## History

### Creation

Formed in 199.M41, the Regiment was formed on Krieg, their Homeworld. They were formed with a strength of around 250,000 personel. They were quickly created and deployed to their first warzone, the War of Desilor Kratte.

### War on Desilor Kratte

The 247th premier deployment, they fought against the Xenos forces of the Harlequins on the Earth like Mining World of Desilor Kratte. The war was won for the Krieg, but not without casualties. Nearly the entire 42nd Company Grendiers were wiped out, along with heavy casualties in the concluding battle. The success here proved the regiment, and as stalwart Krieg they ventured out once again to fight the Emperors wars.

#### Siege of Proctus Secundus

Following the victory on Desilor Kratte, the 247th were sent off to the Hive world of Proctus. One of the hives on the surface, Proctus Secundus, had fallen to Tau invaders. The Kriegs task was to take back the city, so a Siege was planned with a 7 year timeframe. Casualties were taken during the landing, and the Krieg were under assault as they set up their Basecamp. They were assisted by the forces of the Deathwatch in establishing a perimeter, destroying the Tau outposts set up around the main city. After 2 years of gruelling probing assaults, and artillery bombardments they made it inside the city. The fighting continued in the streets of the Hive, more brutal than before. This in-city fighting lasted 4 years, but finally a great push was ordered and tens of thousands of guardsmen attack the Tau defence lines. One of the attacks broke the Tau's lines, and encircled the other defensive lines. The Siege was won on time, even forward by half a year.

### Maereth Campaign

After the previous successes, the 247th were sent to aid the Tulean 33rd Armoured Calvary Regiment in eradicating the Orks on Maereth. Maereth, a mining world, had become besieged by Ork forces and much of the planet had already fell. The Tulean 33rd Arm. Cav. had been holding them off for now, but the signs of attrition and fatigue were clearly showing.

## Notable Campaigns

### War on Desilor Kratte

Desilor Kratte had proven the perfect stage for a Harlequin invasion, and from the skies they danced down to wage war upon the inhabitants. The administratum had sent the 247th Siege Regiment to go and clean it out.

#### Landing

The 247th landed on the planet surface relatively left alone, except for the stray Harlequin skimmer party every now and then. They had set up their basecamp in the empty spaceport of Prima Spatium Portum, and within 3 days had the camp ready to begin operations. They soon prepared their forces,
