Sabaton 40-1X, once a prosperous colony, filled with great forests and grassy hills, place where all your dreams could come true, or that was untill Demonic Crusade. It has to be said that Crusade itself never actualy attacked colony itself but it's spread had put a mark on history of the people living here, even though they weren't raly aware of what is happening in galaxy at large, quite frankly for them it looked like UNSC just forgot about them, and to be fair they probably did. But Alas people of Sabaton waited 3 years to see what happens, and nothing happened they were left on some planet far away from earth, not being able to comunicate with because of certain malfunction of communication systems they weren't able to repair, so they declared independence, person who was much beloved and was leadear of the colony at the time, Nicolas John Sabaton, from whose name is derived first part of the planets name, second part is derived from age when he died, yes Nicolas Sabaton died at the age of 40, 1X part comes form colony that Nicolas established in celebration of their independence. For almost 3 decades people had lived in peace and prosperity, but soon it this golden age would come to a close.........

Around 27 years after delcaring Indepndence, explorers ,of one of the colonies that were esablished after death of Nicolas Sabaton, found a gigantic sinkhole with what apeared to be a crashed frigate in the middle of it, some would curse their curiosity, but to be fair they couldn't have known what would await them there, Our Grand Enemy. To this day there is not much known what exactly happened there but we know that before noon, from that frigate would come a flood of cyborg insects that would destroy everything in their path, and so began our Endless War......

At first many thought that this was the end, the biblical apocalypes, a war to en all wars, many had fallen these first days and many more would fall, before th day that we truly started fighting back> What remained of us had banded to togheter to form fundation for our future protector, they formed Militia, at the time it wasn't anything special, just people with rifles and few machinguns, and even fewer artilery pieces, but they had devised a plan, they lured our Grand Enemy into position that they had fortified beforehand, the Bastile, our gratest fortress born out of X1, it stands proudly to this very day, but in thier time it were just trenches, barbwires and artilery , but they had pushed them back, and saved our people.........

We pushed so hard, that we even reclaimed some of the lost colonies, many miles of land were reclaimed that day, it was only natural that our Grand Enemy would push with strength that exceeded our own, and again we lost many miles of land, but then we would push again, and the they would push again, then us, then them until everything grinded into a stalement, both sides launching ofensives in which many would die, and many more would arrive to take their place, it was not until recently that we would truly dig in for good, and Defense Korps of Sabaton would truly be born.....

D.K.S truly was born in the trenches, as militia would push back the enemy, and enemy would push back, there was a massive effort to create a network of treneches, it was done because any gains weren't that stable, so in case of frontline being broken, the network would enable our forces to quickly regrup and easliy establish ne frontline, of course such project couldn't be done just like that, it needed good communication, coordination, and so D.K.S started to form, at first it was simply organizing construction of the trenches, but soon after that it would take control of the frontline troops and of the new ,somewhat, planetery goverment...........

When Militia pushed back our enemy, the colonies weren't that much organized, many had their own goverments, that sadly would still bicker about certain things. This hampered our war effort and made logistics even more of a hell than battlefield itself, so then D.K.S, that had ,back then, only recently gained control of all soldiers on the front, started to get pretty anoyed with endless paperwork and conflicting raports about reasources, that made coordinating solid defense nigh imposible, so instead of taking new batch of recruits and puting them on the front they decided to use them to bring order, to bickering colonies, luckly there wasn't any bloodshed. After that Field Marshal of D.K.S would proclaim himself first president of the New Military Republic of Sabaton.......

As you can probably guess already, those soldiers that brought order to colonies were precursors to todays MP division, man who keep the order in fostress citys, those who fend of any attacks of gigantic worm beasts of the Grand Enemy, for our fight isn't just fought in the trenches, we should ever vigilant for enemy will seek any way to crush, to consume us, to leave not even a trace of our existence..... my son I never had lied to anybody, and I won't lie to you, I fear that one day our defenses will be breached, and our Grand Enemy will consume us all........

