Wary of the power of these killing machines if they joined together - power enough to overthrow empires as they had done in dark times - it was decreed from the beginning that the Legio Cybernetica would be broken down into small independent units known as '''Cohorts''', effectively limiting the power of any single [[Magos Dominus]] who commanded one. At its height the Legio Cybenetica was organised into several thousand cohorts. Each cohort was similarly organised into one to three hundred maniples of one to five Robots, commanded by a Legio [[Cybernetica Datasmith]] [[tech-priest]]. A cohort would be attached to a larger formation, such as an Imperial crusade, and spread their forces out to support each unit. Cohorts rarely took to the field as a whole - exceptions including the titanic fights of the Horus Heresy - with most battles involving just four or five maniples.{{Fn|1}}{{Fn|7}}
