Overview
The Legio hailed from the world of Urdesh, which faced a slow extinction during the Age of Strife thanks to the loss of their STCs and raids by Pirates and Xenos. During this time they maintained only a single Warlord Titan, the millennia-old Somnium Ultimus. Upon assimilation into the Imperium the Legio numbered only 30 Titans, and they were aided in their rebuilding efforts by the Fabricator-General of Mars Kelbor-Hal in exchange for fealty. Despite ample aid from Mars and the Legio Mortis, tensions simmered underneath the surface as these allies refused to give Urdesh the ability to produce its own Titans.[3]
This desire to become self-sufficient drove them into the arms of Warmaster Horus, who facilitated the shipment of Titan-manufacturing technology and increased aid to Urdesh in the years leading up to the Horus Heresy. Horus also gave the Forge World many lucrative contracts to produce rare Leman Russ variants for the Imperial Army. Their true allegiance to Horus was not revealed until the Cataclysm of Iron, though in truth they took part in many hidden cells loyal to the Warmaster before openly declaring for him.[3]
The Legion is known for its heavy use of allied Taghmata Omnissiah and Imperial Army units. Most famed of these was the "Tempest Throngs", a force of Solar Auxilia which remained loyal to their treacherous masters during the Heresy.[3]
