They were created to conduct xenocidal campaigns throughout the equatorial jungles of the Hive World of Armageddon in an attempt to rid them of the Ork presence that had taken root there.

Armageddon Steel Legion
The Armageddon Steel Legion are the regiments of the Imperial Guard that fight as mechanised infantry alongside Chimera armoured personnel carriers in defence of the strategically-located Imperial Hive World of Armageddon and its surrounding star systems.

It has been observed that the Asgardian Rangers have many advantages in their use throughout a warzone above and beyond the Scouts of the Space Marines. When facing a tactical situation that is very fluid, the Asgardians take advantage by utilising the sheer speed of their biologically enhanced mounts, bred for generations by their world's contingent of Tech-priests.

As a result, for 10,000 standard years Cadia has endured the constant assaults of the Forces of Chaos from within the Eye and has remained unbowed and unconquered.

Cantican Colonial
The Cantican Colonial, also known as the CantiCol, are regiments of the Imperial Guard raised up from the Imperial world of Cantica, located in the Medina Corridor, in the Medina Sub-sector. Cantica was the defensive buttress of the Medina Corridor. Although a little-known regiment, the CantiCol were the Medina Corridor's primary troop formation. According to an Imperial census, 400,000 Guardsmen were garrisoned thinly across the Medina System alongside indigenous Planetary Defence Force elements. The CantiCol regiments had been raised in the 35th Millennium from the Cantican Loyalists of the Reclamation Wars. They had been one of the few warring dust tribes to aid the Imperium during the Reclamation and were thus the only regiment granted the right to defend the entire region. As a poorly equipped regiment, the CantiCol Guardsmen learned to compensate for equipment shortfalls. The Canticans did not possess many armoured vehicles, but the Cantican infantry squadrons were able to power safely across the battlefield in mostly ancient, obsolete tanks known as Siegfried Siege Tanks and Centaurs. The Siegefried tank was a modified variant of the Land Crawler utility vehicle commonly found by the billions all over the Imperium, while the Centaur is a small armoured utility vehicle of the Imperial Guard that is used in a wide variety of battlefield roles. The Canticans were also known to utilise elite Rough Rider mounted cavalry squadrons known as Cantican Horse Cavalry. Also called the Cantican Lancers, these Rough Riders were considered fighting men of no small repute. Much like the Kasrkin of Cadia or the Commandos of Kurass, the Lancers were an elite formation whose membership was limited and highly selective. As a poorly equipped force, Cantican Guardsmen were defined by the quality of their men rather than the superiority of their wargear, and the Lancers represented the apogee of this philosophy. Candidates could be drawn from any unit within the Cantican Colonial Regiments and thus selection was egalitarian in a rough, though uncompromising way. The Cantican Lancers are considered a hard bunch and the rank-and-file of the company, not the officers, decide who is permitted to wear the Lancer pin. The regular Cantican Guardsmen lacked the heavy armour prevalent amongst other Imperial Guard formations, and the Lancers bridged the gap between infantry and vehicle. While the primary role of the Cantican light horse was to escort the few precious tanks in the Cantican arsenal as mounted infantry, the Lancers were utilised as shock troops. Wearing chest bandoleers clustered with Fuse Bombs, the Lancers would charge upon their destriers headlong into enemy formations, leaving a trail of explosive Fuse Bombs in their wake.

The Harakoni Warhawks are elite airborne regiments of the Imperial Guard raised up from the Imperial world of Harakon, a low-gravity planet with impossibly tall hive cities.

Their specialised abilities have found a home in the Imperial Guard where regiments drawn from Harakon act as elite Drop Troops. Their generations-old adaptation to adverse gravity levels leaves the Harakoni Warhawks‎ predisposed to excel at Grav-Chute drops into planetary combat zones from orbit. This style of combat also increases the Warhawks' use of elite Storm Troopers Squads and small-unit tactics over those preferred by standard line troopers of the Imperial Guard. The Harakoni wear Carapace Armour as standard, use rebreathers during a planetary drop to breathe in the ultra-thin atmosphere at high altitudes, and use folding stock Las-Carbines or kinetic Autogun as their primary weapons.

