The Apocrypha Guard are a specialized regiment of little-known Inquisitorial Storm Troopers with the sole duty of protecting and retrieving dangerous artifacts for the Ordo Malleus Starfort known as the Arce Secretorum. While small in number, composed of roughly over 1,000 courageous men and women drawn from all over the Imperium, the Apocrypha Guard make up for their lack in numbers in sheer efficiency and determination that has put other Storm Trooper regiments to shame. In fact, the "Arce-Borne" are are one of the few regiments of the Imperial Guard specifically trained to fight the Daemonic, and thus are armed and armored with some of the most potent wargear the Ordo Malleus can provide.
