Editing Cadia (section)

==New Cadia==
In the wake of the Exodus from Cadia, several surviving regiments found themselves in the Agripinaa System. These battered units found themselves pursued by Chaos forces, which included renegade Astartes warbands from the [[Sons of Malice]] and the [[Crimson Slaughter]]. One of these Cadian battlegroups, led by General Gruber, made its last stand on the ice moon of Faith's Anchorage. Although they were eventually overwhelmed, the Cadians went down fighting, with General Gruber himself -- an old man noted in-universe to neither be particularly brave ''or'' inspirational -- spitting defiance at his slayers, and doing one final banzai charge with his power sword.

So focused were the Chaos forces on annihilating Gruber's forces that they didn't notice the ''other'' parts of the Cadian Exodus that had translated into the outer system -- which included elements of the battered but unbowed Battlefleet Cadia. Eager for vengeance, the Cadians fell upon the Chaos Fleet, but even with their numbers it was a close thing, due to the damage the Imperial Fleet had already received prior and because Astartes are really damn good commanders. Then out of nowhere, the Space Wolf [[Strike Cruiser]] ''Stiklestad'' entered the fray, and soon the odds were tipped in the Imperials' favor.

Very quickly, the forces that had destroyed General Gruber's forces found themselves stranded on Faith's Anchorage as the Stiklestad's crew demonstrated what happens when you face Astartes boarders to their ships. With nowhere to go, the Heretics soon found themselves facing regiment upon regiment of very VERY angry Cadian Shock Troopers. It took two weeks to comprehensively clear Hope's Anchorage of Heretic filth.

The Cadians were ''very'' thorough.

In the wake of this, the highest commanding officer of the Cadian military, General Benedikt of the 101st, consolidated his weary and battered forces on Chaeros, the 7th world of the Agripinaa system. It was soon renamed '''New Cadia''', a place to lick wounds and mourn lost comrades, a new place to call home, and a place to strike back from when the time finally came.

As for the other Cadian regiments, it says something that even after the destruction of their homeworld, Cadian regiments are still making up the bulk of the Guard forces in the Vigilus campaign. Even the Cadian 8th is active in the campaign, though they've renamed themselves '''Creed's Legacy''', and are now led by Creed's totally-not-elevated-by-nepotism daughter. New troopers are made up of descendants of original regiment men and survivor colonists.

Many refugees has since fled to Stygies VIII and Agripinaa, Agripinaa's Forge World [[Grimdark|convert them into Skitarii and Servitor forces to run incursions around and into the Eye of Terror]].
