### **Notable Commanders**

Colonel Nasia Nazoraios, Colonel Midas Nikarios, Colonel Dimitrios Fotelis, General Kyros Stanakis.

The **Megali Regulators** are the Astra Militarum regiments rasied from the planet Hinduja Megal in Segmentum Solar. They are a confident and vainglorious regiment, dedicating their efforts to protecting worlds across the Imperium and destroying the enemies of Mankind. They are most known for for their unyielding resolve to complete a mission no matter the cost. The Regulators' legendary tenacity has led to them often suffering heavy casualties in battle, and their most celebrated regiments have been destroyed and refounded numerous times, resulting a glorious history of martyrdom in the name of the Emperor. These losses are not in vain, for many a battle has been won by the stubborn and uncompromising efforts of the Regulators.

## History

Hinduja Megal is an ocean world with a Mediterranean climate; its populace lives on the many mountainous islands scattered across its surface. Each populated island has at least one fortified citadel called an Acropolis. Each Acropolis is tasked with raising and training regiments for the Regulators, and are the garrisons of the planetary defense force.

Hinduja Megal has been part of the Imperium for countless millennia, with fragmented ancient records indicating the planet was an early conquest of the Great Crusade. Some regiments of the Megali Regulators claim that they can even trace their lineage back to Imperial Army formations raised from the planet that fought in the Great Crusade and the Horus Heresy. However, the Regulators in their modern form date back to M36, during the Age of Apostasy. When Sebastian Thor began his uprising against Goge Vandire, Hinduja Megal was among the worlds that rejected Vandire's tyranny. In response, an army of Frateris Templars were sent to subjugate Hinduja Megal for rebelling. Though they put up a valiant defense, the Megali Regulators could not hold out against the invasion for long. The planet's major cities and islands were occupied by the invaders, with the remaining Regulators retreating into the mountains to continue their resistance. This situation would continue until the Wind Runners chapter of the Adeptus Astartes, based on the neighboring world of Hinduja Velo, came to the Regulators' aid and liberated Hinduja Megal from Vandire's forces.

Afterwards, the leaders of Hinduja Megal concluded that they needed to reform their PDF and Imperial Guard forces in order to better defend their world and make sure it did not fall to invading forces again. The task of enacting reforms and constructing new defenses was assigned to General Sotirios Primellis, who would go on to build fortified Acropoli on every populated island, with the larger islands being home to multiple Acropoli. Each Acropolis would be home to PDF garrisons and would be responsible for raising regiments of Megali Regulators. Centuries later, these defenses would be put to the test when an invading warband of Orks made planetfall in Hinduja Megal's southern hemisphere in the Sudros Archipelago. The islands' defenders, in their Acropoli, were able to hold out against the Orks until reinforcements could arrive and exterminate the Greenskins.

In the Era Indomitus, the regiments of the Megali Regulators have seen deployment across the Imperium, from Segmentum Pacificus to the Eastern Fringes. As they defended their homeworld on multiple occasions in the ancient past, they defend worlds across the galaxy, earning their place as valued warriors of the Imperial Guard.
