I've been mulling this idea over in my head for a while, and I really lilke the idea of an all-female IG regiment. Mind you, not the huge-knockered, junk-in-the-trunk standard females that geeks drool over, but much more average, athletic females.
This is what began the project.
-=THE VALKYRIES=-
The Valkyries are currently based out of a planet known as Amazon.
Amazon once housed a prison colony. It was chosen for its location due to remoteness and the fact that extraordinarily dangerous and aggressive wildlife would kill any escapees before they got very far beyond the walls. However, once the colony was established, an anomaly was detected in the planet's electromagnetic field- Roughly only 5% (1 in 20) of children born there were male due to strange frequencies that interrupted the growth process of the embryo, causing almost all to grow female. Soon, the colony was completely female dominated- Almost all civilians, guards, personnel, and even prisoners were female after just a few generations. The imperium abandoned the planet, leaving the fledgling hives behind to fend for themselves. They took with them the prison, removing the only reason for the Imperium to even care about the planet.
The society, however, flourished. Men became known merely as "drones"- Their only purpose being used by the women to mate. Otherwise, they were well taken care of, sometimes even being fought over by rival female rulers, attempting to control the amount of men available to increase the size of their party. Only women with suitable genes would be allowed to bear children- Those who were especially strong or intelligent. Eventually, they moved beyond the crumbling hive walls and out into the wilderness, using the forges and factories of the Imperial structures to manufacture weapons and armor to protect themselves, establishing new colonies in the unforgiving wilderness. This created an extremely hardy race of people, and when the Imperium returned due to reports of thriving human populations on the plant, they immediattely offered the Amazons the opportunity to join the Imperial Guard under their own regiment- the Valkyries.
They now serve the same as any other Guard regiment, fighting fiercely beside Valhallans, Cadians, Catachans, and many others in humanity's desperate struggle for survival.
