The Moebian 21st regiment has been deployed on ocean world of Incron[2] for extensive campaigns on the world and its many floating hive cities. Due to this, the 21st utilize pale blue fatigues as camouflage, and are experienced in urban and amphibious warfare.[1d] A key feature of their appearance is the rebreathers they are rarely without. They seem to constantly wear them due in part to superstition.[1b]

Atoma 1st Tour

Moebian 21st[1]

While away on a rare resupply on Atoma Prime, they have now find themselves serving Interrogator Rannick in the war being waged on Atoma Prime.[1c] Their recon squads were some of the first to investigate the lower hive and find the source of this initially assumed civilian uprising, few survived the horrors found.[1a] Their psykers sensed the barrier between Hive Tertium and the roiling sea of the Immaterium and portents of flies, rot and decay were everywhere.[1f]

Since then, the 21st have faithfully been serving the Inquisition in fighting heretics, garrisoning strategic locations, and serving as the only known military organisation aiding the Inquisition in Hive Tertium.text-middle[Help]

As the war in Tertium continued, the heretics would begin producing blighted stimms in the Carnival district. Eventually these contaminated stimms would make their way into the supplies of the Moebian 21st.[4] Entire platoons of would be turned into newly infected poxwalkers, known as groaners. Surges in blighted stimm dissemination would occur multiple times.

Combat Doctrines

The Moebian 21st make use of Valkyries, like most Astra Militarum regiments.text-middle[Help]

The Moebian 21st have grown accustomed to warfare in damp, dark, and cramped hive cities. As a regiment with mixed infantry, they've developed creative urban warfare strategies. Making good use of their psykers, the Moebian 21st use psykers' force shields to funnel enemies into deadly crossfires, ideal for the cramped conditions found in the depths of a rundown Hive city.[1e]

Known Squads

  • Squad Nexos - The first recon squad sent by Rannick to investigate deeper into the hive was squad Nexos. Their first tentative dive into the bowels of Tertium. The squad's corpses are be found hanging above the elevator entrance of Hab Block Laranax, a quarantined area of significant Nurgle corruption. Sergeant-Major Morrow identifies the former squad making up this grisly display as Squad Nexos over the vox comms.[3a]
  • Reclamation Strike Force Beta-5 - A squad of Moebian 21st that secure the Metalfab-36 consignment yard after a squad of Rejects clears the area and disables the skyfire defences. Hadron Omega-7-7 mentions that this squad is 'one of the best'.[3b]
