Mexico

Mexico is an Imperial Forge World located in the Norfus System, within Sub-sector Lacerta. One of the oldest and largest Forge Worlds in Lacerta, Mexico produces untold billions of consumer and military articles per standard year.

Like most other Imperial Forge Worlds, the atmosphere of Mexico is choked with smog and pollution, and the crust of the world is riddled with mining tunnels and man-made caverns from millennia of local mining operations.

Mexican Guard
Imperial Guard Regiments reared from Mexico are clad in artisan black and silver Flak Armor, and are noted to meticulously maintain and even upgrade and customize their wargear. Because it increases their combat effectiveness and allows for greater versatility in countering enemies, this practice has the tacit approval of commanders but fearing charges of techno-heresy it is hidden from the larger Imperium and priesthood of Mars. For this reason, the Mexican Guard Regiments are typically only deployed to warzones within Lacerta, with the Imperial Tithes for Mexico supplied instead by a Hive World within the Norfus system.

Despite appearing slightly disorderly due to the variety of gear fielded, Mexican Regiments are extremely disciplined and well-trained, with generally better troop quality than their peers. The Mexico-Pattern Lasgun is noted to 'run hotter' than other Imperial Lasgun Patterns, increasing effective range and damage against armored targets at the cost of shots per powerpack.
