The Ecliptic Swords earned their name from their tactics, strike when darkness is present. Most Imperial Guard commanders find their tactics strange, instead of meatgrinders, tactical strikes against key positions, instead of seiges, silents air assaults from stormtroopers that erode the enemys core. Although this is not contriversal, their technology is near the point of heresy. They employ technology created outside of the blueprints of old, and have created new and deadly weapons, that do not follow the traditions of the Adeptus Mechanicus.
It is for this reason that the world of Halividian has small yet elite regiments, consisted of highly trained veterans and stormtroopers armed with high tech weaponry so that they may better defeat their enemies. But this by no means that they are limited to small battles, when the enemies war machine is great, The Ecliptic Swords answer with a bigger one. Halividian is home to a great tank manufacturing plant that produces hundreds of high quality tanks on a daily basis. They are the planets main scource of trade, exchanging with many notable worlds, including Cadia when it is required. Many tanks and Aircraft support the small elite squads when they march into battle, and their old blueprints are the only reason the world has not been tried with techno heresy.
