The Triarii were a specialized formation of World Eaters during the Great Crusade and Horus Heresy. Consisting of five Companies, the Triarii specialized in ship-to-ship boarding actions.[1]

After the Horus Heresy, some of the Triarii went on to form the Riven and join the Black Legion.[2]

Trivia

The Triarii are likely named after the Triarii, who were one of the elements of the early Roman military manipular legions of the early Roman Republic (509 BC – 107 BC). They were the oldest and among the wealthiest men in the army and could afford high quality equipment.
