Changes: Legio Invigilata

Revision as of 22:04, 21 March 2012

The Legio Invigilata (Emperor's Guard) is a Loyalist Titan Legion of the Collegia Titanica, one of the military arms of the Adeptus Mechanicus. The Emperor's Guard hail from the Forge World of Voss Prime, located in the Segmentum Solar. This is the Forge World closest to the Armageddon System. 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, during the Age of Strife.

Legion History

Notable Campaigns

Third War for Armageddon (998.M41) - Ork Warlord Ghazghkull Mag Uruk Thraka launched a second and even more massive Ork WAAAGH! to conquer the Imperial world of Armageddon in 998.M41. During the Third War for Armageddon the Legio Invigilata supported the Black Templars Space Marine Chapter and the Imperial Guard's 101st Regiment of the Armageddon Steel Legion. Legio Invigilata fielded 19 Titans, made up of Warhound, Reaver and Warlord-class Titans. These Imperial forces were instrumental in the defence of Hive Helsreach from a massive Ork assault.

Notable Titans

Bane-Sidhe - A Warlord-class Titan that served alongside Stormherald during the Third War for Armageddon and was destroyed during the Battle of Helsreach.
Emperor's Shield - Warhound-class Titan that participated in the Laiden Offensive. The Emperor's Shield achieved the highest kill-ratio of any Imperial Titan during the offensive. Its most notable kill included the Chaos Reaver-class Titan, Butcher's Mirth.
Executor - A Warhound-class Titan that participated in the Third War for Armageddon.
Sacrosanct - A Warlord-class Titan that participated in the Third War for Armageddon.
Stormherald - An Imperator-class Titan that participated in the Battle of Helsreach and was felled by an Ork Gargant known as God Braker during the Third War for Armageddon.

Notable Personnel

Lonn - A Tech-priest who served aboard the Stormherald and one of Princeps Majoris Mancion's servants.
Valian Carsomir - Moderati Primus of Stormherald and Princeps Majoris Zarha Mancion's representative to the Imperial command structure for the Legio Invigliata during the Third War for Armageddon.
Zarha Mancion - Princeps Majoris of the Stormherald and overall commander of the Legio Invigilata. Like the Princeps of most Imperator-class Titans, Mancion was suspended in a cybernetic tank that connected her permanently to her Titan's Machine Spirit and could no longer survive having her mind disconnected from the Stormherald 's Mind Impulse Unit (MIU).
