Welcome to For the Emperor!, the rp series where you command a unit of cannon fodder in the miserable universe of Warhammer 40K. The series will be episodic with role players taking control of an Imperial Guard Regiment of the Astra Militarum as it serves through the horrific battles and grueling campaigns of the 41st Millennium. Now since each In-Character thread is episodic a role player is not stuck with one Regiment all the time and can switch or possess a new one and customize them however they wish.
The Story
Episode 1
The Amerikon Sector, Segmentum Obscurus, is in turmoil! In 326 of the 41st Millennium the Sector was stricken by a Plague of Unbelief. The Sub-Sector Aethonia, core-ward, was struck by this Plague almost exclusively. Within weeks the Hive World of Ephon II went silent, followed by the Agri-World of Ephon IV in the same system a day later. 13 days to the mark the Ageon system 1.7 light years away went silent. Imperial Navay Patrols dispatched to these systems never returned. Finally at day 28 it was confirmed that the shambling hordes of the undead were seen in the cities of these silent worlds as the Industrial world of Perkin's Reach was overrun. Chaos was at work here, and its whispers spread to over a dozen worlds as their populace's revolted against Imperial authorities. The entire Sub-Sector was considered lost by day 91 as Chaos forces under a figure named The Archdeacon of Corthaur invaded the Sector Capital of Saint Helia. Conquering 30% of the planet within a week before Imperial forces in space and on the ground managed to halt the invaders.
For days the fighting ground on as the Sector marshaled it's forces and prepared for a Counter-Offensive on Saint Helia to regain the initiative.
