711TH REGIMENT
The 711th Snow Deer was constituted as the 507th Neusattran Infantry Battalion during the Barlat War, as the conflict intensified and the Axis began to suffer manpower shortages.
Deployed to Terra to replace losses on the ground there, it fought alongside the forces of the UA when they defected to the Axis, holding off a renewed Concordiat offensive until the end of the war. The unit was one of many that fought in the Keystone Campaign, engaged primarily in siege operations on one of the system moons and suffering moderate losses. During the Botas Reforms of 2486 AT, the regiment was renamed the Snow Deer regiment after the large cervid found on Neusattar. Their regimental parade colours are white and brown. Assigned to the Ancerious Galaxy, they formed a strategic fleet reserve during the Sarnath Campaign. At the Second Battle over Marchand they were deployed in operations to clear allied fleets of boarders and, despite heavy losses, were successful. Charlie Company was garrisoning the system of Whitewharf when it was attacked by Justicars of the Veronis Tribunal. Suffering heavy losses, the company was nevertheless able to hold the spaceport for nearly an hour against overwhelming enemy forces, enabling thousands of civilians to evacuate before themselves withdrawing with only 30 effectives and another 30 wounded.
