Editing Scions of Europa (section)

==Support Formations==
Although they cared for nothing but war, the Scions of Europa well-understood the need to support their formations in the field.  Personnel and commanders for their specialist formations were carefully selected for merit and psychological suitability.


'''Apothecarion'''

The brothers of the Apothecarion were the most hallowed and revered marines among the Legion.  Each had to balance the demands of martial honour with the greater need of Imperium for a new generation of Scions of Europa.  Knowing the temperament of their gene-line, the senior officers of the Legion would always pay tribute to Apothecaries who had harvested gene-seed and withdrawn from battle.  Such sincere gestures helped to mute the sting of retreat.


'''Armorium'''

Techmarines in the Scions were an unusually heterogeneous group.  The sons of Kleisthenes did not pursue major pacts with any grouping of Forge Worlds.  Instead, they would seek to have their most technically-able brothers trained by the nearest techpriests.  The result was that their Techmarine Covenants were a bustle of different ideas.  Those who expected the stern Seventh never to spring a technological surprise never had the chance to repeat their mistake.


'''Castra'''

The Scions' reputation for never retreating had as much to do with careful logistical planning as physical courage.  Although the Legion never claimed planetary domains, they possessed many ''Ramilies''-Class starforts and were adept at positioning these relics to anchor their supply lines.


'''Librarus'''

Kleisthenes had some curiosity about the Librariums being established in other Legions, but the gene-seed of the Scions of Europa is incompatible with psykers.  Although a few attempts were made to induct aspirants with the psyker mutation, the only one to become a full Space Marine was Brother Xenophon.  His psychic gifts were completely ruined by the process.
