Eighty-First Tarradis
The Eighty-First Tarradis are an Astra Militarum Regiment that is credited with stopping the rampage of the Warboss Manchewer.[1]
The Warboss' had devastated half a dozen Imperial worlds, when the Regiment was sent to save Abram's World from the Manchewer's Ork horde. As they battled the Xenos, Eighty-First sent a Kill-Team of Guardsmen to directly attack the Warboss, but they failed. All save for the wounded Guardsmen Aberfell Duscaris, who lost an arm, were killed, but shortly afterwards were attacked by new foes. Due to his wounds Duscaris could only make out vague details about these attackers, but they slaughtered the Manchewer and the Orks protecting him, before quickly disappearing. A shocked Duscaris was then able to contact the Eighty-First about the Warboss' death and the Regiment went on to defeat leaderless Ork horde, while Duscaris was saved with medical care. Afterwards, Duscaris told the Eighty-First's General that the Kill Team had failed and it was in fact the mysterious attackers who were responsible for the Manchewer's death.[1]
However the population of Abram's World's Sector, needed to hear that the Regiment had saved them, so the General lied and claimed the Eighty-First had killed the Warboss. Duscaris and the few who knew the truth, were then sworn to secrecy and vowed to never reveal the truth of the matter. The Eighty-First were later credited with what became one of the Imperium's greatest victories and Duscaris and the Kill Team were heralded for their heroism. After hearing of his exploits, Duscaris was recruited by the Ordo Xenos Inquisitor Zaretta Ngiri, who was not taken in by the official story of the Eighty-First's victory over the Manchewer. Duscaris told her the truth and from his vague descriptions, Ngiri surmised that Eldar Harlequins had been responsible for the Warboss' death.[1]
