Late M41 — Freshly raised, the regiment was thrown into the Medusa V campaign under the command of Colonel Hagen von Frohlof. Apart from the Colonel and a second Lieutenant Hennessen, a veteran of the defence of the Cadian Gate, no one else in the regiment had any combat experience. Soon after arriving the regiment was placed under the orders of Grand Inquisitor Belerophus Hothas to aid him in his examination of an as yet uncatalogued Hive Fleet. In pursuit of this goal the regiment suffered heavy casualties in three months of continuous fighting. Resupply and reinforcement became increasingly infrequent. Colonel Frohlof mentioned his suspicions in his personal log, that the Supreme command under Count Graf Harazahn seemed to supply them only when the situation became strategically critical, and even then only at the last minute as was necessary. The last orders to the regiment were directed from Inquisitor Hoth as to the regiments position in the Combat Zone Hydra, deep in the ash wastes. The regiment was lost and considered destroyed to the last man on Medusa V. [10][Needs Citation][11][Needs Citation][12][Needs Citation]
