13th/5th Imperial Army
The 13th/5th Imperial Army, also known as "Hylgar's Hellraisers," was an Imperial Army formation according to obscure but extensive records.

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.

Cadian Shock Troops
The Cadian Shock Troops, also sometimes called Cadian Shock Troopers, are the highly disciplined Imperial Guard soldiers conscripted in large numbers from the Fortress World of Cadia, which stands sentinel as the preeminent bastion of the Imperium of Man in the fight against the Emperor's ancient Archenemy, Chaos. Cadia is one world amongst many thousands in the Imperium of Man, and has an honoured and violent place in its history, for Cadia stands upon the edge of the Eye of Terror within the Segmentum Obscurus, within a narrow corridor of navigable space known as the Cadian Gate. 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. This history of unending threat from the Archenemy has bred a world of warriors who are known to possess unsurpassed discipline and skill, and whose Imperial Guard regiments stand as examples to the rest of the Guard and Mankind. The Cadians committed 612 Shock Troops regiments, 486 Companies of Cadian Kasrkin and 36 Regional Commands of the Cadian Youth Army in the defence of their homeworld and its surrounding systems. The "Ward of Cadia" was awarded to 912 Cadian Officers in 3 weeks, while 19 Kasrkin Companies were commended for Conspicuous Gallantry, and the "Order of Ollianus Pious" was awarded for the first time in seven centuries to the Cadian Youth Army.

The world of Caliban was transformed into a model Imperial world and mobilised for the galaxy-spanning crusade to reunite the disparate tribes of humanity into one unified Imperium of Man. The majority of the Caliban Jaegers were sent off-world to take part in the wider Great Crusade. A detachment that had been left to garrison Caliban was responsible for the pacification of rebellious elements that threaten the security of the planet.

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.

Carnelian Light Foot

Krieg was the site of a rebellion against the Imperium of Man over 1,500 standard years ago in the 40th Millennium and was bombarded with nuclear weapons followed by five hundred years of grinding warfare to purge the heretical rebels. After all those years of nuclear destruction and bitter trench warfare, Krieg was reduced to a scorched, radioactive husk of a world composed of dust and mud whose surviving people were forced to retreat into underground hive cities to survive the toxic planetary environment. The Death Korps of Krieg is a siege specialist regiment of the Imperial Guard and the regiments raised on Krieg seek to repent for their former treachery against the Imperium by displaying a disturbing disregard for their own lives in combat.

Elysian Drop Troops
The Elysian Drop Troops are the airborne assault infantry regiments of the Imperial Guard who are recruited from the verdant world of Elysia in the Segmentum Solar, 30 light years from the Hive World of Armageddon.

The Elysian Drop Troop Regiments make extensive use of aircraft and elite soldiers plunging from the skies directly into battle. These regiments' true advantage lies in their speed, unpredictability and the unrivalled ability to attack anywhere on the battlefield, at any time.

Two years later, the Departmento Munitorum charged the IV Hammeront Regiment with desertion and, along with their commander, they were all posthumously sentenced to death.

Harakoni Warhawks
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. The Harakoni use grav-gliders to hunt vapourwyrms in the valleys below their hives. This makes them fearless at high altitudes and natural experts at judging air currents. 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. Many an Imperial General or Warmaster owes their decorations to the bravery and experience of the regiments drawn from amongst the Harakoni Warhawks.

Hasdrubel Regiments

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 Patricians were known to have a long-standing feud with the Tanith First and Only, because the Tanith 1st's regimental Commissar Ibram Gaunt had executed the Jantine Patricians' commander, General Aldo Dercius, for cowardice in the face of the enemy. This execution of one of their own was a black mark on the regiment's record. The Jantine Patricians were sent 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. Due to heretical actions undertaken by the Patricians during the Crusade in an attempt to wipe out Commissar Gaunt's regiment and reclaim what they saw as their besmirched honour, all records of the Patrician's honours and victories were subsequently destroyed on the orders of the Inquisition and the regiment was never reformed.

