As it killed the others the thirst for power would lead it to attack the people. And yet still they ship brought more men of the imperium, as if to stoke the flame of war. Such a force was IX Legio, a imperial guard force raised from an agrarian world very reminiscent of Rome in the days of the early empire. Their weapons and armor are modern, shields made of energy, force swords, pila pattern lasguns. Their arrival marked a rise in imperium moral, it was often said many could not suffer to beat the legions of Rome, the cost is always high. Their arrival also brought with it a strong hatred of chaos, they suffered none of the occult practitioners to live. Strangely, for all their hatred of chaos, xenos were largely unharmed. It was one of the few places in the empire they could live unmolested. Often serving in the specialized auxiliary counterparts of the legions, filling specialist roles. The recent cooperation with the chaos God would soon be at an end. [spoiler]open to reactions[/spoiler]
