→First Contact
==First Contact==
<sup>1</sup>First contact with the Imperium was during the [[Damocles Crusade]] on the world of [[Sy'l'Kell]]. Troops of the [[Brimlock 17th Dragoons|17th Brimlock Dragoons]] were in transit to the front lines from their Landing zone when they were ambushed by Kroot. The columns forward scouts were eliminated by Kroot Carnivires before they could get a warning off to the regiment following behind. As the main body of the regiment pushed through a narrow forrested defile the Kroot fell on them. Three kroot kindred were involved in the attack. Surprise was complete, scores were killed in the opening moments of the ambush. Colonel Konstantin Griffin and [[Commissar]] Eigerman quickly recovered and held the Imperial line long enough to fight clear of the trap. From then on the column was contiually harried by the Kroot, until Colonel Griffin linked up with the [[Space Marines]] of the [[Scythes of the Emperor]]. With the two Imerial Imperial forces combined the Kroot faded away deeming the combined strength too much for direct confrontation.