Jjojos Regiments
The Jjojos Regiments are the regiments of Imperial Guard raised from the world of Jjojos. In 956.M41, the Kieldar Rebellion was utterly crushed by the combined forces of the Aegis, Athanos, Bannan, Birmingham, Cadian, Catachan, Elysia, Harakoni, Jjojos, K'phrani, Loriar, Morax,Mordian, Neocassan, Paragon, Pintax, Rassiosan, Tallarn and Vostroyan regiments.

Jopall Indentured Squadrons
The Jopall Indentured Squadrons are Imperial Guard regiments that hail from the once-peaceful Agri-World of Jopall. On their homeworld, the Jopall owe their planetary government money as soon as they are born. Taking up valuable resources throughout their childhood, they incur a debt that they cannot repay until adolescence. 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.

Jouran Dragoons
The Jouran Dragoons are Imperial Guard regiments raised from the Civilised World of Jouran. They are notable for possessing a large number of mechanised infantry. The Jouran Dragoons prefer to ride into battle in armoured transports such as the Chimera, and are often seen in the vanguard of Imperial armies supporting other Imperial Guard armoured regiments. Some of these associations stretch back over millennia and the Jourans have participated in the speartip of many great campaigns throughout the Imperium. After a salient has been created by the heavy tanks of their fellow armoured regiments, the Jouran Dragoons speed through the breach to quickly establish a foothold and disrupt the enemy's front lines. The Jouran Dragoons recently committed 7 regiments in the defence of Cadia and its surrounding systems from the Forces of Chaos commanded by Abaddon the Despoiler during his 13th Black Crusade in 999.M41. The 383rd Jouran Dragoons were lost during the defence of Hydra Cordatus to Iron Warriors Chaos Space Marine forces.

Jumael Volunteers
The Jumael Volunteers are Imperial Guard regiments raised from conscripts taken from the mostly rural farming communities on the verdant Agri-World of Jumael IV. Poorly equipped compared to other regiments, the Jumael make do, wearing heavy vests of ballistic cloth with built-in pectoral protection and flexible shoulder reinforcement. The Jumael 1st Regiment, known as the "Lucky Aces," earned their moniker during the Tywia campaign. They were the only regiment out of three to survive a vicious Warp Storm en route to Tywia. The regiment took part in the retaking of the fortress known as the Ironhide, but in the midst of the battle, a freak earthquake breached its 200 foot high walls. Also during that battle, a lost patrol from the "Aces" came across the fabled Chambers of Gold hidden beneath the fortress.

Justus Regiments
The Justus Regiments are regiments of Imperial Guard raised on the Civilised World of Justus. Collectively known as the "Emperor's Shield," these regiments are known to be highly-decorated. There is little information in regards to this regiment in current Imperial records.

K'phrani Regiments
The K'phrani Regiments are the regiments of Imperial Guard raised from the world of K'phrani. In 956.M41, the Kieldar Rebellion was utterly crushed by the combined forces of the Aegis, Athanos, Bannan, Birmingham, Cadian, Catachan, Elysia, Harakoni, Jjojos, K'phrani, Loriar, Morax,Mordian, Neocassan, Paragon, Pintax, Rassiosan, Tallarn and Vostroyan regiments.

Kado Regiments
The Kado Regiments are Imperial Guard regiments that are raised from the Imperial world of Kado. They Kado 11th Regiment is known to have taken part in the Third War for Armageddon in 998.M41 against the massive Ork WAAAGH! of Warlord Ghazghkull Mag Uruk Thraka. During the fighting, the 11th Kado utilised camouflaged uniforms to help blend into the harsh surroundings of the brutal landscape of the Armageddon Ash Wastes.

Kaledon Hunters
The Kaledon Hunters are Imperial Guard regiments raised from the complex clans of the Feral World of Kaledon. This world is invaluable in contributing several of the toughest, if least disciplined, regiments in the Imperium. Each regiment is drawn from a single clan and Kaledoni regiments inevitably fight all the harder to prove their superiority over a regiment from a rival clan.

Kallistan Rifles
The Kallistan Rifles are Imperial Guard regiments that were raised from the Imperial world of Kallistan. The 1st Kallistan Rifles is currently waging a devastating war of annihilation against the Pirates of Bo.

