Saturnyne Ordo

The Saturnyne Ordo was a Human regime during the Age of Strife.^[1]

The ordo came to dominate Saturn and operated a highly disciplined military arm known as the Saturnine Fleet which was famed for its armoured void hoplites. During the early Great Crusade they signed a treaty with the Emperor to join the Imperium. The Saturnyne Ordo continued to have an influence on the Imperium in the form of the Solar Auxilia, which were largely based on the Ordo's Hoplites.^[1] The Ordo, now part of the Imperium, also continued to provide skilled naval officers to the Crusade.^[2]
