→IG Regiment Overview
}}
During the campaign for [[Boucheroc]], a city on Vardan, the 902nd Vardan Rifles was the only surviving regiment of three (722nd, 831st, 902nd) deployed to protect the planet's supply of [[promethium]] from an [[Ork]] [[Waaagh]]. The landing forces were decimated, losing one full regiment (722nd) in just a week, and another not long after (831st). The survivors of the destroyed regiments were regrouped and integrated into the 902nd Vardan Rifles. As casualties mounted, the 902nd was reduced in size from a regiment, down to a two hundred man company. The Ork assault was halted at the city of Boucheroc, denying the invaders access to the underground promethium supply there. Due to bureaucratic delays, the low tactical and material worth of the planet and the absence of competent ground leadership above company level, the campaign for Boucheroc has left the 902nd pinned down in the city for more than ten years.
