Legion Organization
Divided into Fleet based units that are built and taken apart based upon mission needs, each fleet is often unique to their purpose. However Its main organisation is divided into 5 main sub commands Polar, Lion, Bear, Ascendant and Nebula. Each part is tasked to continue the legions wider aims autonomously for long periods as needed.
The bulk of the forces start from established bases and logistics along their assigned territory and conquest plans, fleets independent and able to operate deeper strike at enemy from deep often in entirely unexpected thrusts and surprise attacks heavily coordinated between ships.
Strength. 90k Legionnaires as of closest estimate divided between The five sub commands.
First Captain Peraclus “Beomoths Bane” (Earned after leading a strike force that slew an enraged void whale.
4 Kiaros Lords of the fleet.
Pretors. Per 1000 marines.
Captains Per 100 Marines.

Legion Special Units
1st Company Terminators (The Nightkin, the Elite unit and honour guard,Cataphractii mostly.
Heavy Void Assault Company. (Void slayers). Veterans. Experts in boarding, inter ship defense and attack and breach of ship light environments such as hive cities and underground environments.
Kraken Assault teams. Heavy Mk3 , boarding shields, las cutters and such.
Night Stalker pilots. The Legions best pilots, often in command of rarer aircraft such as storm birds, advanced fighters and such. Daring pilots who push the limits of even space marines.
Legion Equipment
The legions maintain th4 standard array of gear from land, air, space and auch forms of warfare as required, their distance at times operating further from imperial supply lines means they sometimes are slower to get the cutting edge gear.
Legion Vehicles
Pretty standard, many of the fighters and gunships are more prioritised to anti star ship and so purposes but can be reconfigured as needed. Most of the vehicles are impeccably maintained though a little patched by the more distant supply chains. Replacements are not always quickly available.
Legion Fleet
Flagship.Gloriana Class. The Shadow Light. Designed for long range self sustained operations and ability to repair / support itself and fleet around it.
Dark grey with long dark blue markings down its length with a bright silver set of Tentacles that rose along its hull. From what was learned its hull was augmented with the best sensor baffling, jamming and decoy technology available.
Honour Class Star forts, the adapted Endeavor class with increased manufacturers capacity at expense of some of the firepower.
Forge class heavy repair ships built on the frames of Emperor Class BB And used to assist in fleet support. Well armoured, gunned and often used to support larger formations. Heavily fitted with the ability to Refine, make and maintain war materials, construct and sustain needs.
The Thunderbolt class fast recon vessels, designed for pure speed, long range and enlarged warp drives. Lower on weaponry and armour in exchange for their speed and exceedingly powerful Main engines able to rapidly Evade enemies instead of direct conflict.
The total fleet is sizable with extensive logistical ships, light escorts and support vessels to keep its forces far flung in the fight at the tip of crusades spear. Heavy Assets are well screened and often at the heart of larger formstions with imperial army, supply formations, allies groups and other forces gathered together.
Legion Relics
Golden Spear of Granus. An ornate and highly valued power weapon believed to date back to DAOT. Only one who can break the will of it may use it.
The Glory of Terra. An exceedingly rare ship found, archeotech with highly advanced stealth technology. It's technology is still yet to be fully understood or if they even reached its full potential at all. Almost impossible to detect but unique and its technically copied from but never bettered or matched.
The Drake pattern storm birds. Custom rebuilt for more speed and fitted with heavy EW systems to spood other attempts to get a firing lock.
Can be deployed as part of a wider decoy combination defensive measure.

Background
Originallly founded from the former pascicus region of Terra, the Legion was quickly singled out in their ability to push deeper and with a concentration on establishing ships and infrastructure to push into the darkest voids where the Emperors light shines the brightest.
Their homeworld is a water world of tribes who live and make their way o a world of almost 95% endless seas.
They glitter a deep blue from the musted star at the system's heart.
The Legion has not always been the most famed of the number but they have always executed and succeeded pushing deeper into places others would not. They attained a great success when they found and managed to bring a system of lost humans to the light, unlocking a future forge world and a foothold into a much wider region previously unmapped and known to sustain future crusade fleets. True to their nature they did not sit back and kept moving on towards the unknown.
This route the found bypassed a dangerous area of warp space that had claimed at least 2 scout fleets alone known, maybe more.

