The Solar Auxillia Auxilia was founded in the early days of the Great Crusade as the forces of the [[Emperor]] required fleet-based armies capable of dealing with "petty wars" and colonial suppression while the [[Legiones Astartes]] handled grander campaigns. Imitating the [[Void Hoplites]] of the [[Saturnyne Ordo]], the Solar Auxilia were trained, armed, and deployed in the same fashion and were issued with the same [[Solar Pattern Void Armour|Saturnine Void Armour]]. Their doctrine emphasized discipline, coherence, aggressive defence, and concentrated firepower, making them highly effective soldiers. The first ten [[Regiment]]s of the Solar Auxilia were known as the ''[[Saturnyne Rams]]'' and were more or less the Void Hoplites of the Saturnyne Order. Soon, more regiments were raised from [[Terra]] and [[Luna]] in addition to Saturn. As the Great Crusade ground on, the Sol System could no longer provide enough manpower for the much-demanded Solar Auxilia forces, so recruits were drawn from elsewhere.{{Fn|2b}} These new recruits were mostly typically drawn from regions with a strong privateer and naval tradition.{{Fn|9}}