They are unique amongst the Imperial Guard, as both their officers and enlisted Guardsmen are graduates of a prestigious military academy on their homeworld. Their superior training gives the Jantine great pride in their martial abilities, but tends to make them look down upon other "less-superior" Imperial Guard regiments.

The Jopall Indentured Squadrons are Imperial Guard regiments that hail from the once-peaceful Agri-World of Jopall.

Most citizens of Jopall spend the majority of their adult lives working off the debts they incur during the first part of their lives. There are ways around this punishing system, however; the citizen can either borrow money from their local lord, or they can work off the debt to the government by joining the Jopall Indentured Squadrons. This system explains why the Jopall are never short of recruits for their Imperial Guard regiments. The Jopall Indentured Squadrons are known equally well across the galaxy for both their fine marksmanship and their intense greed. The question of recompense is often raised by the officers of the Indentured Squadrons, and every life they take is tallied somewhere around the soldier's person, to be raised at a later date with the planetary government in pursuit of payment of their debts.

Kronus Regiments
The Kronus Regiments are Imperial Guard regiments raised from the Civilised World of Kronus, located in the Lithesh Sector of the Ultima Segmentum. This world only possesses one habitable continent, and so the Imperium abandoned the planet, which soon fell under the control of the emergent Tau Empire. Though it was now a largely peaceful Tau colony, that quickly changed with the arrival of General Lukas Alexander, who was in pursuit of the Eldar Farseer Taldeer, due to her previous activities on the Ice World of Lorn V. Soon multiple enemies of the Imperium arrived on Kronus for their own nefarious reasons, initiaing the campaign known as the Dark Crusade.

He then raised the newly-dubbed 1st Kronus Regiment on the spot from the Imperial forces under his command.

Growing up on such an inhospitable world, these Guardsmen are already hardened warriors before they even leave their homeworld on their first campaign. The Kroshin Grenadiers receive some of the best training, wargear and equipment, thanks in no small part to the generosity of the unusually high ratio of wealthy Kroshin civilians. The Kroshin Regiments consist primarily of Storm Troopers and a high proportion of mechanised companies. The Kroshin Grenadiers deployed to the Imperial Mining World of Medusa V in the Ultima Segmentum during the multi-sided military conflict known as the Fall of Medusa V.

The 10th Logres fought alongside the Ultramarines 4th Company, commanded by Captain Uriel Ventris, in the valiant defence of this Imperial world. Though the planet was saved and the 10th Logres survived the battle, their commander perished in a final act of heroic self-sacrifice. Colonel Rabelaq commanded his regiment from the relative safety of a Capitol Imperialis, a massive super-heavy tank often utilised as a mobile command base. During the defence of the capital city of Erebus, Rabelaq ordered his vehicle to charge into the enemy to protect the rear flank of the 993rd Death Korps of Krieg Regiment. Though the Krieg regiment was saved from destruction, the Rabelaq's Capitol Imperialis was surrounded by thousands of Tyranid bioforms. Firing upon a massive Tyranid Bio-Titan, the enraged creature knocked the Imperial vehicle on its side. As the Tyranids tore into the vehicle's hull, Colonel Rabelaq ordered the city's Defence Cannons to fire on his vehicle's exposed plasma reactor, and the resultant explosion vaporised everything within a 500 meter radius, fatally wounding the Bio-Titan.

Lostock Regiments
The Lostock Regiments are the regiments of the Imperial Guard that hail from the world of Lostock, located in the Ultima Segmentum. When the Adeptus Mechanicus Forge World of Dantis III was attacked by the Tyranids of Hive Fleet Kraken, the Lostock 23rd Regiment was quickly mustered and sent to that Imperial planet to combat the alien menace. A few companies of the Lostock 23rd were involved in a key experiment carried out by the Tech-priests of the Magos Biologis. They surgically modified these selected Guardsmen with drug-secreting glands that allowed them to resist the debilitating effects of the Tyranid Hive Mind and to help them survive unprotected in the highly toxic biosphere of Dantis III, as well as boosting their combat abilities and aggressiveness. Dantis III was eventually scoured of the Tyranid menace, but the Lostock 23rd was utterly annihilated. Only three of these so-called Gland Warriors are believed to have survived the conflict. After the successful defence of Dantis III, these survivors were taken by the agents of the Inquisition for debriefing and study.

