The Eye of Terror, the Cadian Gate, Cadia, the landing zone... The Vostroyan Firstborn is a unit of the Imperial Guard, considered one of the toughest and most resilient warriors in the Cadia Sector.
Long before the arrival of the Imperial Army, when Abaddon had just begun his strategic raids.
The Cadian High Command's mobilization order brought a large number of troops to the Cadian Gate. At Fort Tylos, the Cadians built hundreds of new landing zones to accommodate the arriving reinforcements.
At Fort Horn, Fort Helotas, and Fort Flammas, supply bases were built for the grand assembly. Millions of Astra Militarum Soldiers who arrived early were packed together in the landing zones, while the Cadian High Command, led by Governor Malus Boroska, prepared to welcome the arriving Vostroyan Firstborn reinforcements. Many believed the Vostroyans were the toughest warriors in the Star Sector.
However, when the reinforcements arrived, they unfurled the banners of Chaos and unexpectedly launched a surprise attack on the Imperial Army gathered at the assembly point.
The unprepared Cadian Governor was killed instantly, and most senior officers also perished. The leaderless Imperial Army gathered at the landing zones quickly became targets for the traitors' slaughter, and a bloody battle ensued.
The Cadian forces suffered heavy losses. The Cadian 7th Regiment was split and surrounded by the Firstborn traitors, and the Astra Militarum Soldiers fought to the last to defend their regimental banner.
Fortunately, Commander Creed of the Cadian 8th Regiment, who had just returned from an expedition, launched a timely counterattack, saving his allies and the entire battlefield.
Creed, who was elected as the new Lord Kreed, then managed to take command of the remaining Cadian forces at the landing zones and prevented further enemy advances, but heavy losses had already been incurred.
And now... Imperial reinforcements have arrived, along with the Imperial Prince and the Emperor's progeny... "My Lord, we accept your command..."
Creed and the Cadian Astra Militarum Soldiers knelt on one knee, greeting Rogal Dorn as he disembarked from the "M2 Hercules" armed transport ship.
Behind Rogal Dorn were Volkhagen, the current Chapter Master of the Imperial Fists, and Helbrecht, the High Marshal of the Black Templars (some pronounce it "Helbrechtt," but this name is clearly German! It should be pronounced according to German pronunciation, as "Hitt").
"I am Rogal Dorn, and I am the Commander of the Eye of Terror's defenses, appointed by my Father and Uncle Li."
Soon, countless transport ships descended from the sky. These transport vessels were of models that these Cadian Astra Militarum Soldiers had never seen before, and they had only recently been added to the Imperial Military Manual by Li Feng.
Soon, the front ramp of an M2 Hercules transport ship opened, and a dozen Imperial Fists and Black Templars Space Marine emerged from it, accompanied by two enormous tanks. These tanks featured massive 152mm electromagnetic cannons, heavy ceramite composite armor, and "Fossil" heavy reactive armor. Three Astartes tankers, wearing lighter "Marauder power armour," peered out from the tank hatches.
"Project 292 - AST (Astartes Modified)"
Soon, from the ships that followed, a large number of Astra Militarum Soldiers wearing new uniforms and high-tech equipment emerged. A large rocket launcher vehicle was transported by them to Cadia.
"HIMARS High Mobility Artillery Rocket System"
Their high-quality uniforms, full exoskeletons, smart tactical goggles on their helmets, night vision thermal imaging... and that emblem with the "Coiling Dragon Double-Headed Eagle"... "It's Prince Li Feng's Princes Praetorian Guard!"
