Age of Strife

Elysia, a verdant world on the outer region of Segmentum Solar, home to the Elysia Assault Regiments. During the Age of Strife, Elysia had managed to maintain contact with nearby colonized star systems. Harnessing established trade routes in the sector using primitive space travel technology. However the Elysia system was characterized by numerous asteroid fields and dense gas clouds that were notorious havens for human and xenos pirates. These small raiding fleets needed to constantly be kept in check to prevent the collapse of trade and communication in the sector. A planetary defense force was established to serve the dual role of defending Elysia, and the systematic destruction of any pirate activity along the vital trade routes.

Due to the necessity to keep the trade routes open, Elysian soldiers had to serve with the planetary defense force for three years. After which time, candidates were selected and rigorously trained in airborne assault, sub-orbital insertion and ship-to-ship boarding actions. Elysian soldiers had perfected the art of rapid strikes in concert with fleet and orbital support to effectively combat elusive enemies. Resulting in stability along the trade routes, as Elysia prospered from the exponential growth of its economy.

Great Crusade

The Carinae Disaster (Unknown Date.M30)

The conquest of the Carinae Sodality remains a black mark on the history of the Elysia Regiment, a campaign that cost horrific and unnecessary casualties to the Imperial Army units of the 27th Expeditionary Fleet.

The 27th Expeditionary Fleet arrived in the Carinae System with a coalition task force, consisting of 30,000 Legionaries of the Raven Guard and 65,000 (27,000 Elysian) soldiers of mixed Imperial Army Regiments. Initially the campaign made swift progress with the conquest of the "Thousand Moons of Carinae" immense void-cities that circled the otherwise planet-less primary. Directed by the keen tactical acumen of the Raven Guard Primarch Corax, the coalition task force exploited Carinae's moons greatest weakness. Rather than assaulting the entire star system at once, Primarch Corax used the mobility of his forces to strike one void-city at a time. After the first month of the campaign the task force had captured 65% of the Carinae System, with the Elysia Regiment only suffering light casualties.
