Overview
The Legio was formed from Legio Venator on Arachnus during the Cataclysm of Iron and was named after the three celestial bodies of Arachnus (the planet itself and its two moons). Desiring independence, after purging their homeworld of any who sided with the Imperium, the Dark Tide embarked on a ruthless campaign across the Belt of Iron against loyalist and traitor alike.[3][4a]
At the end of the conflict Arachnus was invaded by Venator loyalists, supported by the Legio Atarus.[4a] The Legio Tritonis surrendered to the Imperium and pleaded for mercy.[3] According to records, all of the rebels of Arachnus were annihilated, but reports exist of Titans in Tritonis livery active on planets across the Belt of Iron.[4a]
Known Titans
- Bellator Libertas — Warmaster Titan.[4c]
- Chainbreaker — Warlord Titan originally known as Sonus est Omnissiah and had served in the Legio Venator since M28. It was retitled following the Legion's reforging.[3][4b]