A small detachment was assigned to the 670th Expeditionary Fleet to serve as part of Lord Commander Teng Namatjira's personal retinue.

Luggnum Sewer Rats

As light infantry regiments, their general battlefield role in close-quarter and tunnel fighting is well-suited to a variety of different environmental conditions and conflicts. Imperial High Command believes that soldiers from this mining world represent an effective reserve to bolster worlds within the Spinward Front where other regiments seem to under-perform. The Luggnum Sewer Rats 3rd regiment was assigned to the world of Hervara, dividing the regiment into several battle groups, which were each assigned to different campaigns within the ongoing conflict. Despite suffering severe losses due to close quarters fighting with both Orks and secessionist forces, the Luggnum Sewer Rats 3rd remain the most effective tunnel fighters among the Imperial Guard forces present.

These regiments hail from the blessed world of Maccabeus Quintus, an arid and bitterly cold Shrine World located in the Calixis Sector, where the great General Drusus fell and was raised up as a saint by the glory of the Emperor during the Angevin Crusade which conquered the Calixis Sector for the Imperium. This harsh world is not blessed because of the resources it possesses (which are few), or because of the climate (which is harsh), but because of the faith that grows there in abundance. A site of pilgrimage for the Imperial Cult's faithful across the Calixis Sector, this Shrine World has a significant military tradition all its own. These pilgrims form the core of the Maccabian militias, the Planetary Defence Force of the Shrine World, the finest of which are chosen to become Maccabian Janissaries. Like Saint Drusus, they defend or expand the Imperium in battle, which is regarded as the most pious form of worship of the God-Emperor. To date, none have refused this honour, for all are driven by faith and the spirit of pilgrimage. To become a Janissary is to embark upon a sacred pilgrimage of a different sort, carrying the Emperor's wrath to dark and distant places.

Morbidian Skull Takers
The Morbidian Skull Takers are Imperial Guard regiments raised from the Feral World of Morbidia. The Morbidians have a fell reputation for mutilating their fallen enemies' bodies to wear as macabre totems. This morbid practise is frowned upon by the Imperium, and as such, the Skull Takers are currently undergoing intense tutelage in the Imperial Cult.

Mordant Acid-Dogs
The Mordant Acid-Dogs are the Imperial Guard regiments raised from the Mining World of Mordant Prime, located in the Segmentum Obscurus. The Mordant Acid-Dogs specialise in subterranean tunnel fighting. They are typically deployed to combat zones where the Imperial High Command wishes to take advantage of their natural affinity for dark and confined spaces. The harsh conditions of their world breeds extremely tough and resilient warriors who are perfect for conscription into the military forces of the Imperium. The people of Mordant Prime live in subterranean tunnels, where criminal gangs are the only authority, preying upon the weak and extorting them for their meager resources. Only the skilled miners who are a part of the ancient organisation of Mordant mining clans, do not suffer from the extreme poverty experienced by the majority of the populace. The miners contract local manual labor, paying them only enough to acquire the most basic of necessities, which forces them to live in rustic shacks in the shanty caverns of the world. The Mordant Regiments draw their conscripts from those unfortunate wretches that can no longer tolerate the harsh life of their world and the horrid living conditions, or from those who have earned the dire wrath of one of the many criminal gangs.

