--------INTRO--------
Kronus is dominated by its one habitable continent. Abandoned by the Imperium of Man, the planet eventually came under the sway of the emergent Tau Empire. It was a largely peaceful colony, until an Imperial Guard regiment under the leadership of General Lukas Alexander arrived upon the planet, in pursuit of the Eldar Farseer Taldeer, due to her actions during the war on Lorn V.
The Blood Ravens Space Marines, led by young Brother Captain Davian Thule, arrived on Kronus in search of artefacts left behind by their forebearers. Striking from their Castellum Incorruptus in North Vandea, they sought to eliminate all other factions on the planet, including the Imperial Guard soldiers under general Alexander.
--IMPERIAL GUARD DEFENCE--
After arriving on Kronus, general Lukas Alexander became governor-militant and set about to reclaiming the planet for the Imperium. When the enemies launched attacks on his capital, he prepared to repel them with extreme care.
Experts in planetary defence the men of the Imperial Guard were heavily fortified in Victory Bay any attacks would face well armed and well supplied soldiers backed by powerful armored columns and artillery positions.
The Guard's only real weakness was it's morale. Although most soldiers served honourably, the men of regiment's 5th company had proven less eager to fight and were placed under the command of regimental commisar Anton Gebbet in a forward base on the northern shore of the Victoria River. Without Gebbet's whip the company and it's base would surely fall.
Other companies were positioned in forward bases in more sensitive areas, ready to drive enemy off. Still determined attackers could overrun those positions.
Governor Alexander remained confident however. Indeed any opponent who made it through his forward positions would find themselves staring down the barrel of the massive "Hellstorm" cannon of an Imperator's Titan.
--IMPERIAL GUARD FATE--
When the Blood Ravens leveled the governor-militant's palace in Victory Bay they brought an end to a sad conflict within the Imperium. Both Captain Thule and Governor Alexander were acting on the orders of their superiors. And neither could back down when those orders brought them into conflict. Captain Thule and Chaplain Mikelus went so far as to praise the slain Governor for the indomitable dedication to his orders.
With his death they arranged for the transport of the surviving guardsmen off the world. Most were sent toward Segmentum Command with testimonials that they had done their regiment proud.
The Blood Ravens were less forgiving to the rebellious guardsmen of the 5th Company. Although these men had sworn their loyalty to the emperor's Angels of Death upon the death of commisar Gebbet, the Space Marines show them no favour.
Indeed these guardsmen had taken up arms against their regiment and the Blood Ravens judged them traitors to be executed.

This battle served a very important purpose: telling those damn space marines where to stick it.
Imperial Guard are badass.
