Legio Ignatum

The Legio Ignatum (Fire Wasps) is a Loyalist Titan Legion of the Collegia Titanica, one of the military arms of the Adeptus Mechanicus. 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 home of the Legio Ignatum is none other than Mars, the centre of the Cult of the Machine and seat of the ruling Fabricator General. Mars is also homeworld to two other unnamed Titan Legios (classified).

Legion History
The Legio Ignatum is one of the oldest and most esteemed Legions within the Collegia Titanica. The Legion fought throughout the Great Crusade and still retains a number of Titans blessed by the Emperor himself. Later, the Legion fought throughout the darkest days of the Horus Heresy, defending the Emperor’s palace during the Battle of Terra, against the insurmountable hordes that Warmaster Horus had brought to bear. Innumerable individual tales of personal heroism and individual sacrifice survive from that time and the Fire Wasps have more than their share. To this day the Legio Ignatum is the only Titan Legion granted the singular honour of guarding the Emperor’s Throne Room, where the Master of Mankind is interred within, upon the sacred Golden Throne.

After the siege of the Emperor’s palace was broken the Legio Ignatum went on to fight in most of the major campaigns of The Great Purge, cleansing Imperial worlds of the taint of the heretics. The Legion fought in the mighty conflicts on Paramar V and in the Tallarn System as it strove to drive the Traitor Titan Legions back. In these long and bloody campaigns the Priniceps of the Fire Wasps came to know and hate with an abiding passion the Legio Mortis, old rivals which had now turned to dark heresy and foul worship of the Chaos Gods. It was the Legio Mortis who breached the walls of the Emperor’s Imperial Palace, and it was the Deaths Heads Scouts who terrorized and systematically destroyed the populations of a dozen hives on Paramar and Tallarn. The flames of hatred still burn hot and bright in the hearts of the Legio Ignatum – one day a reckoning will be made.
