==History==
The Legio Oberon was created during the [[Great Crusade]] on the recently founded Forge World of [[Anvari]] as an attempt by its thrall-master [[Accatran]] to secure their power in the realm of [[Ultramar]]. It was created via donations of a fragment of Titans from the [[Legio Destructor]]. In honor honour of this agreement, both swore to protect the other. In accordance with Accatran's desire to forge relations with the [[Ultramarines]], the Legio Oberon was often given to the forces of [[Roboute Guilliman]] during the remainder of the Crusade. Their time with the Ultramarines ultimately proved to temper their previously warlike nature while also enhancing the tactical abilities of its [[Princeps]].{{Fn|5}}
The naming of the Legio Oberon proved contentious when [[Mars]] learned of its existence over a decade after its founding, for the title of ''Death Bolts'' already had been given to the [[Legio Honorum]]. Following much contemplation, it was agreed the Legio Oberon would take the title of ''Death Bolts II'', while the Legio Honorum became known as ''Death Bolts I''.{{Fn|5}}