Kanak Skull-Takers
The Kanak Skull-Takers are Imperial Guard regiments that were raised from the volcano-wracked Feral World of Kanak, which is home to many fierce barbarian tribes. It is said that many of these tribes are closer to an Ogryn than a baseline human being. Their talent for slaughter quickly found its way into the Imperial Guard, where considerable tolerance for their feral tactics has been seen. Like many feral regiments, service in the Imperial Guard is intended to teach the savage Kanak Imperial ways, so that if they ever return to their homeworld, they will hopefully provide a civilising influence to the indigenous population.

Kantael Regiments
The Kantael Regiments are Imperial Guard regiments raised from the Imperial world of Kantael. The Kantael Light Infantry regiment recently took part in the defence of Cadia and its surrounding systems from the Forces of Chaos, commanded by Abaddon the Despoiler, during his 13th Black Crusade in 999.M41.

Karrack Las
The Karrack Las are Imperial Guard regiments raised from an unknown Imperial world.

Kellersburg Irregulars
The Kellersburg Irregulars are Imperial Guard regiments raised from the Imperial world of Kellersburg. Deploying four regiments, which included the 1st, 2nd, 6th and 7th, the Kellersburg Irregulars recently took part in the defence of Cadia and its surrounding systems from the Forces of Chaos, commanded by Abaddon the Despoiler, during his 13th Black Crusade in 999.M41. During this campaign, regrettably, the 2nd Regiment was purged by the 7th Regiment, after having unsafe contact with mutant forces. The 7th Regiment was decorated for their actions.

Ketzok Regiments
The Ketzok Regiments are Imperial Guard regiments raised from the Imperial world of Ketzok. Three Ketzok regiments, including the 18th, 21st and 22nd, were sent 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.

Khulon Huscarls
The Khulon Huscarls are Imperial Guard regiments raised from the Imperial world of Khulon. The 2nd Khulon Huscarls, known as the "Silver Kindred," were sent 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.

Kirvan Light
The Kirvan Light are Imperial Guard regiments raised from the Imperial world of Kirvan. The Kirvan Light (Auxiliary) was sent 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.

Knovian Gharkas
The Knovian Gharkas are Imperial Guard regiments raised from the Imperial world of Knovia. The Knovian Gharkas recently deployed 14 regiments to help defend Cadia and its surrounding systems from the Forces of Chaos, commanded by Abaddon the Despoiler, during his 13th Black Crusade in 999.M41. The 1st through 57th Regiments had to combine after sustaining heavy losses.

Kolstec Regiments

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. Informing the Segmentum High Command of the dire situation, Lukas Alexander was promoted to Governor Militant of Kronus. He then raised the newly-dubbed 1st Kronus Regiment on the spot from the Imperial forces under his command.

Kroshin Grenadiers
The Kroshin Grenadiers are Imperial Guard regiments raised up from the volcanic Death World of Kroshin. Founded sometime before the 39th Millennium, the Kroshin Grenadiers are composed of some of the strongest, most battle-hardened veterans known throughout the Imperium. 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. Before it was devoured by a massive Warp Storm, this world became the center of a large military conflict between eight of the Milky Way Galaxy's major powers for control of the world, each for its own reasons.

Lacunan Lifewatch
The Lacunan Lifewatch was an Imperial Army formation that was active during the Great Crusade from the mid-30th through the early 31st Millennia. The Lifewatch served as part of the 28th Expeditionary Fleet (1st Iteration) under the Thousand Sons Space Marine Legion commanded by Primarch Magnus the Red. The Lifewatch took part in the Pacification of the Ark Reach Cluster, specifically the campaign on the world of Ark Reach Secundus (named Heliosa by its inhabitants, nicknamed "Shrike" by the Imperial forces) against the advanced humans known as the Avenians. During this campaign, they fought alongside the Ouranti Draks and Prospero Spireguard Imperial Army regiments. The Lifewatch assisted the Thousand Sons and Prospero Spireguard in hunting down any rogue aeries of the Avenians.

Last Reach Regiments
The Last Reach Regiments are the regiments of the Imperial Guard that hail from an unknown Imperial world. Recently they sent multiple regiments to fight against the Forces of Chaos under the command of Abaddon the Despoiler during the 13th Black Crusade in 999.M41. All three regiments are currently listed as missing in action.

