Legio Vulcanum II

The Legio Vulcanum II are a Traitor Titan Legion of the Dark Mechanicus that repudiated their oaths to the Emperor of Mankind and followed the Warmaster Horus in service to the Ruinous Powers during the Horus Heresy. There is very little information in Imperial records about this Titan Legion's founding, though it is believed that they were founded before the Age of the Imperium sometime during the Age of Strife. The Legio Vulcanum II hailed from within the Vulcanis System upon the Forge World of Stygies VIII in the Ultima Segmentum, a large moon orbiting a massive ringed gas giant on the outer fringes of the star system

Legion History
Stygies VIII was once home to two Titan Legions, the First and Second Legio Vulcanum. While unusual for a single system to support two Legions it is far from unknown, as Mars itself supports three. Stygies VIII was granted two Legions due to its close proximity to the Eye of Terror and attendant risks of Chaos attack on the Forge World. Most of the brother-Legion’s machines were on crusade with Warmaster Horus when the Horus Heresy began. In a series of bloody surprise attacks, a core of Chaos cultists back on Stygies VIII seized control of the Forge World’s manufactorum facilities. Reduced to a small group of Loyalists, these valiant defenders protected the Temple of Knowledge against the robed cultists and the hastily-improvised berserker machines that they had produced. Expecting to die, the Loyalists were trapped and alone, but their liberation came from an unexpected quarter. On the thirty first day of the siege, the Eldar Craftworld of Saim-Hann sent forces of graceful Titans supported by speeding jetbikes in their hundreds, smashing the Chaos cultists. They did not come to help the mon-keigh, but to deny Chaos a staging post so close to the Eye of Terror. When the Horus Heresy finally ended both the traitorous brother-legions fled into exile within the Eye of Terror. Stygies VIII is now home to a third Titan Legion, the Legio Honorum.