Skills
Skilled craftsmen, Logistician, Ship to Ship and large fleet engagements, long range operations and raiding.
Equipment
The Night Scales. Custom built power armour, Dark grey with dark blue and platinum details. The main plates are dulled and clad with outer layers of additional materials to confuse auspices.
The Helmet and torso are covered in the platinum designs of a Tentacles path that hides the jamming technology. The cloak is a shimmer fabric backed over adamantium scales to help make the wearer harder to hit. It has enhanced thrusters for zero G and is able to reprocess Air to extreme efficiency.
The Star Splitter. A slightly bizarre yet effective hybrid Of a thunder hammer with a power axe blade also on the other side, able to be used in one or two hands.
Three Sisters of judgement.
An ornate Grav phospor styled in the form of a heavy Terran style revolver, with heavy shielded cells to prevent accidental detonation. Built as a paired set of weapons. Somewhat controversial even among the Legions, a dread weapon of last resort. The Pistol was often reserved for Xenocide or the worst of Xeno slavers. Their was not hiding from the sisters.
A matching volkite pistol pair to the first sister, and a Grav pistol. Though the Volkite is far more routinely carried, the three fates.
Precision, potent elemental fury and the harbinger of the horrific end.
Fusion cutters, one per arm as a hold out surprise weapon. Able to in last resort channel the energy into a powered cutting force at extreme close ranges.
Background
The Primarch crashed into the water world of Pythagorium, a world of tribes and cities that sat on the edge of the vast water bodies that covered the planet. The Primarch landed close to an island bordering the Southern seas on night of intense storms when many boats were lost but one was washed up alive among the wreckage.
That child rapidly grew into a leader adopted by the lords of the isle showing great promise in many arts and martial skills. they made their life upon the intense seas, a land of plenty for those with skill and bravery to sail the storm racked world.
It was a dark night in the season of storms his adopted father was slain by his advisor who was a traitor. The day of the feast only a few days time he was due to announce the great plan they had worked on for years. To reunite the world under one banner and end the endless minor wars that held them back. So Jasonus was one who took the lead, his honour to ensure his Adopted fathers work was carried out.
The traitor was later caught, his attempt to escape justice failed and he returned chained and locked up tight. A Primarchs wrath is not a small thing and his death was slowly being eaten alive by sea beasts.
Bringing unity to the planet was a task of years and sacrifice, it's disparate nature, evolving the construction of ships and the world's technology to better harvest and utilise the planet's material wealth. That was the breaking point when the Primarchs City state took and grew to become the ruling Force across the planet for the most part. Wood became metal, sails became coal and the changes began.
Though its population was small the coming of the Emperor and expansion of the influence of the world has brought a rapid change.
The Emperor's ship was seen as a golden light in the night sky on the eve of the planets celebration of unity. An figure came to challenge the planets lord and master, many had tried as was custom, a Lord had to be able to hold their crown. This one was different and the challenge was chosen, a test of Skill in the great celebration of unity. Games, feasts and marriages to bring the warring factions into peace and form bonds to end the times of conflict.
The Emperor's victory came in the final contest, one that combined skills of multiple crafts and disciplines. Bowing to the Emperor, the world joined the Emperors domain and its transformation began as the fleets brought skills, technology and materials entirely unknown before they came.
The Legion though smaller has an respectable roll of honour and there progress. Though not the best, largest or most powerful they have earned their respect. The Primarch is the same, they have through hard work achieved success including the unlocking of several now main warp routes that supply the forefront of the Crusade.