Latarii Gundogs
The Latarii Gundogs are the regiments of the Imperial Guard that hail from the Imperial world of Latarii. The Gundogs were sent 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. Disaster befell the Latarii Gundogs in 767.M41, during the campaign on the world of Lamicia, where they were annihilated by the forces of the Archenemy.

Lexxian Regiments
The Lexxian Regiments are the regiments of the Imperial Guard that hail from the Death World of Lexxia. Traditionally, the Lexxian Regiments are known to adopt a vicious predator from their deadly homeworld as their unit's totem. For example, the Lexxian 9th chose the Sawtooth as their mascot -- a voracious feline hunter that can grow to the size of a horse. It is claimed that in order for a warrior to become a Sergeant or officer in the regiment, that they must hunt and defeat one of these apex predators personally. A trooper of this regiment is allowed to wear a Sawtooth fang for every successful campaign that they have taken part in.

Logres Regiments
The Logres Regiments are the poorly developed regiments of the Imperial Guard that hail from the Ice World of Logres. The 10th Logres Regiment, commanded by Colonel Octavius Rabelaq, is known to have taken part in the defence of Tarsis Ultra in 999.M41, when that world was attacked by a tendril of Hive Fleet Leviathan. 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.

Lorentian Regiments
The Lorentian Regiments are the regiments of the Imperial Guard that hail from the Hive World of Lorentia, a planet with huge hive cites full of millions of people crowded into tight quarters. The Lorentian 4th Regiment took part in the Imperial campaign on Zaro's World against the Orks.

Loriar Regiments
The Loriar Regiments are the regiments of Imperial Guard raised from the world of Loriar. In 956.M41, the Kieldar Rebellion was utterly crushed by the combined forces of the Aegis, Athanos, Bannan, Birmingham, Cadian, Catachan, Elysia, Harakoni, Jjojos, K'phrani, Loriar, Morax,Mordian, Neocassan, Paragon, Pintax, Rassiosan, Tallarn and Vostroyan regiments.

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.

Lucifer Blacks
The Lucifer Blacks were an Imperial Army formation that was active during the latter years of the Age of Strife and Great Crusade eras from the 30th through the 31st Millennia. Due to the severe losses they suffered during the Age of Strife and the subsequent Unification Wars at the hands of the Emperor's superior Thunder Warriors, these illustrious regiments were divided up to serve as elite bodyguards to senior-ranking Imperial Army officers and officials of the newly-formed Imperial Unity government on Terra. 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
The Luggnum Sewer Rats are regiments of the Imperial Guard raised up on the Mining World of Luggnum. 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.

Maccabian Janissaries
The Maccabian Janissaries are an elite Imperial Guard regiment united by their zealous faith in the God-Emperor and composed of the finest members of the Maccabian militia raised from the world of Maccabeus Quintus who follow in the footsteps of their great patron, the Imperial Saint Drusus. 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.

Magdellan Regiments
The Magdellan Regiments are the regiments of the Imperial Guard that hail from the world of Magdellan. Recently, the Magdellan 6th Armoured Regiment took part in the Imperial campaign to recapture Tsaragrad from Heretic forces.

Mako Regiments
The Mako Regiments are the regiments of the Imperial Guard that hail from the world of Mako. The 6th Mako Regiment was sent 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.

Malcador's Chosen
Malcador's Chosen was an Imperial Army formation that was active during the Great Crusade and Horus Heresy eras, from the mid-30th Millennium through the early 31st Millennium. Not much information about this regiment remains in current Imperial records, but the troops of Malcador's Chosen were known to wear similar uniforms to the modern-era Cadian Shock Troops with a bit more gold flourish; golden Imperial Aquilas were worn on the breastplate, shoulder guards and knee guards of their Carapace Armour, denoting their status as being a part of the personal guard of Malcador the Sigillite, the Regent of Terra.

Manninen Rangers
The Manninen Rangers are the regiments of the Imperial Guard that hail from the world of Manninen. In 998.M41, the 12th Manninen Rangers were assigned to the 4621st Imperial Army, X Corps, to take part in the Taros Campaign to reclaim the Imperial desert Mining World of Taros from the Tau Empire and its Kroot and human (Gue'vesa) allies of the Taros Planetary Defence Force. Upon arrival, the 12th Manninen were found to only consist of one reinforced company, and the regiment was disbanded on the orders of Commissar-General Van Horic. The Rangers and their equipment were folded into the various Tallarn Desert Raiders armoured regiments that were also participating in the campaign.

