They first came in the middle of the night. A group of Orks stealthily made planet fall, and proceeded to ascertain the quality of our defenses. Eventually, they arrived to the first watchtower in a ruined city, ravaged by sandstorms only weeks before. The guard tower stood as a powerful symbol of order and control amid the rubble. Yet, lurking in the shadows, were twelve large and green beings, lurking in the dark. They began to travel on the outskirts, observing us, without us realizing. Eventually, they tripped a wire, and some of our patrol began to get wise to their presence. One group of brave men began to tail them, but suddenly, they jumped from the surrounding windows and utterly crushed them, without a sound. Eventually, we believed ourselves safe and with nothing to worry about. However, those green xenos had been hiding, waiting for us to lower our guard. They went on, keeping to the shadows. That was when they triggered the second wire. This time, more than one patrol went to investigate, and travelled unknowingly right in the path of the Orks. Several were carrying flamethrowers, and torched the brave soldiers, implacable in their advance. But in the end we overpowered them. We cornered them, and blasted them into non-existence. In the end, nothing was visible except for charred Ork and a pair of footstep leading away. My hated nemesis, the Nob Grimnob once again eluded my grasp; but if my gut feeling is to prove correct, we shall have many more chances to brutally dismember one another. We most certainly wish to do so.

The Imperial Guard Background, as written by IHEARTLARGEBLASTTEMPLATES:

Corona IV is a desert world in the Wheel of Fire ,an isolated group of 500 planets in Eastern Spiral Subsector of Ultima Segmentun near ork empire of Cheradon. Corona IV is a known for its massive hives containing billions. But outside of the hives is sand flats and huge rocks and remnants of towns trying to expand from the hive but could not survive in the harsh desert. It is a very unforgiving environment but its strategic importance is guarding the Cheradon Empire of Orks from wreaking havoc on to the Wheel of Fire forge worlds which supply the Imperium with classified war material. The brave men guarding this gate world is the men of the 501st Coronan Grenadiers. They are very hardy troops coming straight from the population of Corona IV. They wear desert camouflage and specialize in massed tank and infantry charged. Also for their Elite core of storm troopers who drop in behind enemy lines and destroy vital objectives. Little do the Coronans know A Green tide is building up and ready to begin a new assault on the Wheel of Fire subsector and its planets.
