The [[Desert Lions]] took part in the battle and were accompanied by an attached cohort of [[Legio Cybernetica]] [[robots]], when the [[Chapter]] attacked the world's defence forts. The [[Space Marines]] were preceded by the cohort, which had been programmed to advance on the defences in an apparently mindless fashion. Though the robots were easily destroyed by the defenders, they succeeded in mapping out the defenders' fire-plans and blind spots. When the Desert Lions launched their attack afterwards, only seven Marines were lost. All of the surviving robots of the cohort, were inducted into the Chapter as honorary members as a mark of respect.{{Fn|2}}
