| Hailing from the Sector Capital, the Crusaders are a powerful army of zealous troopers with a tremendous wealth of combat experience and a long regimental history. Typically heavily-armoured, and armed with a great deal of close combat experience thanks to Avalonus' unique planetary culture, the Crusaders are often used as linebreakers. The regiment favors Melta and Lascannon heavy weapons, and are well-equipped by the forges of Hive Gergenir.

|One of the oldest Guard regiments in the Sector, the Sagisu Legionnaires have marched beneath the banner of the Imperium since the days of the Great Crusade. Hailing from the overcrowded hiveworld of Sagisu, the Legionnaires have a roll of honor as long as the Avalonian Crusaders, and never fail to remind others of the history borne by their regiment. Their glory has been bought in blood, for millions of Legionnaires have been sacrificed in grinding wars of attrition, but so long as Sagisu births men it shall feed the wars of the Imperium.

|The Shimmerwelt Heavy Dragoons are newly-founded regiments, raised to feed the voracious appetite of the sector’s wars and crusades. The 4th Heavy Dragoons were recently destroyed during the '''Battle of Heresy Field''' on Uraniborg, after breaking in the face of the enemy's zealot engines. The Dragoons hail from a glacial mining world and are well-versed in tunnel fighting and putting down labour rebellions, with a preference for mounting Flamers on their [[Chimera#In_Warhammer_40000|Chimeras]] and [[Sentinel|Sentinels]].

|A rare example of a regiment specialized for ocean warfare, the Poseidon Sea Guard are often sent out of the sector to serve in distant crusades. The Sea Guard regiments return to their homeworld periodically for resupply and reinforcement, ensuring a constant churn of veterans who supply new recruits with much-needed experience. Heavy Bolters, Rocket Launchers, and Mortars provide man-portable heavy firepower when the Sea Guard operate beyond the range of naval ordnance.
*'''Famed Battles:''' <small>The Seventh Battle of Avalonus, The Liberation of Gathalamor, The Villagus Tech-Suppression</small>
*'''Famed Battles:''' <small>TBD</small>
| Raised from the wreck-strewn world of Ixlamad, the Ixlamad Armoured is equipped only with vehicles and weapons salvaged by the great pit-cities of their homeworld. Each regiment is a highly eclectic mix of vehicles built in uncounted forges scattered across the Segmentum, returned to duty by the devotion and skill of the Reclamator Magi. Many of their troops are augmented by the Mechanicus, and treat their war machines with as much devotion as any enginseer.

*'''Famed Battles:''' <small>TBD</small>
| Though little regarded by the rest of the sector, Ganth produces some of the fiercest warriors ever to fight beneath the banner of the Imperium. With an unshakeable faith in the Emperor, these brightly-colored warriors charge into battle like berserkers, wielding chainaxes and Flamers with all the zeal of a Redemptionist crusade.

|Most void regiments are raised as Imperial Navy armsmen, but the Krydae Void Cataphracts are a rare exception. Their home system, the Krydae Field, is a maelstrom of broken worlds and trapped starlight, orbiting a black hole. Preferentially deployed in void assault operations, the Void Cataphracts have broken orbital fortresses, trapped xenos raiders, and taken heretic starships. Their favored special weapons are grenade launchers and meltas, useful within the confines of a void boarding action.
*'''Famed Battles:''' <small>The Harrowing of Apostate Charles, The Battle of Sinfeld’s Vale, The Eredswar</small>
*'''Famed Battles:''' <small>TBD</small>
|One of many feral regiments raised within the sector, the Rana-Tophe Stalkers achieved particular infamy for their actions during the Harrowing of Apostate Charles. Roving bands of heretical zealots would be found scalped and spiked among the canyons of Pillar, the victims of Stalker scouting forces protecting the flanks of the Imperial forces. Since then, their brutality and bloodlust have become a byword for unseemly excess within the Guard, their success in the name of the Emperor their only shield from rebuke. Each Stalker is skilled with throwing axe, as is the practice of their homeworld, and these axes often fetch a high price after battle for each is lovingly endowed with devotional scenes and prayers to the Emperor.
The Age of the Dark Imperium, also known as the Era Indomitus, is the current period of Imperial history, beginning after the destruction of Cadia in the Thirteenth Black Crusade and the formation of the Great Rift. During this period we find ourselves in the Chaagrut Sector where war has broken out dangerously close to Holy Terra. Chains of catastrophic Warp Rifts have isolated the sector while depositing enemies of the Imperium originating from across time and space.
A Tau fleet, fleeing from unknown battlefields, has arrived in the Sector, trailing two ravenous Tyranid Hive Fleets. The Hive Fleet Raksasha immediately began a horrific campaign of planetary infestation and consumption in the agri-world cluster known as The Vines. Genestealer cults rose to meet them, using industrial fertilizers and waste to help create bio titans of unfathomable size before being consumed in turn.
In response the Order of the Twice-Blessed Towers has mobilized from the hives of their Shrine World, bringing with them the combined might of the Imperial Guard Regiment Skaði's Thralls and the warhound hosts of the Knights of the Autumn Court. The guerilla warfare of the Thralls and the heavy reconnaissance of the Knights of the Autumn Court are directed by Order Palatines who set up devastating shock and awe attacks that leave the surviving Tyranids reeling. Despite their victories the outnumbered Imperial Forces are unable to slow the progress of Hive Fleet Raksasha, who absorbs its losses with distressing ease.
A Shield Hose of the Adeptus Custodes arrive on the Shrine World of Skaði XVIII, to the joy and awe of the Sector's citizens. Tensions rise however as it becomes apparent the Custodes are there to fortify and cleanse the shrine world ahead of possible attack. While the Shield Host is successful in rooting out heretics and mutants, their activities draw troops and supplies that could be used at the front.
But Fleet Raksasha is not the only threat the Chaagrut sector faces. Hive Fleet Nihiloor is smaller, but potentially even more dangerous. Worlds ravaged by Nihiloor are left as graveyards filled with poisonous gas and corroded metal. Worse still are rumors that Nihiloor captures prisoners, infecting them with worms that carve their way to a victim's brain and take control. These enthralled prisoners are then released, traveling to safe worlds to sabotage Imperial defenses.
The tyranid invasion unfortunately comes during the 70 year cycle of the Tide, a chaos warband that emerges from the ruins of the now extinct space marine chapter headquarters on Skaði VI. Skaði's Thralls, the planet guard highly prized for their combat prowess is forced to retain a large portion of their forces to contend with the threat.
And there are rumors the greenskins and eldar are on the move.....
