The momentary joy of their Primarch's discovery died shortly upon arrival to [[Rosskar]]. The 15th Legion were not welcomed to this place with open arms but armed suspicion. The Legion was hastily split up in divisions of one hundred Marines. Each of these were placed in secure locations across the planet. At each holding area the Marines were outnumbered one to a thousand by [[Kuzgeta Defense Sphere|Kuzgetan Troops]], to swiftly put down any possible rebellion. But a few broken apart in groups of ten, then interrogated or tested in horrific ways by Alexandri himself. These Marines found themselves preforming acts unimaginable before to prove their loyalty to him. The knightly, stoic leaders of the Legion were removed as to permit no rival from forming a bloc of resistance to his rule. 

As this happened, the larger segments of the Legion were taught Rosskan culture and language. Periodically being sent out into the snow to combat the mega-fauna of the planet as training. These outings would allow them to see how the common people regarded them, with little fascination or amazement totally unlike they had experienced before. After a few months however, Alexandri was assured that he could trust the Astartes. The camps were disbanded, the Legion formed up proper with thirty thousand neophytes chosen from the population to serve as potential Marines and Legionary Serfs. 

Alexandri renamed them after an ancient legend from Rosskar, that told of Star-Riders who would save the people from this frozen abyss. Their names were the Cataphracts, drifting down on beams of silver-starlight. He found it amusing to rename his Legion after the myth.

After the adoption of the new title, new systems were introduced into the Legion. Every Marine would have an allowance of three misdeeds or misconduct. Losing equipment, friendly fire, losing ground, falling back, all of these and more were considered offenses of an equal caliber. Once a Marine committed a fourth mistake, they would be summarily executed by the nearest, highest ranking officer. All Legionnaires from the commanders to the line infantry would be held by this unquestionable protocol. It was dehumanizing, crushing the virtuous spirit of the Argent with its cold brutality. Even if some cautioned against the wasting of Marine lives, Alexandri responded by saying 'we can always make more'. No longer was their deaths filled with glory and sacrifice, but merely punishment for error. 

One year after arriving to Rosskar, the Argent had been forever changed. Rosskans and Rosskan culture altering many facets of the formation. The 15th Legion was firmly in the hands of Alexandri, who had made them in his own image. A force he could trust to fully expand the interests of the Emperor's Imperium.
