3,981st Vorrdi Light Sappers
The 3,981st Vorrdi Light Sappers, also known as the Yellowjackets, is an Astra Militarum Regiment, that aided in defending Abundantia during the Octarius War, in M42.[1]
History
The Agri World was part of the Sigma-Ulstari System, which had been repeatedly invaded by Orks and the Tyranids of Hive Fleet Leviathan. The Waaagh! of Speedboss Morbad Zagblasta was among the latest to do so and he led his hordes to invade Abundantia. During his attack, the Vorrdi Light Sappers defended Refinery Torqad-Upsilon, alongside the maniples of Sigma-Ulstari's Skitarii and the Freeblade Knight Lady Herrik. They were also able to prepare a significant defense, once they learned the Orks were looting the Refinery's outlying sub-stations. However when the attack finally came, it was an airborne armada that was led by the infamous Flyboy Manik Gorg. While many of the Orks' aircraft were shot down, there was simply too many for the defenders to overcome. The Orks then swarmed the Imperial defenders, but it is not known what became of the Regiment.[1]
