Legio Xerxes

The Legio Xerxes was 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 obscure Titan Legion, including when they were founded or from what world they hail from. Ancient historical point out that this Legio may have been based on Mars itself. During the Great Crusade the Legio Xerxes Titan Legion was attached to the service of the 670th Expeditionary Fleet. The Primarch Alpharius and a force from his XX Legion, the Alpha Legion, fought with the 670th Expedition during the tragic campaign to bring the world of Nurth to Imperial Compliance, but never became an official part of the 670th's order of battle. Lord Commander Namitjira remained in formal command during the operation, though of course he deferred to the Primarch's orders. What became of the Legio Xerxes after this campaign is unknown.

Notable Campaigns
None known.
 * Compliance of Nurth (ca. 205.M31) - The Legio Xerxes had a battlegroup of war engines supporting the 670th Expeditionary Fleet during the Great Crusade. They supported Imperial ground forces during the disastrous compliance of Nurth, a lost human colony. At the evacuation of Nurth, 6 titans had to be left behind due to Lord Commander Namatjira's incompetence, after which Princeps Jeveth detached his force of Titans from the 670th Expeditionary Fleet and returned to Mars. Following the Schisms of Mars, it is not known what side this Legio chose to support or if they were one of the many loyalists caught off guard by the treacherous attacks of the forces of the Dark Mechanicus. Following their return to Mars, the Legio Xerxes disappeared from all Imperial records.
