History

Krieg was originally a loyal planet, but the Autarch of the planet declared independence from the Imperium and renounced the Emperor in 433.M39. This appalled the commander of the Krieg 83rd, Colonel Jurten, who decided to destroy the rebels through atomic bombing. Apparently the rebels refused to die and the catastrophic bombing only ended 500 years later. Krieg was reduced to such a hellish, barren and toxic planet it is now classified as a death world. The environmental conditions forces the population to wear air filtration systems to avoid being killed by the toxic atmosphere.

Although the rebels have long since been annihilated, the soldiers of Krieg have broadened their campaign to warfare against all enemies of the Emperor.
