Auric Auxilia
From Warhammer 40k - Lexicanum
The Auric Auxilia is a standing guard that defends the Phalanx, the spaceborne fortress-monastery of the Imperial Fists Chapter. They report to Captain Taelos.[1]
Though its ranks were formerly filled with those Aspirants that failed the Chapter's tests to become Space Marines, this changed once Gregor Dessian became Chapter Master. In the wake of the Great Rift's creation, Dessian ordered the Auxilia's ranks to increase and thousands of Cadians joined, in thanks for the Imperial Fists' aid during the escape from their homeworld. The Auric Auxilia are now led by Praetor-Colonel Talia Karsk, who once served in the Cadian Guard.[1]
