well as any other Resistance elements that get in the way, such as the eponymous Cyrandia Resistance, the New Republic's own forces or anyone who opposes the vision of the Emperor, Tyrómairon. Formed from special forces of the Imperial Commandos, a hold over from the Old Republic, and Mendel Warriors loyal to and his Clan, Platoon 44 was created to not only hamstring Mendel and Republic operations, but deal with any "warrior" races that may trouble Imperial operations.

Since its creation, the platoon travels aboard a small but highly advanced and dangerous fleet, mostly of Mendel origin, but also made up of some Imperial forces, centered around the Imperator Star Destroyer "The Prosecutor". It's leaders, Inquisitor Savis Crevix, Clan Lord Chokuto Gredyc and Captain Martz, all are intelligent, cunning leaders, each leading the Platoon in their own ways, and providing direction to them to constantly hamstring and harass their foes.

Once there, they will be mixed together with the Mendel forces into an elite Special forces unit I have christened Platoon 44. From hence forth, you two have my express permission to prosecute this war by any means necessary. Not just Mendel, but Cyrandian Resistance, New Republic forces, any extra-galactics or inter-galactics, will be sundered by this group. No mercy for those that stand in the way of the Empire, understand?"
