[[Clans|Clan]] term for a disgraced unit that has either refused orders, panicked in the face of the enemy, or committed dishonorable conduct. The term also refers to the ceremony where a unit is marked and punished. Any unit bearing this name is considered "tainted" and honorable warriors avoid dealings with the unit as much as possible.  This can restrict the unit being involved in bids and when bid into combat, the actions it can take.   Disgraced units are given poor quality replacements and looked down upon by all the clan.
 
 
'''''Dezgra''''' is a [[Clan]] term for a disgraced individual, unit, or Clan.
 
 
 
==Description==
 
This disgrace can come from either refusing orders, panicking in the face of the enemy, or committing dishonorable conduct. It may even come from being roundly defeated by an enemy that itself is considered inferior. This term also refers to the ceremony where a unit is marked and punished. <ref>''Field Manual: Crusader Clans'', p. 160</ref><ref>''Field Manual: Warden Clans'', p. 168</ref> <ref name=IC-147>''Invading Clans'', p. 147 "Glossary"</ref><ref>''The Wars of Reaving'', p. 252</ref>
 
 
 
Any unit bearing this name is considered "tainted" and honorable warriors avoid dealings with the unit as much as possible.  This can restrict the unit being involved in bids, and, when bid into combat, the actions it can take. ''Dezgra'' units are given poor quality replacements and looked down upon by all the Clans.
 
 
 
For example, the [[Falcon Guards]] were considered a ''dezgra'' unit after their defeat on [[Twycross]]. The unit was caught in a trap and wiped out to nearly the last man. Another example was the destruction of the CSR ''[[White Cloud]]'' by the [[DCMS]]. The DCMS tactics rendered them ''dezgra''.<ref>''The Wars of Reaving'', p. 35</ref>
