The Draconians |
| The Draconians were created in the Second Founding from the geneseed of
the Salamanders. They were given the world Draconus as their recruiting world, and to
build their chapter fortress upon. From this world they take their name, and they recruit
the hardened individuals who work the Great Forges of the world, and who have adapted to
the great heat and dangers of a world that is covered with volcanic activity. The Legion has fought continuisly since its Founding in the service of the Imperium and to defend Mankind against the incursions of Chaos, the Ork Hordes, and the ravenous Tyranids. They have been called upon on many occasions to respond to Tyranid invasions due to their special affinity for fire and its effectiveness against the Tyranids. They have developed special tactics to take advantage of their preferred weapons, and the Techmarines have developed unique weapons and vehicles that use the eternal flames of Draconus. For the thousands of years since the end of the Horus Heresy the Draconians have continued to faithfully serve the Emperor, and even during times of isolation from Earth, the Legion's loyalty and faith has never wavered. The history and lore of the Legion is filled with the heroic deeds of individuals and units as a whole in their service in the continuing struggles against the enemies of Mankind. |
