Flakgor IX is an Imperial planet.[1]

It was the site of a campaign between the Cadian 119th Rifles Regiment and Orks. In one of the battles of this campaign when the troops of the 119th successfully repulsed the Orcs' attack, they unexpectedly came under charge from the Stompa, which came to the aid of the Orcish troops. Inspired by its appearing, the Orcs again launched a full-scale offensive, threatening to overthrow the Cadians' battle formations. At this point, Veteran Sergeant Gruis of the VI Demolition Engineers tried to stop the Stompa. Together with his subordinates — Ptes Stanlin and Datery they took all explosives they could find, after which the brave ones managed to get close to Stompa and blow themselves up right next to her legs. As a result of the explosion, Stompa was critically damaged and could no longer fight. The Orc attack drowned out. According to the results of the end of the battle, Colonel F. Darius of the 119th Cadian requested submit to the award posthumously: Gruis to Silver Aquilla, and Ptes Stanlin and Datery to Bronze Aquilla.[1]

It is unknown how the campaign ended, but it happened before the Thirteenth Black Crusade where 119th Cadian was destroyed defending Cadia itself.[2]
