 Tasichak III was a world where the high density of metals and minerals was detected by Mechanicum search vessels, which interested them greatly.  The planet however had an infestation of Orks, who were using the resources to make their crude machines so the Mechanicum reached out to a fleet of Lore Wardens who were nearby.
-Dropping out of the Warp the Lore Wardens fleet scans of the planet showed that the atmosphere was so saturated with metallic pollution that an orbital bombardment would be ineffective, and the order was given for the Magisses squads to load into the drop pods as the first wave, to be shortly followed by the remainder of the force.  When the drop pods were fired the Magisses used their considerable psychic powers to push the metal in the atmosphere out of the way of the drop pod,s enabling the legion forces to land and assault the Orks in an unexpected way.

 The surprise of forces making it through the sky and the aggression of the Lore Wardens caught the Orks out, leading to swift establishment of beachheads. From there the legion stayed on the front foot, driving them from the planet enabling the Mechanicum to use the planet’s resources for the good of the Imperium.

 ===Magisses===
 Due to the high number of psykers produced within the Lore Wardens, they have developed a combat formation based around squads of linked psykers known as Magisses. (singular psykers are referred to as Magi)
-There are three levels of psychic strength within the legion, those who attain the first are used to receive and transmit instructions and messages both on the battlefield and within the legion.  They are also capable of limited manipulation of the elements enhancing the ammo of their weapons.

 The second tier can bond with their squad mates, enabling them to join a Magisses squad.  Through the combination of their powers they are capable of, as well as those abilities of a singular magi, forming a kinetic shield to protect themselves from damage. However they prefer to use their powers to attack their foes, throwing fire, ice, lightning and other forces at their foes.

-The 15th legion was formed from the remnants of the warlord forces of the North Afrik Conclaves, after the Emperor had lead the Thunder Warriors through their lands as part of the Unification Wars.  Initially there were some problems due to the forces being drawn from a variety of forces, many of which had spent millennia fighting each other, but these were quashed with the introduction of the geneseed from Aristarchus.  The Legion quickly gained a reputation of being powerful on the attack, winning several campaigns rapidly where the opposition were in strong defensive fortifications.  This was assisted by the development of a high number of Psykers within the legion.

 The seeking and protection of knowledge is also key throughout the legion especially when this backs up their view of the universe.  They know that there has been knowledge lost (other branches of Humanity were so incompetent!) so will bring all knowledge in and share normally with the Mechanicum.
-They have a very low opinion of unaugmented non Gidemosians seeing them as higher than xenos but barely leading to a poor standing amongst the Imperial Army who they co-operate poorly with.

-The 15th legion is heavily psychic deploying squads of linked psykers (known as Magisses within the legion) into combat.  Even though they are average in size for a legion they tend to be better equipped than most and base their tactics on aggression rather than being overly cautious.  They do not work well with unmodified humans seeing them as below them almost to the point of being a separate species.
