They adopt a defensive stance until full aggression comes their way. They will always give a chance to the enemy to surrender if reasonable communication are possible with them.

	But once the hostilities are started, the Nova Legion can be ruthless when it comes to the annihilation of what they have now deemed evil. They take a massive amount of satisfaction in evaporating the "shadows", those they consider beyond saving.

	Nova Legion refrain from excessive military demonstration, once the deed is done, the Nova Legion stops the attack. Celebrations of victory are rare and short, just enough to raise the morale of the legion after. However when dealing with others, humans or not, the Nova Legion pull out the most spectacular demonstrations, showing with pride the colors of their legion and the image of their Primarch.

	The Emperor's fleet was at first seen as an impending danger by the people of Taros.

	For the time in his life, Rook went against the will of the people. For him, the visitors deserved at least to be given one chance.

	Now that they knew, Rook asked only one thing of them, Forgiveness. As they were seeing this him and his forces would be assaulting the Lighthouse, proud of their new weapons, but breaking the overall peace that had prevailed for centuries on Taros.

	But still, where he managed to get an upper hand was in the dealing with people.

Naok was not as successful but still managed to climb the ladders, slowly but with a rare determination, Tami on the other side was content with just learning and thus stayed in the lowest echelons of the Lighthouse.

Ultimately, both brothers attained the upper echelons of the institute. Rook finally had access to the famed DAoC relic, a relic of a golden age, one that barely survived the violent wars for its possession during the Age of Strife, but ultimately was there.

The DAoC relic was a technological achievement without compare, a plasma reactor capable of producing tremendous amounts of energy. Many wondered how come the relic managed to remain stable despite the immense amount of plasma the reactor used. The relic was unknown to many of the denizens of Taros, knowledge of the relic being one of the many consequences of the wars men waged on men during ancient times.

Rook had done many good things for a lot of people and as always his smile captured the minds of the people he dealt with, thus he could easily call for favors of this magnitude especially when combined with his natural Primarch charisma.

	The Nova Legion are the inheritors of ancient tech that graced them with the most powerful ranged weapons to grace the Imperium. Their home houses ~~one of the~~ rare Dark Age of Technology relic ~~with~~ a ~~length~~ of ~~usable patterns~~, ~~however~~ the ~~world of Taros having been colonized for its high reserves~~ of Promethium~~, most~~ of ~~the patterns are focused on plasma techs~~.		The Nova Legion are the inheritors of ancient tech that graced them with the most powerful ranged weapons to grace the Imperium. Their home houses a rare Dark Age of Technology relic, a plasma reactor providing most of the energy needed in Askelis. The relic is powered thanks to the large amount of Promethium of the planet, and uses the special properties of that Promethium of Taros.

	Rook, the Primarch of the Nova Legion, is a brilliant mind, optimistic to a fault and strongly believing in a bright future for Mankind among the stars. After decades of learning in the Lighthouse, the institute housing a DAoC relic and dedicated to the study of it, Rook achieved mastery over what were to be among the most powerful weapons of the Imperium. However bouts with the Adeptus Mechanicus and their abhorrent cult of the Machine Spirit cast the first shadow of doubt Rook ever had about the overall worth of the human species. Dedicated to the care and protection of the DAoC relic, Rook will keep the results of its finding to his worlds and legion, for fear it could fall into ignorant or devious hands.
