Primary Recruitment from the planet Mornax, They excel at open terrain battles, like wastelands, deserts, shrublands, or Winter wastelands.
The 99th’s gear has adopted a brown and greyish coloration due to the environments they often find themselves. Typically accompanied with Grox leather due to the vicious environmental storms they encounter. Surprisingly the dark brown and grey of the of the 99ths uniforms works well in dark, damp hive cities.
The gear of the 99th is somewhat poor, they use autoguns because of price, some have lasguns but its not universal and their flak armor tends to be self mended or rundown but still effective.

Due to autoguns running out ammo unlike rechargeable lasguns packs, most members of the 99th take extensive time to hone their melee and hand to hand combat skills.
Other Moebians have given the 99th the nickname “Wastlelanders”, due to the often deployments outside of hive cities.
The 99th are good recon scouts, making them pretty renown marksmen amongst other Moebian regiments, they lack snipers due to funding though, but they can also dig in and hold the line as needed, setting traps for incoming enemies.
The “Mornax Hail” Strategy, made famous by the 99th, They unleash a non-stop wall of low-tech, high-velocity ballistics to tear apart advancing enemy waves, the enemy advance is slow by traps and trip wires that the 99th scouts known as the “Whispers” placed well before the initial battle began.
Recent reports from the 21st indicate that the 99th may have be sighted in the hourglass pushing traitors back.
The 99th have deployed with Tallarn, Valhallan, Vostroyan, and Various Moebian units, most commonly the 21st recon regiment, due to compatibility.
