'''{{PAGENAME}}''' is an [[Imperium]] world which raises the Amistel [[Imperial Guard Regiment]]s, including the [[Amistel 24th Cavalry Regiment]].{{Fn|1}}
In 977.[[M41]] the world was invaded by [[Bluehacker]] [[Orks]]. The [[8th Cadian]], [[219th Albitern Grenadiers]], and an unnamed Attilan regiment were dispatched to defend the world. Colonel [[Sackville Slade]] of the Albiterns developed a large rivalry with then-General [[Ursarkar E. Creed]]. Creed's exploits gained him the trust of the Attilans and the High Command, led by [[Field Marshall]] [[Kassel]]. After the defeat of the orks, due to Creed's tactics, Colonel Slade decided to ''"teach Creed a lesson"''. He was however arrested, alongside 20 twenty co-conspirators, and transferred to a [[Penal Legion|penal unit]].{{Fn|6}}
During the [[13th Black Crusade]], the world (presumably Amistel Majoris) was invaded by [[Plague Marines]], and only with the arrival of the [[Drookian Fen Guard]], [[Howling Griffons]] and [[Legio Astorum]] did the tide begin to turn.{{Fn|2}}{{Fn|3}} However, vessels of the [[Death Guard]] later appeared in Amistel's orbit and unleashed a viral contagion onto the world, more virulent than anything the [[Apothecary|Apothecaries]] had seen before. Its atmosphere is now so toxic that even [[Space Marines]] are unable to remain within it for long{{Fn|4}}, and the fighting between the Imperium and the forces of Chaos has now devolved into vicious trench warfare as the world falls into a state of anarchy.{{Fn|2}}{{Fn|3}}
