Titan Legion · loyalists

Legio Defensor

“Nova Guard” — the most devout loyalist Titan Legion, which adopted the Lectitio Divinitatus early (through the influence of the Word Bearers). After the Razing of Monarchia it openly withdrew its support from the Word Bearers, but many secretly kept to the Imperial Cult. At Beta-Garmon III it fought alongside Legio Solaria, House Procon Vi and the Fasadian heavy infantry against the traitor Imperial Army.
