According to the Code of Battle, the basis of a Virocratic government is the individual - any individual. In Virocracy no one fights alone, for all soldiers are bound by common purpose, training and information. Those who embraced these bonds to the fullest were known as the Death Guard, for their dedication was unparalleled to any other army. Fearless and ruthless, their massed forces were able to take on more technologically advanced enemies, overcoming them with sheer numbers and faith - at least occassionally.
