The Sixers was the informal name for a regiment of tech-guard, led by Colonel-priest Klayden, that fought in service to Archmagos Khobotov.[1c]

Stationed aboard the 674-XU28, the regiment's actual name was a sequence of 12 alphanumeric characters that denoted its size, composition and base camp on the vessel. The regiment's nickname of Sixers was derived from the fact that this sequence began with the number "6".[1c]

In late M41, the 674-XU28 supported an Administratum raid of the Van Skorvold Star Fort, alongside two Strike Cruisers of the Soul Drinkers Chapter.[1a] In the course of the raid, the Soul Drinkers sought to recover a lost relic of their Chapter, the Soulspear, which had fallen into the possession of the Van Skorvold Cartel.[1b] However, Khobotov ordered his tech-guard to steal the Soulspear from the Space Marines[1b] and then threatened to destroy the star fort using a Geryon Ordinatus platform.[1c] The Soul Drinkers refused to yield, launching an attack on the Ordinatus. A battalion of the Sixers were one of the many tech-guard units stationed on the platform to defend it[1c] and were completely wiped out in the subsequent fight by Sarpedon and Squad Givrillian.[1d]
