==History==
===Age of Strife===
The Legio Vulpa was founded upon [[Anvillus]] during the [[Age of Strife]] in order to combat the [[Jindarii]], a race of nomadic bio-mechanical hunters which wielded fielded machines similar to [[Titan]]s. The first [[Princeps]] of the House proved adapt adept in felling the xenos' temple-cities. 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 cummingcunning, adaptability, and emphasis on stealth and speed over ranged weaponry. These tactics were compiled in the ''[[Libraxus Tacticae Vulpa]]''. In the centuries that followed the Legio proved instrumental in expanding Anvillus' domain.{{Fn|7}}
===Great Crusade===
In the Legio Vulpa's early history they took part in the [[Great Crusade]] and whad had a secondary fortress on [[Mars]]{{Fn|7}}, where they had a decades long dispute about ancient territorial rights with their fellow Legio, the [[Death Bolts]].{{Fn|1a}} During the Great Crusade they leveled levelled the city of [[Biphex]] on [[Dendritica]] instead of allowing negotiations to be given a chance, drawing the ire of the [[Legio Solaria]].{{Fn|3}}
