'''[[General]] Vance Stubbs''' is the commander of the [[Imperial Guard]] forces stationed in the [[Kaurava]] system.

Stubbs had barely taken command when a [[Warp storm]] opened on Kaurava IV, wiping out the 253rd Regiment. The sudden arrival of a large force of [[Alpha Legion]] [[Chaos Space Marines]] caught much of the 252nd Regiment unprepared, and they suffered heavy losses, leaving Stubbs with barely a quarter of the troops originally stationed in the system.

Hoping to reclaim the Kaurava system for the Imperium, General Stubbs thrust the [[252nd Conservator Regiment]] into the conflict; but this goal was complicated by the arrival of the [[Blood Ravens]] [[Space Marines]] and [[Sisters of Battle]]. Because the Warp storm had erupted under the watch of the Imperial Guard, the newly arrived [[Blood Ravens]] and the [[Order of the Sacred Rose]] suspected them of causing it. But Stubbs refused to bow down or submit to [[Inquisitorial]] re-conditioning, and was forced to wage war on the other Imperial factions.

If the Imperial Guard is defeated in their stronghold at Dussala Precinct on Kaurava I, General Vance Stubbs escapes on a [[Valkyrie]] as his bodyguards are cut down, remarking that ''"Though my army lies in ruins today, I have not yet done fighting, and I will remember who my enemies are."''

Stubbs' standard armaments are a pair of [[Power Claws]] and a wrist mounted [[Bolter]]. The Power Claws can be upgraded to a pair of [[master-crafted]] Power Claws and the bolter can be replaced with a [[Storm Bolter]]. To maximize lethality, the master-crafted lightning claws can be upgraded to a pair of [[Battle Claw]]s and then he can use a [[Plasma Pistol]] along with his Storm Bolter. He also has access to numerous battlefield enhancements such as targeting optics, [[bionics]], [[carapace armour]] and carapace pauldrons. Stubbs also receives some prestigious [[Imperial Guard Honours]], such as the [[Macharian Cross]] and an [[Ibram's Vestment]] which allows him to call upon a [[Kasrkin]] bodyguard as part of his Command squadron. Stubbs also has an ornate [[laspistol]], strapped on a holster on his left hip but he only uses it in a killing blow against a defeated enemy.
