Default Help with the Novellette

Some questions for you all.

If you want to be involved (As a character, I'm too deep now for writing help, sorry!) please tell me your preferred race here, and races you'd hate to be.

Baron von Lexus, can you give me a full organization chart, or description, of the 501st Death Korps? Cheers.

Erus, I need fluff for your Grand Company of EC, and squad make-up, etc.

Also, I need people to be cannon fodder (Sorry, but people die in the grim darkness of the far future). Tell me if you don't mind.

Should I just post it here? or would you want me to PM it to you. And I'm happy to see that the 501st will be featured more extensively than I first thought in this.

Happy to help.
Baron

Well, I'm thinking of making the 501st the staple of the fleet the main characters will travel with.

And post it, please. I don't want to lose it accidentally in my PM inbox, I regularly clear it out

I'd be imperial, but only if I could die gloriously saving my battle brethren. Other than that, let me die a traitor's death, Chaos ftw!

Raised on Krieg 248.M41 only 300 Years after the end of the Revolt of Krieg and Colonel Jurten’s famous victory, the 501st was raised by Munitorum Tithe from Hive Ferrograd, the loyalist base on Krieg during the revolt. The 501st has a long history throughout the 41st Millennium and has taken part in multiple crusades and many campaigns. The 501st fought with distinction during the 3rd War for Armageddon at Helsreach and Hades Hive during the darkest hours of the war. After the Armageddon campaign the army was brought back to full strength and attached to the Black Templars Lothar Kroh Crusade as the bulk of Kampfgruppe Edelweiss along with other Imperial regiments. The next major engagement was the Cleansing of Geist in the final days of M41. Requisitioned by Lord Inquisitor Baron Johann Dietrich von Lexus (Jürgen Ulrich von Lexus’s brother) as part of the Kroh Crusade the 501st was employed to return Geist to Imperial hands in less than a year. The next stop for the Kroh Crusade and the 501st was Medusa V. Operating under the command of the Lord Inquisitor once again; the Kroh Crusade played a vital role in the defense of Hive Sybilla Primus and Hydra zone as a whole. After the Imperial Victory on Medusa V the Kroh Crusade was dispatched to help reclaim the world of Valdenheim where they struggle to fight off Chaos, Orks, and Rebels.
