The twenty '''Space Marine Legions''', also known as the '''Legiones Astartes''', were created by the [[Emperor of Mankind|Emperor]] to take part in the [[Great Crusade]] in what was later known as the '''First [[Founding]]'''. All the [[Space Marines]] of a Legion ("battle-brothers" amongst themselves) were modified with help of the DNA samples of a single [[Primarch]]. As a Primarch was found, he would receive the [[Legion Master|command]] of his respective Legion.
