==History==
===Age of Strife===
The Legio was founded upon [[Anvillus]] during the [[Age of Strife]] in order to combat the [[Jindarii]], a race of nomadic bio-mechanical hunters which wielded machines similar to [[Titan]]s. The first Knights of the House proved adapt in falling the temple-cities of the xenos. The final battle of the war saw the Legio conquer the forge-moon of [[Yythe]], located in the third closest star system to Anvillus. During the war it is said the Grand Matriarch of the Hyzebaru Tribe of the Jindarii, who stood 43 meters tall, slew seven Titans before being slain in turn. After the battle a 2km long line of Jindarii skulls were left along the Moon's greatest river, each one engraved with the stanza ''Here our greatest blades rest, firm in belief
they knew death’s art, taught instead by those who stalk beneath its
shroud''. From that day forth, the Legio Vulpa bore the name of
Death Stalkers with pride.{{Fn|7}}
The effect of the war saw the Legio mimic their Jindarii foes, adopting the same cumming, adaptability, and emphasis on stealth and speed over ranged weaponry. These tactics were compiled in the ''Libraxus Tacticate Vulpa''. In the centuries that followed the Legio proved instrumental in expanding Anvillus' domain.{{Fn|7}}

During the Great Crusade, they are known to have battled the [[Jindarii]] [[Xenos]] race.{{Fn|7}}
