→Overview
Long ago, [[Forge World]] [[Obscurus]] once supplied much of the Moebian Domain.{{Fn|4e}} A significant amount of old [[Cadia]]n battlegear is found across the Moedian Domain, but the reasons why isn't specified by history.{{Fn|4d}}
On the Moebian Fringe there are war-torn [[Death world]]s{{Fn|8}} and [[Feral World]]s where the [[Fringe War]], a war of pacification to hold back the [[Darktide]], has been rumbling on for years.{{Fn|1}} The galactic north of the Domain is dotted with [[feral world]]s – worlds and are the site of constant Fringe War battles to hold back the Darktide and as such considered a part of the [[Fringe WarDarktide (Moebian Domain)|Darktide]]s.{{Fn|3i}}
The stable [[warp route]]s and [[astropath]]ic communications from the Moebian Domain to the rest of the Imperium have been significantly disrupted by [[Warp storm]]s recently. This has essentially left the Moebian Domain isolated from the rest of the Imperium.{{Fn|8}}
===Fringe War===
{{main|Fringe War}}
Many of the Moebian Regiments are raised from Atoma's population and sent to fight in Fringe Campaigns along the Moebian Domain's border territories, sometimes referred to as the ''Moebian Fringe Region''. The Moebian population is largely kept ignorant of the true nature of the foes that threaten them. The [[Darktide (Moebian Domain)|Darktide]] is the general label given to these unspeakable threats constantly pressuring their borders. The same is said for the freshly raised [[Moebian Regiments]], until they begin serving their long meat-grinder tours in the 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}}