Mordian Iron Guard
The Mordian Iron Guard are the superbly drilled and accoutred regiments of the Imperial Guard that hail from the Hive World of Mordian. This bleak world is tidally-locked with its sun, which causes one side of it to always be bathed in perpetual darkness while the other is continuously washed by its star's radiation, leaving it a scorched and lifeless wasteland. As such, all human settlements on Mordian are located on the world's dark side, and the planet has well-earned its moniker as the "World of Eternal Night." The people of Mordian are grim and dour by nature, respecting only discipline and duty. Their regiments are fiercely loyal to their cause: the prosecution of the Emperor's enemies. In battle, these highly-disciplined soldiers present perfectly formed ranks of troops to the enemy, unleashing precisely timed volleys of las-fire from behind a hedge of bayonet points. Some enemies of the Emperor have been misled by the Mordians' elaborate and ornate uniforms to believe that they were facing amateurs or only ceremonial troops, only to find the bright uniforms contain tough, steely-eyed and implacable warriors of the Imperium.

Mordion Regiments
The Mordion Regiments are the regiments of the Imperial Guard raised from the Hive World of Mordion. A notable regiment is the 7th Mordion, which was raised from a particularly vicious hive city gang called the "Night Rippers." The Night Rippers first came to the notice of Imperial Commander Varren, the Planetary Governor of Mordion, when they seized control of the whole of Island-City Two. The Night Rippers had managed to use the spaceport and hundreds of orbit-capable ships they captured to attempt a blockade of the planet in support of various demands for cash and equipment. Their efforts went largely unrewarded and the survivors of the action by the world's security forces to retake the spaceport were recruited, forcibly, into the Imperial Guard. It was decided that such formidable fighting skills should not be needlessly wasted, and if redirected properly, they would quickly prove invaluable to the Imperial Guard regiments of Mordion. Only the leaders of the rebellion were executed. Imperial Commander Varren chose to enact the ritual deaths using one of the Night Rippers' own ceremonial serrated swords. The gang's traditional badge therefore took on a new meaning as the symbol of their entry into Imperial service and an emblem of their leaders' sacrifice. D Company of the 7th Mordion deployed in support of the Pacification of Flotis III. They were assigned to pacify the third continent by ridding it of a dangerous population of Orks who had established a large settlement there. They were also to bring back into the Imperial fold the fiercely independent human population of the region who had managed to remain free of Ork domination. The Night Rippers acquitted themselves well over the course of this ultimately successful two-year-long campaign.

Morloc Regiments
The Morloc Regiments are regiments of Imperial Guard raised on the world of Morloc. Recently in 999.M41, the Morloc 404th regiment deployed in support of the defence of Cadia and its surrounding systems during the 13th Black Crusade against the Forces of Chaos, commanded by Abaddon the Despoiler.

Mortant Regiments
The Mortant Regiments are the regiments of the Imperial Guard that hail from the Hive World of Mortant. It is common practise amongst the savage hive-gangers of Mortant to take body parts as trophies from defeated enemies. The Mortant VII Regiment, known as the "Headhunters," were actively encouraged by their commander Colonel Radge to continue this custom, earning them a vicious reputation. During the infamous "Sacking of Colonia," the "Headhunters" supposedly went on a three-month rampage, pillaging and plundering from Imperial settlements on Colonia, after defeating the Ork hordes of the Warlord Gharag Badtoof. It was later claimed that the Orks were actually responsible for much of the devastation, but there are those amongst the people of Colonia who still blame the "Headhunters."

Millions of people live in tall, imposing hive cities in cramped conditions that are rife with simmering tension. As is typical of most Hive Worlds, Necromunda's many hive cites are full of powerful hive gangs, which provide a readily available stock of potential recruits for the Imperium's military forces. Necromunda is known for providing large levies of conscripts for service in the Imperial Guard.

