Editing 1st Mars Expeditionary Force (section)

==Notable Units and Vehicles==
===Defender of the Righteous===
An [[Imperial Knight]] Free-blade Knight Paladin formerly of House Terryn, he dedicated himself to defending an Imperial Shrine on the Agri-World of Coralore in the Laanath Rifts region of the Segmentum Pacificus. In the year 930.M41, a contingent of [[Eldar]] from Craftworld Saim-Hann attacked the planet in an attempt to recover a stolen artifact which had been interred at the Shrine, an ancient weapon taken from the Craftworld by the ancient Imperial hero the Shrine was dedicated to. the 1st Mars responded to the planet's SOS and sent a a small force to defend. The 1st Mars and the Defender of the Righteous successfully thwarted the Eldar invaders, however the Imperial Shrine was destroyed after a direct blast from a Fire Prism. The Knight, failing in his mission, decided to accompany the 1st Mars in a crusade of revenge and penitence.

===Malleus Vermiculus===
A [[Warhound Scout Titan]] Formerly of the Legio Invicta, it was brought into the fold of the 1st Mars after it saw action with the unit during Operation Sledgehammer. The Titan was heavily damaged during the engagement, and thought to be taken away by the Mechanicus for reconfiguration or proper destruction. In reality however, the great War Machine, it's Spirit refusing to accept defeat, was disassembled, repaired, and is now taken wherever the 1st Mars requires it. Equipped with a Turbo Laser Destructor and a Vulcan Mega Bolter, the mighty war-machine is one of very few machines in the care of the 1st Mars that is not to be tinkered with, lest they antagonize it's already fervored Machine Spirit.

===Inviguilus===
A [[Shadowsword]] formerly of the Cadian 134th Superheavy Regiment, this tank was taken in by the 1st MEF following the Regiment saving the ancient tank from an Ork Warband during Operation Cog. The Tank was in the middle of repairs after sustaining heavy damage during the 2nd War for Armageddon, and still bears many of the scars of the historic battle. The tank dates as far back as the 39th Millenia, and has a long and detailed history in the archives of Mars with various Cadian regiments. It's most striking feature, is it's banner. A mighty kill-counter measuring several meters in length, it mostly lives in the hallowed halls of the 1st Mars' home Cruiser, however for the purposes of Homecomings to Mars or military parades, the banner is brought down and attached to Inviguilus' mighty Volcano Cannon. On it's ancient tapestry the greatest kills of the mighty tank are shown. The emblems of 5 Chaos Warhound Titans, 2 Chaos Reaver Titans, 12 Superheavy Tanks, one Daemon Prince, and one Chaos Warlord are adorned onto the red banner in white print.

===Imperator Dominor===
A Mars Pattern [[Baneblade]], the Imperator Dominor is one of the oldest vehicles in the 1st Mars' arsenal and easily it's most valorous. The Tank and it's crew have claimed thousands of infantry and armored kills over the tank's long history, dating as far back as the 38th Millenia. While much of the Baneblade has been damaged, replaced, and repaired in some way or another, the mighty war-machine has also received her fair share of modifications from her loving crew. Most notably, following the recovery of an STC for higher velocity Autocannons (See: Operation Janus/Operation Sledgehammer), the first prototype of the STC was given to the tank as part of it's live-fire test and as a sign of thanks to the Force by the Fabricator-General.
===Victoria Vocem===
A [[Valdor Tank Hunter]] recovered by the 1st during Operation Cog, the mighty tank's history traces back to the Siege of Vraks, being one of the 30 tanks held up in the Departo Munitorium storage facilities located on Vraks Prime. However, unlike many of it's counterparts, this specific Valdor's [[Machine Spirit]] fought back against the Traitor Militia who attempted to use it for their own nefarious deeds, sabotaging it's own engine and causing the tank to become such a nightmare to fix into operational condition that the Traitors eventually just gave up and left it in the facility until it was recovered by Imperial Forces once the Siege had been broken. It was then transferred to another facility in the Segmentum Solar, refusing to work as the Machine Spirit was not sure who it could trust, which proved useful when the planet was conquered by Ork forces under the command of [[Ghazghkull Mag Uruk Thraka]], on his warpath which culminated in the 2nd War for Armageddon. However, when the First Mars arrived and found the tank sitting unmarred by time, Xenos or Heretic, they took special care in moving it to their transport vessels, where the Tank underwent a full restoration, and it's Machine Spirit finally opened up after several weeks of work, bringing the mighty piece to life and adding another major weapon to the Force's arsenal.
