  1. The Tovi Line Infantry are one of the regiment types that blurs the lines between Navy and Guard forces, in this case the Tovi Line Infantry do not have a home planet where the Regiments are raised from, but are instead raised from the Fleet of infantry carriers. Each Tovi Line Company typically draws its heritage from one of the massive transports, each member often being distantly related to one another. Each Line Transport carries their families, their homes, and even their manufacturing, the Adeptus mechanicus offering licenses for the basic gear that is produced for the Regiments, although this makes it that no advanced weapons are used by the Regiments that are not heirloom or gifted to them. This has driven a sort of underground market amongst the troopers to aquire extra gear that is normally not available to them via trade with other regiments whenever they serve with another.

  3. When landing upon a planet, the vast majority of the troop lander is carrying them, but a small section is devoted to non combatants, often families of the troopers going into battle, this is considered one of the greatest honors if you are chosen to bring your family along, although it is highly dangerous. The troopers will scramble to establish a beachhead, fighting that much harder because they know that they are defending their families, who may just be a few hundred meters behind them. The troop transports are able to draw upon enough landers for them to be all deployed when a regiment lands, a tent city made up of colorful lights and music springing up around the landed craft as the families set up. This often draws off duty members of other regiments to their landing area to unwind and relax, many of them lighter of pockets afterwords, but greatly entertained. The tent cities are remarkably fast to pack up, bringing many other regiments to shame by the speed they will redeploy at.

  5. The Tovi Line Regiments wear brightly colored uniforms, often varying from trooper to trooper. Scarves, beads, and medallions hanging off of their uniforms, armor, backpacks, and weapons. They are a brightly assorted unit, which would bring a tightly dressed regiment to aneurysm. This is mainly cultural, and the belief that it scares off bad spirits if they dress this way. It does not affect their ability in battle, so it is tolerated by the Commissars who are attached to these regiments. Due to the lack of access to the more advanced gear that is called upon by other regiments, light support weapons generally fall under missile launchers or heavy stubbers, with the occasional longlas and grenade launcher to help out. As a line regiment, the motor pool outside of their troop landers mainly consist of trucks that have been armoured. These generally carry ammo and supplies up the lines.
