The Cohors Nasicae is an Emperor's Children unit that has taken on several forms over its existence.
History
Squad Nasicae fought alongside Captain Lucius at the battle of the Precentor’s Palace during the reconquest of Isstvan III, only three of the Squad survived the battle.[2a]
As the Cohors Nasicae, they became the bodyguard of Lucius during the Horus Heresy.[1] Post-Heresy, this group became Lucius's personal warband, based on the vessel the Diadem. Its Raptor Cult was known as the Rypax.[3] The warband had a fluctuating membership, and its squads often formed and broke apart at a whim.[4e]
