(Orders)
One Cadian Unit may remove one Model for each point of fatigue (Two Models for Levy) on their unit. For each miniature removed one point of fatigue is also removed and one re-roll is added to a pool that may be used by any unit in this turn. If a 6 is used re-roll the Dice and add it to the pool. This Ability may be used as many times as the player wishes provided they have enough dice but the re-rolls may never exceed 6.
With their brothers falling all around them the men of Cadia are driven by desperation and vengeance.
Courage and courage alone stands above them all! (1-3 and 4-5)
(Reaction)
When a Unit is destroyed before they are removed each friendly unit within M removes one Fatigue or Two Fatigue if the original unit was a Hearth Guard or Hero.
When Panic is about to set in or the men are getting tired nothing perks them up like a bit of good old fashioned drill.

''Who told you to die? Keep fighting!" - Commissar Otto Xavier
I’ve taken some Activation’s directly from Battle-boards, tweaked others and created some myself that I think fit in the SAGA System.
"When you decide to die, remember to give your enemy the same honour." Commissar Grenville
Additional Units:
Commissar: Any Lieutenant May be a Commissar and Keeps his Profile while Gaining the “Summary Execution” Rule
Summary Execution: Any Unit that Starts the Turn Exhausted within M of the Commissar immediately removes One Model (Two for Levy) and one fatigue. It then uses the new number of Fatigue to calculate Exhaustion. This can only happen once per unit per turn.
EXAMPLE: A Group of Warriors starts the turn with 4 Fatigue near a Commissar. He Kills One Warrior but they are still Exhausted as they still have 3 Fatigue.
EXAMPLE: A Group of Warriors starts the turn with 3 Fatigue near a Commissar. He Kills One Warrior but they are no longer Exhausted as they only have 2 Fatigue.
