The first Knightly House to be established, House Taranis was founded on [[Mars]] before the formation of the [[Imperium]]. This truly ancient house predates any other by many hundreds of years. As the industries of the red planet developed into a vast metropolis of technological mastery, so too did it evolve to become the first and foremost of the forge worlds, and the Knights of House Taranis were its guardians. The [[STC]] technology supplied to many of the [[Expeditionary Fleet]]s during [[Great Crusade|Mankind’s expansion]] across the stars included designs for armoured suits of exo-armour based on those first developed to be used by the Knights of Taranis. When the Knight worlds were first rediscovered during the Imperium’s [[Great Crusade]] many thousands of years later, it is likely that the Mechanicum used their intimate knowledge of the Knight suits worn by House Taranis to help win the loyalty of those worlds.{{Fn|2a}}
House Taranis remained loyal to the [[Imperium]] during the [[Horus Heresy]], taking part in the [[Schism of Mars|Battle of Mars]] on the side of the forces of [[Kane]]. All but two of them were killed, fighting the forces of the [[Dark Mechanicum]]. Two members of the Knights of Taranis survived and went into hiding, but their later fate is unknown.{{Fn|1}}
In 230.[[M41]], the Knights of House Taranis battled a [[Daemon]]ic incursion on [[Tarsok V]]. Despite heavy losses, they managed [[The Tarsok Incursion|to defeat]] a [[Great Unclean One]] and win the day.{{Fn|5a}}
