Legion Homeworld

Main Article Risa

Since he lacked any claim to the world there Primarch grew up - the XVIII legion was free to pick any unclaimed world as it's home. The criteria chosen for the selection of Risa is not fully understood, however it is not based on industry, resources or strategic location since Risa has none of these.

A heavily terraformed "vacation" planet during the Age of Technology it consists of innumerable small islands each one beautiful and unique get away spot. Once the age of strife began the stranded vacationers devolved into a primitive stone age society that was saved from descent into a decadent idleness due to the cultural importance of sailing and travel.

The XVIII Legion has set up it's base on the four moons that surrounded Risa. This has left the culture generally untouched. There is some contact between the two groups - not least because members of the legion have been known to travel down to the surface for 'shore leave'. This has lead the legion to start some recruiting from the planet below; the most daring and bold sailors volunteer to be taken "on the longest journey".

In terms of industry what is present came with the Legion itself. Upon learning the history of the Alighieri the Adeptus Mechanicus gifted the legion with a small number of mobile refineries and factories to accompany them to where ever they made there home. These are currently based in the sole asteroid belt the system posses.

Exemplary Actions

Action One

Main Article: The Fall of the Stellar Federation
The Stellar Federation was a human multi system civilisation encountered early in the crusades. It refused to join what it saw as an upstart Empire. When discovered they were under attack by an Ork Warghggh which many viewed as a golden opportunity.

The XVIII legion instead of attacking assisted the armed forces of the Stellar Federation in driving away the Ork Warghggh. Many considered that each Ork they killed and each Marine they lost was a comparative gain for the Federation. But despite the pressure the Commander of the Legion always stated "We fight the enemies of Man - everything else can wait".

At the victory celebrations for the defeat of the Warghggh the commander of the legion demonstrated that the best case scenario for the Federation was to hold out for a year before losing.

"I have a mission to bring these worlds into the Imperium of Man - and now the enemies of man are gone that will happen. By working together you have remained in charge for three times as long as you ever could through forces of arms and you have saved countless lives in doing so. You have seen what we can do - and you know now that to resist is to waste all that you have saved for no gain....... Accept the inevitable - I offer my hand in friendship. It will not be offered again."

With that the Stellar Federation joined the Imperium of man without a shot being exchanged between them.
