Overview

The Legio Confindo is an Imperial Titan Legion that dwells on Byrrus Alpha and were created there before the rise of the Imperium. Their Forge World was discovered in the early years of the Great Crusade and they soon took part in the Imperium's battles, notably giving aid to the Iron Warriors, Ultramarines, and Word Bearers Legions. However, the Legio's reputation was mixed, as they became renowned for pushing their plasma reactors hard, in order to close with enemy engines and destroy them with high-powered weaponry, even at the risk of angering their Titans' Machine Spirits. These tactics earned them praise from the Word Bearers and Iron Warriors, who they formed an enduring relationship with, while the Ultramarines found their impetuosity often made them a rogue element in battle.[1]

Perhaps it was these relationships that caused a large majority of the Legio to join the traitorous Warmaster's forces during the Horus Heresy, in the aftermath of the Ruinstorm's creation which had left them separated from their Forge World. A small contingent of the Legio remained on Byrrus Alpha, however, and they began receiving fragmented messages that some of its Legio had joined the traitors and turned upon the Imperium. Believing these reports to be true, the remaining Princeps on Byrrus Alpha swore solemn oaths to bring their errant kin to justice, but before they could fulfill their pledges, they were called to fight in defense of Primarch Guilliman's Imperium Secundus. When the Ruinstorm finally ended, the contingent of Legio Confindo on Byrrus Alpha learned that their traitorous kin were in the Beta-Garmon cluster and left to confront them. What happened in that fateful battle or what happened to Legio Confindo afterwards is unknown.[1]