The Adamantiphracts were attached to the 51st Expeditionary Fleet under the command of the 14th Grand Company of the Iron Warriors Space Marine Legion, formerly commanded by Warsmith Barabas Dantioch. Dantioch had been laid low during a massive Hrud infestation on the world of Gholghis. Having fallen out of favour with his Primarch Perturabo, Dantioch and his subordinate Imperial Army elements were relegated to performing garrison duty upon the barren world of Lesser Damantyn, where the former Warsmith was responsible for the construction of the formidable fortress known as the Schadenhold. When a fellow Warsmith loyal to the traitorous Warmaster Horus came to Lesser Damantyne to inform Dantioch that his fortress would be used as a staging area and resupply point for the inevitable campaign of the Traitor Legions against Terra, Dantioch refused to acknowledge his former brethren, declaring his loyalty remained with the Emperor. Following a brutal internecine conflict that raged for just over a year, the mighty fortress fell to the Traitor Iron Warriors, and the Ninth-Ward died to a man.

Noctan Strike Forces
The Noctan Strike Forces are the elite regiments of Imperial Guard raised up from the world of Noctan. These silent warriors are adept at stealth, cover and concealment, night raids and guerrilla tactics.

Therefore, Phantine's Planetary Defence Force fields no ground troops. Despite the rule that no Imperial Guard regiment shall possess their own air support, the Phantine Air Corps was granted an exception. Their odd role causes them to not be welcomed by standard Imperial Guard regiments as well as Imperial Navy aviators, with whom they are oftentimes forced to cooperate with. A notable regiment was the 19th Phantine (Airborne), known as "The Silent," which took part in the Sabbat Worlds Crusade, a massive Imperial Crusade fought over the course of more than 23 standard years between 755.M41 and 778.M41, to help retake the Sabbat Worlds Sector located at the rimward edge of the Segmentum Pacificus from the heretical Forces of Chaos.

The overpopulated hive cities of Praetoria are renowned for their squalor and degradation, and produce some of the toughest hive gangers on any of the Hive Worlds in the Imperium. This vast population works as little more than slave-labour in the huge manufactoria complexes on the world, producing the goods that have made the planet (and its rulers) amongst the richest in the Imperium of Man. Praetoria possesses a huge fleet of merchant craft that trade all over the Segmentum and beyond. Imperial Guard regiments raised on Praetoria are renowned for their iron discipline and bravery, even in the face of the most overwhelming odds. They detest slovenliness and disorder and even in the midst of the fiercest battle will ensure their ranks are correctly dressed in parade ground fashion and have their uniforms smartly fastened. The planetary lords of Praetoria hold it is only through fearsome training and draconian punishments for the most minor infringements that the hive-toughened inhabitants of their planet can be made to follow orders and do as they are told as part of a highly-regimented military unit. The Praetorian Guard are easily recognisable in their distinctive uniforms which typically consists of their trademark scarlet tunic with epaulettes and dark blue trousers with a vertical scarlet stripe on the outside leg.

The Roane Deepers fought alongside the Tanith First and Only on several occasions, most notably in the defence of Vervunhive during the Sabbat Worlds Crusade. The Deepers have a reputation for being lazy and somewhat lackadaisical or laid back in their approach to warfare and training. Their reputation as a regiment is somewhat middling to say the least. However, they have proven themselves staunch and tenacious fighters when the las-bolts begin to fly. The regiment is rather poorly equipped - a result of being far down the Departmento Munitorum's list of priorities for supply. This fact no doubt explains the large number of expert "scroungers" amongst their ranks. The Deepers are a light infantry regiment, much like Gaunt's Ghosts themselves, but without the same capacity for stealth. They suffered greatly in the defence of Vervunhive, where they fought in mustard drab fatigues and netted helmets.

Savlar Chem-Dogs
The Savlar Chem-Dogs are Penal Legion regiments that serve within the Imperial Guard. They draw their recruits from the prisons on the inhospitable penal world of Savlar by the promise that they will be allowed to keep anything they take from the battlefield, as well as the chance to get away from Savlar's highly toxic environment.

But tragedy struck when the planet became the site of a Genestealer-instigated rebellion against the Imperium in the early 39th Millennium. The planet was later the target of a falsified Exterminatus order, and was subsequently reclassified as a Dead World. The Stalinvast Grenadiers were noted for utilising Vostroyan-manufactured equipment.

