Overview
The world is well-known for its small but hardy population, famous for its vicious fighters. Attempts had been made to form a Guard regiment there, but the Vessorine are hard to control. The main problem was not a lack of discipline, but just their limited viewpoint: they found loyalty to Terra too cerebral a concept. They are bonded into clan-families, understanding simply the material wealth of land, property, homestead and weapons. As mercenaries, therefore, they excel. They would fight, peerlessly, savagely and to the death, in the Emperor's name, provided that name was stamped on high-denomination coinage. Generally, Vessorine troops are known under the denomination of Vessorine Jannissaries; since they are famously hardy, they are known to go without food or water for days when battle demands it. Moreover, the Vessorines are born with an unusually high frequency of Untouchables, so that psychic resistance is well-established and trained in them. In fact, part of their martial training consists in learning methods of resisting various forms of interrogation.[Needs Citation]
A full clan of Vessorine Jannissaries (around 800 men) was hired by the reborn Pontius Glaw to kill Inquisitor Gregor Eisenhorn.[1]
