History
The Helion Legion were founded in order to provide Astartes forces for the further flung Imperial worlds.[4]
They are currently defending the isolated Industrial World Arkalli, from an invasion by both Orks and Plague Marines.[2]
Culture
In their service to the Imperium, the Chapter is isolated for long periods of time and make do with poor supplies and little reinforcements.[1] The chapter suffers from a shortage of Power Armour and recruits,[1] and so relies heavily on Scouts.[4] Terminator suits used by the Legion usually have one panel still painted in the original colours of the Ultramarines. The Chapter badge on Terminator suits is replaced with a roll-call of previous wearers of the suit.[1]