Storm Troopers
The Storm Troopers are the elite special forces units of the Imperial Guard and the Inquisition. Trained from their youth by the Schola Progenium in the arts of war, Storm Troopers are, perhaps, the finest soldiers ever to serve in the Imperial Guard. Armed with their trademark Hellguns and Hellpistols, these soldiers take combat to the heart of the enemy with blinding speed and deadly precision. Their accuracy is aided by their highly-protective Carapace Armour's integrated targeting system. Equipped with the finest weapons and wargear in the Departmento Munitorum's arsenal, Storm Troopers are trained to carry out missions beyond the capabilities of the rank-and-file Guardsmen. Deep strike assaults, reconnaissance, infiltration, sabotage, and airborne insertion are just a few of the special missions with which Storm Troopers are regularly tasked.

Similar to the Elysian Drop Troops, the Tahnel primarily produce elite airborne and Drop Trooper regiments, but unlike the Elysians, the Tahnel Airborne do not rely on their equipment and training to achieve victory, instead preferring to deploy overwhelmingly superior numbers in battle. Dropped in large numbers, the Tahnel Airborne saturate and overwhelm an enemy's position, or die in the process. Troopers who survive more than five combat drops are entitled to wear the coveted Red Beret of a Tahnel Veteran Guardsmen.

The Tallarn Desert Raiders are the regiments of the Imperial Guard raised from the Desert World of Tallarn who are highly skilled at desert and mobile armoured warfare. The Desert Raiders are mobile guerrilla fighters, evasive and opportunistic. They are especially known for their lightning-quick Sentinels and hard-hitting tank squadrons and are masters of hit-and-run mobile warfare. They love to strike a killing blow at the heart of an enemy formation before returning to their own lines, prepared to pounce once more. The people of Tallarn are extremely resourceful and pragmatic. They are patient, determined and utterly ferocious in pursuit of their enemies. Tallarn are all accomplished riders, and often will use riding mounts to move from battle to battle, dismounting only when they are close to the enemy and wish to employ stealth. Once the enemy is sighted, the Tallarn will stalk them closely, relying on their practiced marksmanship and lightning-quick curved Combat Knives to achieve victory.

Tanagran Dragoons

All 20,000 Dragoons were wiped out to a man.

Tangar Woad Warriors
Tangar Woad Warriors are regiments of Imperial Guard raised on the Feral World of Tangar. As their name suggests, Woad Warriors disdain armour and most clothing, preferring to paint themselves with intricate and stylised magical designs in woad (a blue dye) to deflect enemy blows and projectiles. The patterns created can be elaborate and almost inhuman, and are supposed to be unnerving for enemies unused to such practices. Woad Warriors maintain the heretical belief that magic also armours the woad warriors against fear, and makes them savage, dangerous and not-quite controllable fighters. But these heretical beliefs have mostly been somewhat replaced through indoctrination of the Imperial Cult and the God-Emperor. These savage warriors believe that belief will conquer bullets.

Tanith First and Only
The Tanith First and Only, officially called the Tanith 1st Regiment but better known as "Gaunt's Ghosts," is a regiment that was raised from the world of Tanith in the Sabbat Worlds Sector.

During this Imperial Crusade, the world of Tanith was destroyed by the forces of the Archenemy. The Tanith 1st Regiment earned their ironic moniker "Gaunt's Ghosts" as a result of the name of their commanding officer, Colonel-Commissar Ibram Gaunt, and the disenfranchised status of the original Tanith soldiers after the destruction of their homeworld. It has proved to be an appropriate nickname of some further application, as the Verghastite personnel influx into the regiment also considered themselves "ghosts" due to the destruction of their home hive city. The regiment as a whole is noted for its stealth and reconnaissance abilities being almost uncanny in nature.

Tanner Regiments
The Tanner Regiments are regiments of Imperial Guard raised on the world of Tanner IV.

