Changes

==History==

The origins of the organization are traced to pre-Imperial times as they stood as part of the armed forces of the Mechanicum of [[Mars]]. According to legend, they were reported to have entered into the [[Calixis Sector]] during the [[Angevin Crusade]] for reasons of their own. Their duty was the protection of the [[Cult Mechanicus]] strongholds within that region of space. Their base of operations within that area is within the [[Lathes]] system, which serves as a mustering ground for the Myrmidons, who often are dispatched in small bands to reinforce the defences of the Mechanicus as well as to seek out and destroy their enemies. Whilst they are largely independent, they are linked to the [[Archmagi]] of The Lathes who serve as guarantors of their dominion.{{Fn|1}}
