History
During the Octarius War, they conducted numerous destabilization missions against Hive Fleet Leviathan within the Octarian Empire. Because of their experience fighting the Xenos, the 17th Xien Pythons were among the Imperial forces that Inquisitor Athocles Van Roth recruited in M42. The Inquisitor then used this force to defend himself, as he sought to master using Baddkrasha's Crown on the Ork and Tyranid infested Maiden World Veloria. However using the Xenos device, drew numerous Ork warships to the Crown's location and Van Roth's forces were overrun.[1]
