Moebian 6th Regiment - Moebian 6th Regiment: The Moebian 6th Regiment is a Traitoris Militarum regiment, formerly of the Moebian Regiments of the Astra Militarum, that has turned Traitor to the Imperium and embraced the worship and cause of Nurgle, the Chaos God of disease and despair. Imperial forces now often refer to the Moebian 6th's troops as "Scabs."Like most of the Moebian Regiments, the Moebian 6th was raised on the capital world of the Moebian Domain, the Hive World of Atoma Prime, and before its corruption long gave excellent service to the Emperor in defending the domain from the forces of Chaos and xenos threats in what was known to the people of the domain as the Fringe War.The Moebian 6th was heralded for solar decades as the toughest and most decorated regiment among its fellows. The Moebian 6th was celebrated by the citizens of Atoma Prime as their greatest guardians and heroes before their fall to Chaos.Since its corruption, the Moebian 6th has determined that it will bring the truth of Nurgle to all the people of Atoma Prime, and will slay anyone who stands in their way of freeing their people from the stagnant rubrics of the Imperium. They are aiding the Chaos Cult known as the Admonition in spreading their beliefs through Hive Tertium, the primary hive city of Atoma Prime.Like their allies among the Dregs of the Admonition, the Scabs' primary objective seems to be summoning Nurgle's Daemons into realspace by weakening the veil between the Warp and the mortal universe through the unleashing of death on a truly massive scale across Tertium with the Plague Lord's supernatural diseases. All across Tertium the Heretics have written in the Dark Tongue portions of a Daemonic summoning ritual that claims, "Nurgle shall be called with Death."The cultists' and Traitor guardsmen's willing embrace of Nurgle seems to have its root, like many Chaos Cults active in the Imperium, in the rage and hatred the Emperor's subjects so often feel towards the difficult circumstances of their lives. This is the hatred the cultists and the soldiers of the Moebian 6th have for the corrupt ruling-class of Atoma Prime and the Moebian Domain; the endless cabal of greedy nobles squabbling in pointless struggles for power while the hive city and the greater Moebian Domain rots and crumbles around them, its people living lives oppressed by tyranny and economic deprivation.This rage is intensified even further for the guardsmen of the Moebian 6th who fought in the Fringe War and were badly traumatised by what they faced on the frontlines and by their anger at being sent out to face such horrors by the nobility of the Moebian Domain. As such, embracing Nurgle can be seen by the guardsmen as obtaining a form of "freedom" for themselves and the people of Hive Tertium from the oppression and poverty of life in the Imperium, however insane and twisted such freedom may ultimately be.Unlike their allies in the Admonition who are known as "Dregs" among Imperial forces, the Scabs possess heavier armour like Flak and Carapace Armour, superior warfighting skills and more advanced weaponry drawn from their Astra Militarium service.In response to the dire threat represented by the Moebian 6th's activities, the Ordo Hereticus of the Inquisition under the command of Inquisitor Grendyl deployed its requisitioned military forces and Acolytes into Hive Tertium in a race against time to save the hive city before it can grow into a cancer that could consume the entire world, or even eventually threaten the entire Moebius Domain.
