===Founding===
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, and humanity - putting it at odds with the rest of the cold and ruthless Mechanicum. Under Mohana, now known as Great Mother, they eventually developed achieved the 3rd best engine kill/loss ratio during the Great Crusade.{{Fn|10a}}