Manth Grenadiers
The Manth Grenadiers are the regiments of the Imperial Guard that hail from the world of Manth. The Manth Grenadiers were sent 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.

Mariner Regiments
The Mariner Regiments are the regiments of the Imperial Guard that hail from the world of Manth. The Mariner 18th, known also as the "Panthers," were sent 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.

Merov Penitentiary Indenture
The Merov Penitentiary Indenture are Penal Legion regiments of Imperial Guard conscripted from criminals on the world of Merov. The Merov Penitentiary Indenture sent four Penal Legions to support 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.

Mershan Regiments
The Mershan Regiments are the regiments of the Imperial Guard that hail from the world of Mershan. The 45th Mershan were sent 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.

Methuselan Regiments
The Methuselan Regiments are Imperial Guard regiments raised from the world of Methusela. The Methuselan 12th Mechanised Infantry recently took part in the defence of Cadia and its surrounding systems from the Forces of Chaos, commanded by Abaddon the Despoiler, during his 13th Black Crusade in 999.M41.

Minervan Tank Legions
The Minervan Tank Legions are the elite armoured regiments of the Imperial Guard that hail from the Civilised World of Minerva. Supposedly the people of Minerva originally hailed from the Hive World of Armageddon, and are descended from settlers derived from the 1st Armageddon Steel Legion. The Minervan Tank Legions are highly regarded in the realm of armoured warfare and serve as a model for other armoured regiments within the Imperial Guard. Two regiments, which include the 10th and 217th Minervan Tank Legions, were deployed to Armageddon in 998.M41, to defend it from the massive Ork WAAAGH! of the notorious Warlord Ghazghkull Mag Uruk Thraka.

Mnenomite Regiments
The Mnenomite Regiments are the regiments of the Imperial Guard that hail from the world of Mnenomite. The 2nd Mnenomite were sent 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. They met disaster in 767.M41, during the campaign on the world of Parthenope, where they were annihilated by the forces of the Archenemy.

Moloch Rifles
The Moloch Rifles are Imperial Guard regiments raised from the world of Moloch. A notable regiment is the 182nd Moloch Rifles, which took part in the Maugral Prime Campaign.

Molov Regiments
The Molov Regiments are regiments of Imperial Guard raised up from the world of Agathon. In 932.M41, Techno Magus Stannum Vir discovered fragments of an STC device on the Agri-World of Jollov. However, a vanguard tendril of the newly emergent Tyranid Hive Fleet Moloch threatened to consume the world before it could be recovered. At the Techpriest's behest a courageous defence of the planet's spaceport ensured. Elements of the Molov, Agathon, Catachan, Mordian and Kanak regiments die to buy enough time for the Adeptus Mechanicus to flee with the invaluable technological relic.

Monras Regiments
The Monras Regiments are regiments of Imperial Guard raised up from the world of Monras. The Monras 25th Scythewing Recon regiment was sent to support 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.

Moradia Regiments
The Moradia Regiments are the regiments of Imperial Guard raised from the world of Moradia. One of their notable units is the Moradia 23rd Infantry Regiment.

Morax Regiments
The Morax Regiments are the regiments of Imperial Guard raised from the world of Morax. In 956.M41, the Kieldar Rebellion was utterly crushed by the combined forces of the Aegis, Athanos, Bannan, Birmingham, Cadian, Catachan, Elysia, Harakoni, Jjojos, K'phrani, Loriar, Morax,Mordian, Neocassan, Paragon, Pintax, Rassiosan, Tallarn and Vostroyan regiments.

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.

The Night Rippers acquitted themselves well over the course of this ultimately successful two-year-long campaign.

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."

Mortessan Highlanders
The Mortessan Highlanders are the regiments of the Imperial Guard that hail from the world of Mortessa. The 14th Mortessan Highlanders took part in the massive Imperial campaign known as the Achilus Crusade in 777.M41, intended to bring the rediscovered Jericho Reach back under the dominion of the God-Emperor of Mankind.

