|'''Catachan XXVII'''
|''Flaming Devils''
|The Catachan 27th were stationed on the world Gerran prime to fight against the [[Necrons]] in 962.[[M41]]. It went very badly for them and within a year they were almost wiped out. They fought a desperate last stand in a jungle ruin, led by [[Commissar]] [[Von Blacke]], though their company commander cowardly fled the battle in the first [[Valkyrie]] that arrived, and called off any more Valkyries, leaving his men to die. However, a maverick pilot risked his life to go to the ruins and rescue any survivors. Although his Valkyrie was badly damaged (almost destroyed, in fact), he managed to rescue Von Blacke and the remaining handful of survivors. Von Blacke promptly executed the Commander for cowardice. The remaining Flaming Devils were merged with the under strength [[Katon Dragoons]] and Von Blacke was re-assigned.{{Fn|42}}
