The Legio Praesagius is one of the most ancient Titan Legions with a service record second only to the [[Triad Ferrum]]. Originally founded on [[Mars]], the Legio subsequently took residence on [[Gantz]].{{Fn|4b}}
The legion gained great fame during the [[Great Crusade]] at [[Tentrion]].{{Fn|3b}} Other hard-fought battles followed as the True Messengers found themselves assigned to the vanguard of a number of [[Expedition Fleet]]s, often fighting alongside the [[XVII Legion|XVIIth]] and [[XIII Legion|XIIIth]] [[Legiones Astartes]]. In many campaigns they found themselves summoned to battles others had dubbed impossible, called upon to champion the armies of the Great Crusade and to bolster flagging morale. Amidst the howling dust wastes of [[Akeron Cards]] and the towering cities of [[Benthur]], they fought with stoic pride and utter devotion to the cause of the fledgling Imperium, and paid a high price in blood and the precious Battle Titans that were the soul of the Titan Legion to achieve victory.{{Cite thisFn|3b}}
By the dawning of the [[31st Millennium]] the True Messengers had been crippled by the continuing pace of their deployment, reduced to a third by casualties and with many of their surviving Titans unable to take to the field due to damage. Though the reputation of the Titan Legion remained intact, it could ill afford to remain at the tip of the spear of men and machines that was the Great Crusade. In recognition of the Titan Legion's service and eager to add to the defences of his newly established realm, [[Roboute Guilliman]], [[Primarch]] of the Ultramarines, prevailed upon the [[magos]] of the newly founded Forge World of Gantz to offer a new home to the Legio Praesagius.{{Fn|3a}}