At this little child looked up at the person on whose knee he was resting, this person was his father, who is wearing blue coat, black pants and armored jackboots,
- Dad?
- Yes Joseph?
- How did you join Military?
- Well hmmm where should I start,from my birth?
- Dad please I know that we live in society that encurages us to join military, but people don't need to if they want to, and you look like the person who, even after being indoctryinated ,would certain things..........
- Well you got me, ok It all started one afternoon with one History lesson..........

- My History teacher was very patriotic man and very passionate, his lectures were the stuff of legends among students, the way he talked, the way he moved, well let's just say that quite talented if it comes to inspiring people, the only thing that stoped him from becoming politician, was fact that he never served in military, and now he was too old for it, but he never mind that, it seemed that loved history as much as he loved his country. So now imagine me a young man on a verge of maturity, still his hormones are buzzing about, he is reckless and while he doesn't exactly agrees with notion of glorious death on the battlefield, he agrees that someone should fight against those monsters, quite frankly I almost just waltzed up one day to recruting station to be signed up, but then, I met your mother. She was person that realy saved back then, if it weren't for her I would probably die in a trench while tring to pull out some heroic stunt, we would meet after lessons chat with each other and then when were of age we just married, it was the happiest time of my life, so much so that it all kinda melts into this big pink blob of nostaligic happienes, and then you were concieved it was again very pleasent and it almost would have been part of that blob but...... your mother got very sick, and well I didn't have that much money, back in the day, to buy right medication, and all wounded from battlefield or relatives of soldiers were always favored on hospitals lists, so I had decided to trade my life for yours and your mothers. Now you may ask why didn't I signed up for MP duty well it was because they didn't have this privilege, of having your loved ones be on priority lists, it was excused by the fact that you were always near your loved ones so you could take care of them, but serving on the frontlines? well then we will take care of people you love since you are risking your life in a muddy trench for your country..... but back to the story, when I sigend up i was thrown straight into the fight, and let me tell you it was masacre, sufice to say I got few field promotions just from that, but I didn't become Colonel just like that, but I was half way there. It was then when I met my commanding officer, Old General Maxwell "Excalibur" Prachett, a good man and a good general, but sadly he suffering from some kind of terminal disase, so one day ha walked up to me and said that he wanted me to take the position of main commander of frontline division, he explained everything to me, he explained that he wants to be with his family during those last days of his life. I couldn't reject this offer, I just couldn't. And with that I was promoted into rank of Colonel and given all responsibiltis of main commander of the Frontlines...........

This sound had echoed through the room, for a second all those that were there sat still for a momment, they didn't move even for a inch, like time itself had stoped,
"This is it then, my pass is over"
As if on cue the young Joseph had climbed down from his father knees, leting him stand up, which he did. After that Colonel had walked to door of his apartment, he opened them slightly, on the other side were standig 2 soldiers in gas masks, one of them noded to him, he did the same, but also gestured to them, to wait for a momment, he closed the doors and turned towards living room, now next to Joseph was standing his wife, Cathrine, she was holding in her hands his breastplate. He walked up to them firstly taking breastpalte and puting it on, then he kneeled in front of his son, and the he proceeded to pat his head and huged him, then he stood up and turned to his wife, for a momment they looked into each others eyes, silently, for there weren't any words that could be said now, she only gave him his Helmet, gas mask and armored gloves, which he proceeded to put on. After that Colpnel had left his house and met soldier that were sent after him
- Colonel Degrant are you ok?
- Yes yes, it just saying goodbye to family
- Oh.... I am sorry sir I didn't-
- Don't be sorry it isn't your fault, you are doing your job that's it
- Oh ok sir ehmm please come with you are-
- Needed on frontlines I know, after you captain
And so like that Colonel Casper Degrant left his home and went to his other one, but instead of one son, there , for him, were waiting thousnds of sons and doughters, all loyal to him, all looking up to him, all awaiting his orders to battle............
