Imperial Guard

The Imperial Guardsman, as the name suggests, acts as the Guard of the outpost. Listen to your Commissar and do not question him, praise the God-Emperor, and protect the Outpost from Xenos and heretical scum.

You report directly to the station Commissars, who are likely to be extremely abusive towards you.

Guide to Imperial Guard Success
As a simple Guardsman, you are the backbone of the Imperium, fighting against the unyielding enemies of the Emperor.

As a common soldier, you do not know the exact names of the various traitor legions that may assault the station. You will likely know they are hostile, since things that are big and red, or big brained and fireball throwing are unlikely to be your friends. Still, since you probably know the specific names of these antagonists OOC, you do not IC. Knowing the specifics will likely get you interrogated and turned into a servitor by a competent Inquisitor, alongside a potential admin OOC reminder to not blurt out "1000 SON IN BOTANY!"

What would the average guardsman know about the threats he faces?
The average guardsmen would know little to nothing about the various xenos threats that exist throughout the galaxy (I will allow knowledge of one xenos faction if you justify it with a backstory or something) This means do not go around naming specific Tyranids, don't yell out, oh GOD KHORNE BERSERKERS! Even Cadians aren't educated on what daemons are, or even know that they're literal daemons. No, you don't know what Chaos is, but you do know that some guy carving strange sigils into the floor with his blood and feces is heretical and dangerous. Just say enemy xenos or unknown hostile! Leave the naming to the higher educated roles, such as the Inquisitors and Magos.
