The '''Legio Solaria'''{{Fn|4}} (also known as the '''Imperial Hunters''') are a Loyalist [[Titan Legion]].{{Fn|1}}
The Legio Solaria was founded by the [[Knight World]] Noble [[Mohana Mankata 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. Paying tribute to the Procon Goddess of the Hunt Pahkmetris the Legio Solaria went on to become an all-women Legio, 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}} The Legion would go on to develop a feud with the Legio Vulpa that continued throughout the [[Horus Heresy]].{{Fn|9}}

====Second Battle of Paramar====
During the [[Horus Heresy]] the Legio Solaria remained loyal to [[Terra]]. They battled traitor forces in the [[Second Battle of Paramar]].{{Fn|5}}
