The '''1st Kronus Regiment''', nicknamed '''"Liberators"''', was an [[Imperial Guard Regiment]]. It was founded on [[Kronus]] sometime during the [[41st Millennium]], created on the spot from ground forces under the command of [[General]] [[Lukas Alexander]], who had been sent to capture or kill [[Farseer]] [[Taldeer]]. {{Cite this}}

When the scale of the war on Kronus became apparent, Lukas Alexander was named [[Governor Militant]] of Kronus by [[Segmentum Command]]. The 1st Kronus Regiment made landfall on the remains of the old Imperial city of '''Ironworks Bay''', which was made the new planetary capital by Alexander and renamed '''Victory Bay''' in anticipation of his great victory on Kronus. An ancient [[Hellstorm Cannon]], part of the [[Horus Heresy]]-era [[Imperator Titan]] ''[[Aquila Ignis]]'', was found there by [[Magos]] [[Explorator]] [[Gaius]]{{Fn|1a}} and other [[Techpriest]]s accompanying the Regiment.{{Cite this}}

Due to the high possibility of facing [[Eldar]] forces, it appears that the force Alexander brought with him was far larger than a normal [[Imperial Guard]] Regiment (also considering that it's losses were well over 2000 men) and incorporated both armor, infantry, [[Ogryn]] auxiliaries, and [[Kasrkin]] commandos. Techpriests travelled with the army as payment for the ability to study the Hellstorm cannon near Victory Bay.{{Cite this}}
