Recruitment
As with all Imperial Regiments, recruitment is done on a planetary basis. which means that all members serving in a regiment are planetary residents of the same world. this in turn means that if any member were to move residence to a different world, they would have to be transferred to a different regiment.
outside of the planetary restrictions, all the regular requirements of imperial conscription and service applies: Imperial citizenship, minimum 16 years of age, of sound mind and body, height of no lower than 150cm and no higher than 210cm.

History
Honours
In the Imperial Military it is tradition that regiments keep track of all larger battles and military campaigns they have taken part in, especially the victories. These are collectively known as battle honours, and serve as a way to see each regiments history. following this tradition regiments often adorn regimental regalia, such as banners or crests, with the given names of these battle or campaigns. Many regiments also use their battle honours as a basis for the naming conventions of their companies, but there is no formalized standard since this is based in individual regimental traditions.
Honorifics
Certain regiments conduct themselves so honourably and achieve so great fame, that they are granted an honorific title. such a title would often be based on an acceptable pre-existing nickname already in common use within the regiment, a regimental mascot or relevant unit type of past eras. which would be used in combination with the planetary origin of the regiment. this means there can be no two regiments from the same planet with the same honorific title. further to the codified planetary limit on honorifics, its tradition that there will be no two regiments, no matter the planetary origin that will hold the same honorific title. regimental honorific titles are though so hard to earn it has yet ever to be relevant to codify this tradition. All regimental honorific titles must be plural, since it is granted to a regiment and not a single individual, though within regiments that have earned a honorific title it often occurs that individual soldiers will semi-informally be referred to by the singular-form of the title.
Examples of potential regimental honorific titles for Infantry Guard regiments:
Boars, Bulls, Bears, Chasseurs, Dragoons, Fusiliers, Grenadiers, Ghosts, Hoplites, Hunters, Jagers, Janissaries, Lions, Musketeers, Phantoms, Pandurs, Raiders, Rangers, Rifles, Scouts, Skirmishers, Warthogs, Wolves etc.
Outside of the regiment being known by and allowed the use of a unique title, being granted a honorific title also earns the regiment the right to modify the structure of the regiment outside of its doctrinal standard structure. Further its is also allowed to add or change elements of the service and parade dress uniform standard.
The title and the rights it gives can not be taken away from a regiment. If regiments was to be merged the Honours and Honorifics would transfer, and in the very unlikely situation of 2 titled regiments being merged the more senior title would be retained. this would free up a title, the only other way for a title to become available again is if a titled Regiment was to be disbanded.
Notable regiments with honorific titles:
1st Polympian "Legionaries" Infantry Guard Regiment
1st Kaasian "Rangers" Infantry Guard Regiment
2nd Hursan "Hussars" Cavalry Guard Regiment
