==Overview==
Its worlds are loyal and besides paying their tithes and taxes, the Moebian Domain manufactures vast quantities of goods for the [[Imperium]]. However its border territories are disputed, as they contain worlds held by [[Xenos]] and [[Daemons]]. The Moebian Domain is of such importance that the [[Imperium]] can not risk it being invaded or lost and so its worlds are specifically protected by its own [[Moebian Regiments]] of the [[Astra Militarum]]. The [[Guardsman|Lasmen]] of these Regiments are raised for the most part on [[Atoma Prime]] and have spent the last several years fighting a pacification campaign in the Moebian Domain's border territories, known as the '''Fringe''', to keep its worlds safe. The population of its worlds are kept ignorant of the true nature of the foes that threatens them and want nothing more than to extinguish the Moebian Domain's light. Because of this, the masses simply refer to this constant threat as the [[Darktide (Moebian Domain)|Darktide]] and know it must be kept at bay at all times. The same is said for the freshly raised [[Moebian Regiments]], until they begin serving their long meat grinder tours in the so-called [[Fringe War]] and finally see the true face of the Moebian Domain's nightmarish foes.{{Fn|1}}
While most serve faithfully, despite the physical and psychological trauma they face, some Moebian [[Guardsman|Lasmen]] are left broken by their long tours. Such is what happened to the highly decorated [[Moebian Sixth]] [[Regiment]], which became seduced and infected by [[Darktide (Moebian Domain)|Darktide]] and are now attacking [[Atoma Prime]]'s '''[[Hive Tertium]]'''. The Lasmen of the Moebian Sixth, however, are not doing so simply for vengeance against what they endured in the [[Fringe War]]. No the poignant truth is that the Sixth truly believe the Darktide has shown them the [[Chaos|light]] and they wish to share this liberating [[Chaos|Nurgle]], with the entire population of the [[Hive World]]. In doing so, the Regiment hopes to free Atoma Prime from the the stagnant rubrics of the Imperium's rule.{{Fn|1}}
