my regiment is from an ice moon in the cadin sector called morium. my regiment is the morium 5th. morium is a moon that is the closesed moon/planet to the eye of terror. it has held out against 2 massive chaos invasions. the first one happened in 111.911 2 weeks after the regiment was founded. at the time there was only 5 imperial guard regiments to defend the planet. the chaos hord were droven off after the bloody battle 4 the capital city of simarium. the morium forces overall took 3 million cassualties 3 quarters of the casualties were taken by the morium 5th. it took 2 years to get the regiment back to it's former strength. now it had the nickname the blasted, bombed and butchered barstards of morium. the next invasion took place 70 years after the first one in 181.911. the morium 5th was a reserve regiment stationed at the orbital defence fortress of killiakis. the overall commander of the regiment was colonel shilaka. the chaos fleet started their bombardment of the fortress. the bording parties stormed the fortress. 500 of the origonal 800 men stationed there were slaughtered. the remeinder regiment evacuated to the planet serface to report the capture of the orbital defences. almost emmediately the morium 10th, 2nd and 5th mustered a bloody counter offensive that drove the chaos back to milostone feilds were the imperial forces would destroy the traitors once and 4 all. 800,000 guardsmen died that day, but untolled millions of chaos were destroyed. now the morium 5th were only 500 men strong. they returned back to simarium were they were hailed as hero's by civilians and officars alike. now they fight in hundreds of imperial crusades on countless snow and ice worlds. they are the best morium has to offer.
