Homer-a-Day, Day 12: Paris
XXI. Paris Air Defense Artillery Regiment
For good or ill, the regiment is more associated with the failings of its commanding officers than with the impressive qualities of its soldiers. Drawn from the innumerable scions of the endlessly branching side lines of the planetary royal houses, the soldiers of the XXI. excel not only as air defense crews but also in using their Hydras’ cannon in directly engaging enemy armour over open sights at great risk to themselves and their vehicles. Such skill and bravery, however, make less of an impression on the high command and adepts than do the shortsighted, careless, even frivolous and wholly unauthorised actions of the regiment’s commanders, which have resulted more than once in strategic setbacks of staggering magnitude. The regimental leadership’s standing and connections and their claims of divine predestination have so far protected them from any personal consequences.

Homer-a-Day – one Homer inspired Warhammer 40,000 article per day, for one month. Pure hubris, incited when a stroll through our own archives led first to reexamining the Odysseus Pattern Astartes Greatbow and then to the exchange quoted above.
Don’t uncork what you can’t contain.
