Cadia: Another Imperial Victory!

Greetings, all Guardsmen of the Imperium!

By now you must all have received the news regarding the so-called Fall of Cadia. We have received confirmation that Cadia has indeed been destroyed - however, contrary to popular belief, Cadia did not fall.

The Regimental Standard has published a report regarding the truth behind Cadia - the destruction of planet was actually a masterfully crafted strategy to deceive the arch-enemy and lure them into a trap. Devised by none other than the tactical genius, Lord Castellan Ursarkar Creed, the Imperium succeeded in destroying the majority of the traitor and renegade forces after trapping them on Cadia, only to blow up the planet along with the vile xenos pylons located all over its surface. Consequently, the Imperium achieved a significant victory and crushed Abbadon the Failure...I mean Despoiler's plans of a successful 13th Black Crusade, and once again disarmed him. Literally. With his ambitions in ruins, the traitor fled back to the Eye of Terror, and experts have concluded that it is very unlikely that he will launch another attempt at an invasion of Holy Terra, at least in the near future.

Now that the campaign is over, the Imperium will be taking a well-deserved break - which means vacations for all you Guardsmen who have fought bravely for the Emperor on Cadia. While this might not suffice for the sacrifices your regiments have made over the course of the war, it is better than nothing. For those of you still dissatisfied with the compensation of a year-long holiday, please report to your regimental Commissar for negotiations.

Once again, a very excellent job done by you all, and the Imperium would like to extend its thanks to all the Guardsmen, both dead and alive, who have contributed to the valiant effort of the defense of Cadia. Its destruction is just the beginning of many more victories for the Imperium, and a clear sign to the arch-enemy - we are not afraid of blowing up more of the Imperium's planets to destroy them, if necessary! Even if it's supposed to be a so-called vital pillar of the Imperium's defense!

For the Emperor!
