The Knights Stellaris were the XVIII Legion of the original twenty-one Space Marine Legions under their Primarch Solomon “Dawntreader” Tyrus. The legion is known for its knightly virtues and use of dreadknights and gravtanks that makes them stand out from the rest of their brothers. It was this legion that would lose their primarch in the Brotherwar fighting for the Imperium.
History[edit | edit source]
Pre-Primarch History[edit | edit source]
The history of the XVIIIth legion dates back to the later part of the Unification Wars and later battles in the Sol System. On Terra, the XVIIIth Legion fought as a support force with other legions during this time. Fighting against dirty and bloody techno-barbarians that still fought against the will and authority of the Emperor. However, despite these actions, they would defend the Emperor's land and citizens against this same techno-barbarian hordes. The legions that fought with and helped were the XIVth and the Ist. It is with these two legions that would help the XVIIIth legion in their battles of conquest and liberation in the Great Crusade until they would finally meet their primarch on the planet of Avalon. They gained the reputation as defenders of the innocent and the realm from these early days.

Legion Organization[edit | edit source]
The Round Council: A group of high ranking and notable individuals of the Stellaris Knights that help advise Solomon on affairs of both the Imperium and the Great Crusade. During the Brotherwar, they would gain more influence on the affairs of the legion and their actions. After the death of their primarch, they would have a series of small wars between them that lasted for years over a conspiracy of which of them would be the leader of the legion.
Special units[edit | edit source]
Honored Templars: These are veterans of decades of conflicts in the Great Crusade. Each one of them is a hero in their own way that fought for Primarch and Imperium. They are held back as there are seen as the last resort when dealing with enemies of the Imperium. They lost half of their numbers fighting in the Brotherwar.
Red Wings: Jetbike squadrons that use melta weapons. Used for anti-armor tactics and was considered to be a dangerous unit to be in as they have a high casualty rate. These knights were chosen from only Avalon stock and where else.
