Editing Scions of Europa (section)

==Recruitment and Training==
Although he honoured Europa in renaming his Legion, Kleisthenes did not look to his homeworld for recruits to Seventh.  Instead, he taught his sons to find their Adoptati on the battlefields of the [[Great Crusade (Hektor Heresy)|Great Crusade]] and rear them for the Aspirant Trial.  The ''Neophytes'' who passed this trial would receive the gene-seed aboard the mighty warships of the Scions' fleets.  Rather than a long period of formal training, newly-inducted Scions of Europa gained much of their experience on the battlefield, joining the Legion's squads as soon as they had recovered from the gene-seed.  Even Neophytes part-way through the process of becoming Space Marines were expected to take military duty aboard Kleisthenes' warships, though these youths were usually kept to the task of manning the guns.
