==History==
===Founding===
The Legio Solaria was founded by the [[Knight World]] Noble [[Mohana Makata VI]] in the early [[Great Crusade]] after she was denied the right to pilot a [[Knight]]suit on her homeworld of [[Procon VI]] despite winning a horseriding competition to decide future Knights. Her skills nonetheless impressed the [[Mechanicum]], and she exiled herself to become the founder of a new Titan Legion with their aid. The Paying tribute to the Procon Goddess of the Hunt Pahkmetris the Legio Solaria went on to include all-women, with vat-born genetically modified subjects serving as pilots and the few number of males acting as [[Tech-Priest]]s and [[Servitor]]s. The Legion became known for its embrace of emotions and humanity and hit-and-run tactics, putting it at odds with the rest of the cold and ruthless Mechanicum. Under Mohana, now known as Great Mother, they eventually developed the 3rd best engine kill/loss ratio during the Great Crusade.{{Fn|10a}}
Later during the Great Crusade, the Legio Solaria clashed with the [[Legio Vulpa]] after the latter callously destroyed a city of 50,000 civilians during the Compliance on [[Dendrictia]].{{Fn|10a}}
====Battle of Beta-Garmon====
Later during the [[Battle of Beta-Garmon]], also known as the '''Titandeath''', the Legio Solaria contributed a significant force under Domina [[Princeps]] [[Mohana Mankata VI]]. The legion's forces were decimated during the battle, with Mohana herself dying. It was speculated that so many of their number had been lost that the Legion would now need to recruit men to rebuild itself.{{Fn|6}}
