ZealHeart Station

Imperial Guard Station
ZealHeart Station is a massive space station controlled by the Imperial Guard. It hosts the largest standing military in the Canis Asteropaios cluster, and is the primary training ground for all Imperial Guard in the area. It also hosts a massive standing fleet large enough to defent the entire sector if needed.

Every day, thousands of men and women from the Hive World Zutune are brought to this station for testing. Well over half die in the first day of training where they are put through a battle royal in the name of the emperor. Once the victors arise, the rest are recruited and put through such a physically demanding 2 year training program that only 10% of the remaining survivors make it to the end, the rest either dying or being dishonorably discharged, normally out of a Void-portal.

The remaining few become Guardsmen, the main troops of the Imperium and the Fist of the Emperor. For their sacrifice they are given the glory of fighting all manner of threats against the Imperium of man and dying in battle to the Glory of the God Emperor.