Vitrian Dragoons
The Vitrian Dragoons are regiments of the Imperial Guard raised on the vast arid Desert World of Vitria. The Dragoons stem from a martial culture formed entirely around the Vitrian Honour Code, the Byhata, an ancient treatise on warfare. Every Vitrian Trooper carries his own copy of the Byhata on his person at all times, even into combat. Tradition states that the Byhata should be carried in a special pocket under the trooper's armour, directly over his heart. Every copy of the Byhata is fitted with a lock that is gene-coded to the owner, so that only he may open the book. In the Vitrian culture, it is a capital offence for anyone other than a Vitrian to gain access to or read the Byhata. The Dragoons are heavy infantry regiments and have a Storm Trooper-mentality, constantly firing their laser weapons on the highest setting, as it states in the Byhata that one should always strive to make both the first strike and the last one. While this means that each shot is more likely to penetrate armour and inflict greater tissue damage on the target, it also means they deplete their las-clips far more quickly than other regiments with a more measured approach. Vitrian Dragoons wear specially fitted armor formed from the metallic glass that their homeworld is famous for. This glass armour gives the Vitrian Dragoons extraordinary protection, especially against energy weapons. At the flip of a switch on the waist, the glass pieces of the armour will rotate in place to present the much darker underside, providing the Vitrians with effective nighttime camoflauge. Regiments of Vitrian Dragoons have fought in many warzones across the Imperium. Vitria sent multiple regiments, including the 2nd Vitrian (Mobile), 10th Vitrian (Armoured Brigade), and the 161st Vitrian (Heavy Support), in support of the Sabbat Worlds Crusade, a massive Imperial Crusade fought over the course of more than 23 standard years between 755.M41 and 778.M41, to help retake the Sabbat Worlds Sector located at the rimward edge of the Segmentum Pacificus from the heretical Forces of Chaos.

Volscani Cataphracts
The Volscani Cataphracts are Traitor Imperial Guard Regiments that fought with the Forces of Chaos, under the command of Abaddon the Despoiler during the 13th Black Crusade in 999.M41. During the outset of Abaddon's invasion of Cadia, treachery struck at the heart of the Imperium's defences. As the defenders of the Cadian Gate mustered at the Tyrok Fields, the traitorous Imperial Guard regiments of the Volscani Cataphracts revealed their true allegiance to the Ruinous Powers. The Traitors slaughtered hundreds of loyal Guardsmen before any response could be coordinated. The intent of the Volscani's treason was revealed as they swarmed aboard the Leviathan command vehicle of the Governor Primus of Cadia and proceeded to slaughter him and much of the senior command of Cadia's armed forces. This included the commander-in-chief of the defenders of the Cadian Gate, who was killed in the brutal attack. At the darkest moment, then-Colonel Ursarkar E. Creed took control of the dire situation. Rallying his 8th Cadian Regiment, the bloodied defenders were quickly organised and ordered to advance upon the Traitors. The 8th Cadian led the charge into the ranks of the traitorous Volscani. Through Creed's actions, what might have been a grievous defeat for the Imperium, and a nefarious victory for the hordes of the Archenemy, was turned into a defining moment for the defenders of Cadia.

The Vostroyan Firstborn are the regiments of the Imperial Guard that originate from the industrial Hive World of Vostroya located near the Halo Stars in the Segmentum Obscurus. The Vostroyan Regiments have served the Emperor for countless centuries, though in truth they fight to absolve themselves of a terrible shame incurred by their ancestors over ten millennia ago when, during the dark days of the Horus Heresy, Vostroya failed in its duty to the Emperor of Mankind. When the galaxy was consumed in war and anarchy, the Emperor commanded that worlds still loyal to the Imperium send forth fighting men to help defend it against the Warmaster Horus and his Traitor Legions. Vostroya refused, arguing that it could better serve the Imperium by continuing to devote all its efforts to the manufacture of weapons for the Emperor's armies, and that to give up so much of its populace to become warriors for the Imperial Army would render it incapable of producing those weapons in sufficient quantities. The Vostroyans' refusal to provide soldiers was met with uncommon mercy by the Imperium once the Heresy had ended, and the people of Vostroya have forever after sought to atone for their mistake, promising to provide the first-born son of every Vostroyan family to the service of the Imperial Guard.
