Editing Raj Vokar (section)

==Primarch Origin==
When the Ruinous Powers of Chaos took the sons of the Emperor away from his Himalazian gene-labs on [[Terra|Holy Terra]], the Primarch of the Titan Marchers was brought to the massive forge world known as [[Titan_Marchers#Homeworld|Manaan]]. The gestation pod fell to the planet’s surface through the thick layers of black clouds expelled by massive factorums. It crashed into a munitions factory on the planet’s surface, killing several workers in the process. When government forces found the infant Primarch in the wreckage, he was given to the noble lady Pravis Vokar; one of the world’s wealthiest and most decorated women.

Manaan’s surface was covered in quarries and factories, it’s people forced to slave away their entire lives in servitude to their world’s nobility. The nobility no longer even lived on Manaan itself, but had  instead they made their home on one of Manaan’s moons, Raat. Raat was a paradise moon, with lush white grassed fields and clean blue skies. The nobility lived a life of luxury, all at the expense of the billions of people on the surface below. The nobility controlled the people through the use of giant towering war machines, the ''Raakshas'', and their Security forces, the ''Kramraat''. The Raakshas were based on the same technology as the Adeptus Titanicus’ Titans, remnants of the Dark Age of Technology. Once used to protect the people from danger, now the massive engines stood as a symbol of the wealthy overlords, showing the people that they could never hope to rise up against the might of their masters. Pravis Vokar however, was possibly the only noblewoman on Raat who was disgusted by the oppression on the forge world below. In the Primarch, who she named Raj, she saw the potential to bring down their dominion of Raat.

In time the other nobles grew suspicious of Lady Vokar. They brought the wrath of the Raakshas down upon her mansion and succeeded in killing her. Raj, escaping the carnage and filled with rage, stole a shuttlecraft and attempted to make his way to Manaan. The craft was brought down before the Primarch could land, but he managed to survive the crash at cost of his legs. Raj was nursed back to health by a small group of insurrectionists and had recieved cybernetic replacements for his legs, as they were unable to save them. Raj quickly rose took take command over the insurrectionist group, who began calling themselves the ''Rajahs''.

With the help of the Rajahs the Primarch would eventually take the megacity of Sattara, home to the warships that had once carried mankind across the stars to Manaan. Interstellar travel was no longer an option, but the ships' weapons were still entirely operational. First the Rajahs seized control over the Raaksha facilities, then, using the massive war engines, they quickly took control over the fleet. The warships took to the skies and unleashed every every lance, torpedo and archeotech bomb at Raat, turning the paradise moon into a hellish landscape. As the green moon burned a crimson red, the people of Manaan knew the tyranny of Raat would finally be over. These events would become known as the Burning of Raat.

This would only herald the beginning of a massive war that would engulf the entirety of the forge world. Before the fires on Raat had even died down, the world of Manaan was in complete turmoil. The Kramraat, whose word had been absolute for centuries, were now without orders and began consolidating their own power, taking cities and declaring their own sovereignty. The Rajahs waged a brutal war of reunification, backed by an ever expanding army of Raakshas. Raj himself discovered his aptitude for piloting the giant machines. Under his leadership the last remaining members of the Kramraat, calling themselves 'the Alliance', were driven back to the last city not under the control of the Destroyer of Raat, megacity Pancave.

The Alliance fortified every last inch of Pacanave and used the city’s civilian population as a way of deterring the Titan Lord from using his largest weapons, counting on his desire to save those civilians. Contrary to the Alliance’s expectations however, Raj laid siege to Pacanave with a ferocity that no one on Manaan had ever seen. Raj used every bolter, lascannon, lancer and bomb he had in his arsenal, glassing Pacanave and everyone in it.

When asked about the Siege of Pacanave later in his life, Raj would claim that the absolute destruction of the city was necessary to ensure that nobody could escape in order to threaten his reign later on. However, those close to him during that time would say that Pacanave was one of the earliest examples of what happens when Raj loses his temper. The Alliance had angered Raj by digging in and trying to waste both his time, and the time of Manaan’s people. They had put their own self interest and greed above the future of Manaan, and their insolence could not be tolerated any longer. 

Up until the destruction of Raat, and the chaos that ensued in it’s wake, Raj had always been optimistic about the nature of mankind. He used to assume that most people were interested in bettering their lives, and those of the people around them, but that a small corrupt group had gotten in the way of that, as his adoptive mother had told him. After the Burning of Raat any sense of order and humanity had been lost, giving way to anarchy and to individuals claiming more and more for themselves. The decision by the Alliance to try and waste Raj’s time in order for them to stay in power was the last straw, fully unleashing the Titan Lord's fury.

After the destruction of Pacanave, it was up to Raj to consolidate his dominions. As soon as he knew his newfound empire would not collapse, he wandered into the remains of Pancave alone, hoping to clear his head and meditate. There, he would sit in meditation for ten days, when the skies parted and a golden light came down from the heavens. In the light Raj saw a golden figure, who soon revealed himself to be his father, the [[God-Emperor of Mankind|Emperor of Mankind]]. 

Raj and the Emperor spoke for hours, with the Titan Lord eventually being brought onto the Emperor’s ship, the Bucephelus. Raj told his father of what he had done on Manaan, how the had destroyed the nobles of Raat and united the forge world under House Vokar. The Emperor in turn explained the history of the [[Imperium of Man]] and the purpose of Raj’s very existence. He promised that Manaan would be brought in the Imperial fold as one of it’s prime forge worlds. In exchange, he requested his son to accept his destiny and to lead the XVII<sup>th</sup> Legiones Astartes. Raj accepted his newfound role with pride, focusing his legion on warfare alongside the war engines of the Adeptus Titanicus and renaming them 'the [[Titan Marchers]]'.
