The Legio Astraman (also known as the Legio Astramana[2] or the Morning Stars) are a loyalist Titan Legion.[1]


History

Founded during the Age of Strife to protect Graia, the Morning Stars are known for their tenacity and for fighting against impossible odds; they could be counted on to stand fast in the face of any danger. Their success was due to the extensive network of industrial expansion that was capable of producing large numbers of Titans, tenacity and firm resolve, and the orbital platforms around Graia which supplemented its capacity for defence.[5] Upon Graia's entry into the Imperium and the participation of the Legio Astraman the Great Crusade, they formed a close bond with the Raven Guard. Over the course of the Crusade, they gained much experience and skill in fighting dissident Titan Legions such as the Legio Venator and Legio Laniaskara.[5]

By the time of the Horus Heresy, the Legio Astraman fielded some 156 Titans, including at least three Imperators. The remaining Titans were evenly split between Scout and Battle types.[5] During the Heresy, they were viewed as a major threat to Horus' efforts and fought viciously to protect Graia in the Cataclysm of Iron.[4] Later on, the Legio would contribute 18 titans to defend the loyalist-held Cthonia alongside the Imperial Fists during the Siege of Cthonia.[6a]

Ten millennia later in M41, the Legion's Homeworld attempted to resist the Ork invasion of Graia.[3]
