Rujikar is a current Octarius War battle site, being fought between the Imperium and Orks.[1]
Among the Astra Militarum forces taking part in the battle are the Death Korps of Krieg, Serican Bushmen, Nekrosan Skull Takers and Nordrian Berserkers regiments, along with the 909th Penal Legion. Hundreds of Kill Teams were formed from these forces during the Imperium's ten-month long effort to capture the huge Bloodpine forest on Rujikar's northern-most continent. Some were ordered to lace tracts of the forest with booby traps, go on search-and-destroy missions to wipe out outlying Ork encampments or intercept the Xenos' own Kill Teams. Many were also sent on suicide missions to distract the Orks with fuel dump sabotages, midnight camp razings and flank charges to buy time for the main Imperial armies to build defenses or secure more ground. Regardless of their task, though, a large number of these Kill Teams were never heard from again.[1]
