The Ilmanii guard have a history that stretches back to the colonization of Illmane. They are fabled to be the Emperor Titus first Militia Unit back when he was a captain. Since then they have evolved into a larger more disciplined professional force. They live by a warriors code, strict rules of Engagement and Conduct as well as oversight from the Senate.
By the time of the second Xeno purge of Illmane the Ilmmanii Guard had assimilated some of the best warriors of the day into their ranks. They frequently cherry pick experienced commanders and Veteran Legionaries close to retirement to serve in their ranks. Their only and sole responsibility since their inception has been to guard Illmane against Invasion.
