==Fleet==

The First Legion's armada was extremely formidable.  They were organised under the command of '''Orion Mucius''', a veteran of the Sacred Band.  Orion had been famed for his keen eyesight in the battles of the Unification Wars but this mere physical acuity was only a clue to the scope of his mind's eye.  Few outside of the Primarchs had Orion's ability for grasping the intricacies of a void battlefield, and he strove to impart his understanding to his captains.

Orion Mucius' bodyguard were known as the '''Hypaspezete''' and were drawn from the ranks of the Breacher Marines.  They were armed with round boarding shields and telescopic power-pikes with weighted ends that could be used as maces.  The Hypaspazete were well-accustomed to fighting in tight formations, thrusting forward a devastating thicket of pike points to annihilate their enemies.  Although they specialised in boarding operations, they were often deployed to planetary assaults to provide an added shock element.

As on the ground, the Heralds used the title '''Syntagma''' for the commanders of their capital ships.  An '''Ouragos''' would be given responsibility for an escort, while command of a fleet was assigned to a '''Navarch'''.  Orion Mucius himself was styled as the chief Navarch, or '''Navarch Basileus'''.

At the eve of the Heresy, the Heralds of Hektor could deploy 128 Battleships and Battlebarges, 97 Grand Cruisers, 342 Heavy Cruisers, 408 Light Cruisers, 612 Frigates, 695 Destroyers, and 87 Auxiliary vessels.  The true scope of the warships sworn to them by the Imperial Army and Dark Mechanicum is unknown, but it was likely that the allied ships were even larger in number than the Herald's own fleet.

Hektor's flagship was known as the ''Bucephalus''.  This mighty ''Gloriana''-Class Battleship underwent several refits in its long service.
