"Military service as a warrior of the Imperium is a common sentence for
minor criminals. Their offences might include filling out tax returns
incorrectly (willful fraud is, however, a capital offence), overdue
library books, failure to maintain drains, littering etc. Soldiers in
penal legions suffer an even harsher existence than ordinary warriors -
officers are sadistic and uncompromising. In some legions the warriors
are deliberately controlled by the use of frenzon fastened to their
wrists. Officers carry control equipment, and can induce various
psychological states in their troops. A penal unit has a 25% chance of
being so controlled."

Hence stats = Imperial Guard + Stubborn.
