	Created by the Emperor of Mankind himself beneath the mountains of the Himalayas, the geneseed of the IXth made just like any other Legion. Due to it’s maturity before other geneseed variants, such as the XIXth and XXth legions, the IXth were employed during the last months of the Unification Wars. Used as reinforcements among the already battle-hardened companies from older genestock, the IXth quickly gained a reputation for almost fanatical determination to the cause.

	This fearsome reputation gained admiration and derision from their brothers in equal measure. For the Solar Auxilia assigned alongside the IXth, only the most fanatical or stoic regiments welcomed their placement. For others, fighting alongside the ‘Shields of Death’ meant making the ultimate sacrifice for victory. The IXth demanded it.

	By the time the Shields were reunited with Je’She, they were only roughly a score or so of bone-ragged companies. They made planetfall alongside the emperor to save their Primarch from being overwhelmed by orks. What they saw was awe-inspiring. Their genefather, in nought but iron plate and a primitive glaive, holding back tides of greenskins with his back against a mighty gate. With only a handful of human soldiers left at his side, him and his men held back thousands upon thousands of wrathful xenos. Their genefather was willing to make the ultimate sacrifice for his people: death. For the IXth, that was all they asked.

	Upon reunification, Je’She looked upon his legion, bloodied and determined to prove themselves above and beyond, and vowed to instill a new fanaticism in them. One not of mindless self-destruction, but the creed of protecting those that relied on them, both humanity and their brothers. Self sacrifice was noble, but foolish in the long run. For the IXth were shieldbearers, and shieldbearers they would continue to be, but now their creed was that of humanity, not of fanatical validation. They would be humanity's shields, their protectors, their Sentinels.

	Upon reunification and during the course of Je’She’s first campaigns, the primarch began to modify his legion’s organisation. Keeping the majority of the original structure, he did however put immense efforts into changing the culture and mindset of his legion, instilling values of stoicism and humanity into his legionnaires. He encouraged creative pursuits, reasoning that a good warrior is a well-rounded warrior.

	Before long, the Sentinels were nearly unrecognisable from their fanatical origins. No longer was the fire unchecked, not locked away, but merely redirected towards different goals. The IXth became known for surviving against the odds, holding the lines until their enemy broke themselves attempting to break through. Siege masters with few equals, they ground down fortresses and rebuilt them even greater. They showed mercy when necessary, but left nought but rubble when they had to, and in their wake left cities even greater than their forebears.

	The Sentinels fought with most of their brother legions throughout the Great Crusade. They forged strong ties with many of them, especially the [[Silver Blades]], [[Titan Marchers]], [[Emperor's Dragoons]], [[Loxodontii]], [[Golden Mountains]] and [[Chosen of Hecate]]. Their infantry based tactics allowed them to work well with other legions in whatever position necessary. In the latter days of the Great Crusade, many warhosts were pulled back from the front to man the Imperial Ring, a blockade of fortress worlds around the edges of the Segmentum Solar. The intention was reinforce the Imperial territories and in extent, protect the Emperor interred upon the Golden Throne after Ullanor. However, this was perceived by certain legions as a power play to consolidate control over worlds critical to the Imperium of Man. This aided in an already rising of tensions between legions and Primarchs.		The Sentinels fought with most of their brother legions throughout the Great Crusade.

	Under the leadership of Je'She, the IXth distinguished themselves as prime examples of the Crusade's ideals. They were relentless in their drive to reunite humanity. They're initial diplomatic approach was received mixed approval from other legions, but proved to be an effective course of action in many cases. However, their military record was as long and prestigious as any other legion. While they did not bring worlds to compliance as fast as other legions, such as the [[Emperor's Dragoons]] or [[Silver Blades]], they were noted for leaving behind worlds in much further stages of reconstruction and compliance. Noted for their humanity and selflessness, they became well loved throughout the Imperium. Their campaigns spread across the galaxy from the Segmentum Obscurus, across the Ultima Segmentum, and into the fringes of the Segmentum Tempestus. Their expertise in defenses and siege warfare lent them an edge in taking civilized or warlike empires. Breaking through every weak spot and exploiting every mistake in the enemy's defenses with deadly tenacity.
