History
In 857.M41[2] Colonia was invaded by an Ork Waaagh! led by the Warlord Gharag Badtoof.[1][3]
Some claim that, after Badtoof and its hordes were defeated, the Mortant VII 'Headhunters' regiment went on a three month rampage, ransacking and plundering Imperial settlements. Others, however, believe that the alleged carnage was actually caused by the orks.[1]
Notable Locations
- Cambria River — Site of a pitched battle between the Astra Militarum and Badtoof's orks.[3]
