Legatus is an Imperial world of the Coronid Reach region of space.[1]
A penitentiary Mining World, it was originally the home of anti-Imperial dissidents who resisted the Imperium's conquest of Agathon during the Great Crusade. The planet yielded much wealth and valuable metallic ores. Before the Horus Heresy, it had already been subjected to 3 Xenos raids: twice by Orks in 940.M30 and another by extra-galactic beings of unknown origin. As a result, it was heavily defended during the Battle of the Coronid Deeps.[1]
