	~~=== MAJOR UPDATE – CRUSADE FORCES AND NEW SALIENTS ===~~

	~~==== The Loyal One Hundred ====~~

	Only a few of the worlds in the Prosperitas Sector have suitable population densities to pay Crusade tithes in any reasonable fashion - most provide a slow trickle of recruits to existing regiments and new Foundings have been slow to be risen to replace the regiments destroyed over the course of the Crusade. Most worlds of the sector simply cannot sustain the population loss associated with a founding, and remain productive.

	As part of her investment in the post of Warmaster, Khan has reinforced the Crusade with seven new regiments - bringing the total number of regiments fighting for the Crusade to one hundred. Such a founding is unprecedented, and that it has been accomplished is no mean feat of the Departmento Munitorum to undertake in the months they have had to enact such an order. These ‘shinies’ are a combination of void-born detritus, a hodge-podge assembled from multiple near-destroyed regiments pulled from distant frontiers, and four fresh Foundings from the core worlds of the Prosperitas Sector.

	In truth, there are now arguably over one hundred regiments in the Sector, but the auxillia regiments of [[Abhumans]] are not traditionally counted as ‘Imperial Guard’ for the purposes of accounting.

	~~==== Other Forces ====~~

	With the ongoing Ecclesiarchy civil conflict regarding the apostate Cardinal Grulge, the Battle Sisters of the [[Order of His Sanguine Tears]] find themselves hard-pressed to meaningfully contribute to the [[Prosperitas Crusade]] in any more than small numbers. Forced to pursue their primary duties as defenders of the Faith, their forces are tied up protecting priests from renegade members of the Fidelis Templar, and otherwise prosecuting that internal ecclesiarchy conflict to unseat the renegade Cardinal.

	The [[Astartes]] of the [[Void Hounds]] and [[Sable Knives]] are more reliable allies, though the latter seems to studiously avoid warfronts where the savage Hounds deploy their forces. Either through rivalry or some unknown history it seems the [[Sable Knives]] are in no rush to meet their fellow Astartes on the battlefield, or otherwise. Neither Chapter seems to be present in significant enough numbers to deploy an awe-inspiring battle company, but even a squad of such warriors serves as a vital asset in these dark times.

	The Taghmata Omnissiah the fighting forces of the [[Adeptus Mechanicus]], seem oddly focused upon the planet of [[Henlock]] where most of their forces are currently focused against the Sovereign Order and its Dark Mechanicus supporters, and nothing seems to be able to draw them away.

	On the spinward side of the front in [[Subsector Secundus]], the Hydro Salient has yet to really taste the full brunt of the Archenemy forces deployed by the Sovereign Order, thanks to the mysterious intervention of unknown forces at [[Lerwick[[. Its commanders do their best to prepare for the inevitable assault, with warp-routes to the vital agri-world of Midsummer, and the recovering agri-world of [[~~Persephone~~ IV]], it is imperative that they do not falter.		On the spinward side of the front in [[Subsector Secundus]], the Hydro Salient has yet to really taste the full brunt of the [[Archenemy]] forces deployed by the Sovereign Order, thanks to the mysterious intervention of unknown forces at [[Lerwick]]. Its commanders do their best to prepare for the inevitable assault, with warp-routes to the vital agri-world of [[Midsummer]], and the recovering agri-world of [[Persephon IV]], it is imperative that they do not falter.

	Command of the Salient falls to Vice-Admiral Rycus Frolan, a Naval officer of classic breeding, who straddles the line between the Traditionalist factions of the Crusade, and the newer philosophies of officers like Warmaster Khan. Frolan fancies himself a warrior philosopher, and has dedicated his life to revisiting the great works of the Imperial military. Of all the Salient commanders, he is the most ambitious, and would dearly love to be warmaster one day. By reputation, Frolan favours more traditional troops formations, and his command contains a higher-than-average number of Line Infantry regiments, alongside supporting carrier vessels to give him air superiority above a planet. Because of the higher-than-average occurrence of rebellion in the theatre, and the Rising Flame activity in the region however, Frolan has been forced to adopt counter-insurgency forces, and often liaises with the Battle Sisters of the Order of his Sanguine Tears for support on this end, given his theatre’s removal from the current Ecclesiarchy conflict.

	Hydros’s command is anchored around Persephon IV, slowly stripping Crusade forces off the world as cleanup of the Greenskin invasion rolls to a slow close. The majority of these forces are bound for the fighting at Lerwick, where Rising Flame rebellion and Archenemy forces split the planet - some are sent as expeditionary forces to investigate the space around the frontier worlds of Macharion XIV and Mawson’s Wake, hunting for pirate fleets that periodically raid other worlds in this sector.

	The majority of fighting in this theatre is centered around the ongoing conflict on Lerwick, but its forces still see activity fighting off pirates of human, Ork and other xenos nature, and Persephon IV serves as a perfect testing ground for regiments in supporting the ongoing cleanup of the remnants of the Ork invasion there.
