	Each Chapter was divided into two Battalions, each headed by a '''First Captain'''. The Battalion was the lowest level of operational command in the Legion, with First Captains responsible for planning planetary assault missions. Their operational responsibility meant that the Battalion would have control over fleet assets, typically Strike Cruisers manned by the Scions of Europa and their attendants, as well as gunships, dreadnoughts, and reconnaissance companies to support landings.

			'''Company organisation'''

			The five companies of a Scions of Europa Battalion had an establishment strength of one hundred Battle Brothers each. In a rare diversion from the ''Logos Terra Militia'', the Scions kept their companies of a uniform quality, ensuring that each had a mix of veteran, regular, and green Space Marines. Fifth Company was still constituted as a manoeuvre element, typically cross-trained between the jump-pack and Space Marine Bike. The Captain commanding each Company was expected to lead from the front with his command squad and delegate control over the remaining squads of the Company to his lieutenants.

			Specialist companies also existed within the Legion. Most commonly these were armoured formations or reconnaissance companies. However, a few hundred Scions were trained in the use of the highly advanced Jetbike and the Legion command made sparing but clever use of these incredibly mobile forces.

			''I am Brother Komnenus, warrior of the Emperor's Great Crusade, defender of the Imperium of Man, gene-son of the Primarch Kleisthenes. In recognition of your youthful courage, I claim you as my Adoptatus. Arise, my son!''

			- vox-recording from the aftermath of the Battle of Deminar, 883.M30


	Unfettered by the traditions of their Primarch's homeworld, the Scions of Europa would stay true to the heritage of Terra and the "Grey Legions" of the [[Unification Wars (Hektor Heresy)\|Unification Wars]]. The sons of Kleisthenes never see themselves as anything other than humanity's soldiers, blessed and cursed to fight and die so that others may know peace.

	Each Scion maintained a small household within the Expeditionary Fleet. His chief civilian responsibility was the raising of his ''Adoptati'', the young boys that the Marine intended to sponsor for the Legion's Aspirant Trial. Due to the demands of a Scion's training, much of the care of his person and ~~his~~ Adoptati was undertaken by mortal servants known as ''Armigers''. These men were typically failed Aspirants, frequently drawn from the Marine's own Adoptati. Newly-inducted Battle Brothers were typically gifted a handful of servants by their sponsor.		Each Scion maintained a small household within the Expeditionary Fleet. His chief civilian responsibility was the raising of his ''Adoptati'', the young boys that the Marine intended to sponsor for the Legion's Aspirant Trial. Presenting a promising Aspirant was considered an honourable achievement, and seeing one of his Adoptati sworn into the Legion was a moment of great pride for a Scion of Europa.

			Due to the demands of a Scion's training, much of the care of his person, panoply, and Adoptati was undertaken by mortal servants known as ''Armigers''. These men were typically failed Aspirants, frequently drawn from the Marine's own Adoptati. Newly-inducted Battle Brothers were typically gifted a handful of servants by their sponsor.

			The senior servant of a Scion of Europa was known as the ''Scutarius''. He was an honoured figure entrusted with ensuring his master's panoply was fit for war. The Scutarius also maintained order among the other servants. Unless disabled by war or age, he was also expected to supervise the martial training of the Armigers and lead them in battle.

			Cases of Armigers actually engaging in combat were relatively rare. The Scions deployed regiments of [[Imperial Army (Hektor Heresy)\|Imperial Army]] auxilia to supplement their strength when necessary. However, the households of the Legionaries constituted a valuable security force for the warships of Kleisthenes' Expeditionary Fleets.

	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 ~~aspirants~~ on the battlefields of the [[Great Crusade (Hektor Heresy)\|Great Crusade]]. Neophytes would receive the gene-seed aboard the mighty warships of the Scions' ~~Crusade~~ fleets ~~and gain~~ much of their experience ~~by induction into~~ 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.		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.

	To befit the tactical flexibility of the Legion, the Scions go through intense Tactical Marine training after basic Scout training, with those marines excelling in a given field going on to become either full-time Tactical Marines, Devastators Marines, and Assault Marines. Because of this, any given sergeant of a squad is not only an extremely proficient veteran of their field, but is able to fall back on their Tactical Marine training if the situation dictates.