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. The night vision of these troops is exceptional, and their dark skin adds to the elaborate camouflage they don as they assault an enemy position. Skilled at infiltration, many of Noctan's Guardsmen range ahead of the main force, planting explosives and sowing confusion before hundreds of figures pour from the darkness into the foe's midst as part of a cunning ambush.

They fought alongside the Lacunan Lifewatch and Prospero Spireguard Imperial Army regiments during this campaign. When the Word Bearers eventually revealed their duplicity and sided with the traitorous Warmaster Horus and his rebellion against the Emperor, the Ouranti Draks willingly followed their Space Marine overlords into damnation.

Outremar Regiments
The Outremars were an Imperial Army formation that was active during the Great Crusade and Horus Heresy eras, from the mid-30th through the early 31st Millennia.

The Phantine are known to utilise two elite formations; one, the Phantine Skyborne, are a small force of dedicated Drop Troopers. The other is a particularly unusual regiment known as the Phantine Air Corps. Due to their homeworld's peculiar topography, the extreme geography of their planet forces the populace to live in high altitudes on the peaks of their world's mountains. 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.

Praetoria is a heavily populated Hive World that lies in a star system close to the Imperial naval base at Bakka in the Segmentum Tempestus. 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. They are also easily recognised by their infamous Praetorian Pith Helmet, which is worn as headgear by both the common troops and officers alike.

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.

Though these Guard regiments are primarily composed of immoral, desperate cut-throats, they have been forged into an effective fighting force, and are some of the most hard-bitten, tenacious and outright dirty fighters in the [Imperium of Man]].

Scintillan Guard
The Scintillan Guard are regiments of the Imperial Guard that are raised up on the world of Scintilla, the capital world of the Calixis Sector of the Segmentum Obscurus.

They are uniquely organised into batteries instead of the standard company formations of other Imperial Guard regiments. The Semtexians are known to work in close-concert with supporting regiments and are known to help in the construction of massive earthwork fortifications with their engineering companies. These vital fortifications stretch for many miles behind the main war zones, providing a vital network of protection for hundreds of the Semtexians' static emplaced artillery vehicles.

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. They are the very best that the Imperial Guard has to offer, each man a perfect specimen of health and moral purity, forged by experience and training, not into a simple soldier, but into a one-man assault squad.

Sturm Pioneers
The Sturm Pioneers are regiments of the Imperial Guard raised on the world of Sturm. Recently, the Sturm Pioneers 52nd Regiment took part in the defence of Cadia and its surrounding systems against the Forces of Chaos, commanded by Abaddon the Despoiler, during his 13th Black Crusade in 999.M41.

Tahnelian Airborne Regiments
The Tahnelian Airborne Regiments are regiments of the Imperial Guard raised on the world of Tahnel, located in the Segmentum Solar. 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. Each regiment maintains a high number of Valkyries and Vultures, as well as other specialised airmobile light aircraft. These regiments also make extensive use of elite Storm Trooper squads.

Tallarn Desert Raiders
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
The Tanagran Dragoons was an Imperial Army formation that was active during the Great Crusade and the opening days of the Horus Heresy, from the late-30th through the early 31st Millennia.

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

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. The Tannith First and Only 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. 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.

Tekarn Regiments
The Tekarn Regiments are regiments of the Imperial Guard raised on the world of Tekarn. Tekarn sent one regiment of the Tekarn Armoured to take part in the massive Imperial campaign known as the Achilus Crusade in 777.M41, intended to bring the rediscovered Jericho Reach back under the dominion of the God-Emperor of Mankind.

They spearheaded the initial assault, battering themselves against the Traitors' formidable defences.

Vintor Regiments
The Vintor Regiments are the regiments of the Imperial Guard raised from the world of Vintor. It is not uncommon for a newly founded regiment's number to be recycled following its destruction, a new raising taking the designation of their predecessor. In this way the regiment is re-founded, the new recruits tasked with upholding the honour and traditions of the lost regiment. One notable regiment, the Vintor 823rd, continued to serve the Emperor in the late 41st Millennium, despite being wiped out on more than nine different occasions in the span of a single decade.

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.

Wrawbach Regiments
