1st Regiment of Uthred Kar

The 1st Regiment of Uthred Kar was founded in 787.M41 and is feared for their close combat skills. They have fought in different battles all over the galaxy and have for example battled the tyranids hive fleets Behemoth and Leviathan alongside the Ordo Xenos and the Deathwatch in different occasions.

Foundation
In 786.M41 the Inquisitor Gerrek Maw from the Ordo Aethernus discovered an unknwon planet and with the agreement of the High Lords of Terra started to colonize this planet. It was finally named Uthred Kar and the 1st Regiment was created out of guardsmen from all over the Milky Way galaxy in 787.M41.

The first Legionnaire Master of the Regiment and Lord Gouverneur of the planet became Magus Rex, a man who has already fought alongside various Space Marine Chapters and Regiments of the Astra Militarum. He made the planet an important Forge World for the Imperium and created more Regiments for the Planetary Defence Forces. In the end the 1st Regiment was one of all in all 46 Regiments. Rex achieved this goal only a few years after the beginning of the colonization in 792.M41, because of the great help of the Departmentum Munitorum.

First battle against the tyranids
In late 795.M41 the hive fleet Behemoth attacked Uthred Kar without any warning and nearly destroyed the whole planet. Only because of the clever strategy of Magus Rex the people of Uthred Kar were able to survive the Invasion. A lot of industrial constructions were destroyed but in the end the united power of the 46 Regiments and a clever strategy defeated the tyranids. "I have never before seen a species like that and I´ve fought in a lot of battles! So as far as I can say they are a big threat to the Imperium of Mankind and we have beaten them! This again only prooves one thing: Never mess with us!"

- Legionnaire Master Magus Rex

Destruction of the chaotic forces
In 845.M41 the 1st Regiment left the planet together with the 2nd and the 3rd Regiment of Uthred Kar to fight against an Invasion of Chaos Daemons on a nearby civilized planet.

Fall of Melturan I. of Uthred Kar
During the last battle against in the daemonic servants of the Warp in a daemonic citadel, created by mighty Tzeentch Sorcerers, Melturan I., at this time the current leader of the 1st Regiment, fought in the front line against a Daemon Prince of Tzeentch, together with a few elitist Veterans, but underestimate the power of that Warp Entity and died in a cruel warpflame.

After the death of their leader the remaining guardsmen react with rage to that event and destroyed the last deamons and sent them back into the Warp. So they could finally win the battle after two years of exhausting war. The Company Commander of the 2nd Company Domin Aethernus was promoted to the new Legionnaire Master of the 1st Regiment, because of his excellent Performance in battle.
