The Cymrudian 209th

Forces Once a year a single regiment is mustered from the planet of Cymrudia, with the 5 main islands that make up Cymrudia each contributing to the regiment. The army is then supplemented with vehicles which can't be produced on the planet due to its limited production capabilities. These vehicles are sourced from off world through the sale of the planet's mineral wealth.

Troops, transports, front line battle tanks, artillery, and flyers are all utilised by the 209th. The combined arms approach has worked well for the regiments produced by Cymrudia over the years, the flexibility to engage with a variety of foes has lead to the regiments being the first thought for many commanders in the Eastern Fringe. The 209th utilises a large amount of artillery which are defended by entrenched infantry supported by Leman Russ'. This general deployment is altered depending on what resources are available to Lord General Thaedus Quinn.

After almost two centuries of falling sea levels the mineral wealth hidden beneath the ancient oceans became easily exploitable. With Imperial forces withdrawing from the cluster to fight against hive fleet Leviathan, the T'au considered it valuable enough to risk the wrath of the Imperium and to take the planet by force. The T'au launched a full scale assault to capture the planet so as to use the mineral wealth there to bolster their own armies in order to launch another sphere of expansion. They had planned to arrive after the newest regiment had been taken off world, but the troop transport ship arrived 2 months late after exiting the warp. The newly formed Cymrudian 209th were in the process of boarding when the Tau invasion started. The 209th tried to hold off the invasion but were inexperienced, outnumbered, and outclassed. After a short bloody battle the order to retreat was given and the 209th made a brake for their transports to get off world to the warp where the Tau wouldn't follow.

Cymrudia is now firmly in Tau control and the Tau are pushing on to other imperial planet's in the  cluster. Many humans on these captured worlds have joined the greater good and now fight alongside their invaders as Gue'vesa. These traitors are held in upmost contempt by the men and women of the 209th.

The 209th are now under the command of Lord General Thaedus Quinn, who has been tasked with bringing back the light and strength of the Imperium to the frontier, and to recapture those lost worlds. With the constant attrition from Thaedus' brutal tactics the regiment has had to supplement its ranks with whatever loyalist reinforcements are available. Fortunately for the 209th in the grim darkness of the 41st millennium there are plenty of regiments under manned due to casualties which can be brought into the fold of the 209th.
