The '''Cadian 616th''' was a [[Regiment]] of the [[Cadian Shock Troopers]].{{Fn|1a}}

==History==

It was among the [[Imperial]] forces assigned to defend [[Subiaco Diablo]], after the [[Plague of Unbelief]] spread across the [[Hive World]] and gave rise to hordes of [[Plague Zombie]]s.{{Fn|1a}} This later proved{{Fn|2}} to be an opening battle{{Fn|1a}} of the [[13th Black Crusade]],{{Fn|2}} and the 616th and [[Cadian 412th]] were charged with defending '''Hive Septus''', as the undead attacked the living. While the 412th protected Septus itself, though, the 616th defended the wasteland surrounding the Hive. However Subiaco Diablo was overrun by Plague Zombies three days after they began to rise and the [[Cadian]] [[Guardsmen]] believed that only Hive Septus still resisted the undead. Eventually, the Plague Zombies attacked the Hive in such massive numbers that the 616th was completely destroyed, save for one surviving Guardsman who was able to make it back into Septus. This Guardsman passed out afterwards, but was found and was taken into a hab unit to recover.{{Fn|1a}}
