Luna Wolves (Sons of Horus)
Luna Wolves (Sons of Horus) was the XVIth Space Marine Legion raised by the Emperor of Mankind on Terra at the dawn of the Great Crusade in the late 30th Millennium.
After the Emperor discovered the Legion's Primarch Horus Lupercal in the world of Cthonia and gave him command of the Luna Wolves, Horus went on to lead the XVIth Legion in earning thousands of battle honors over the 200 standard years of the Great Crusade.
The XVIth Legion was initially known as the Luna Wolves due to their Pacification of Luna(the moon of Earth ) Early in the Great Crusade. However, in honor of Horus' outstanding achievements during atter years of that era after the Imperial victory over the Orks during the Ullanor Crusade, the Emperor suggested that the Legion be renamed the "Sons of Horus" to honor his most beloved son's accomplishments.
Horus at first refused, fearing that setting himself above his Primarch brothers would lead to factional strife. But, eventually, he did institute this change, at his bother Sanguinius' urging, just before the events culminating in his conversion to the service of the Dark Gods of Chaos on the world of Davin.
Following the Horus Heresy, most of the Sons of Horus escaped into the Eye of Terror, where they were primarily shattered during the Legion Wars. Following the Battle of Harmony, large amounts of the Legion were later absorbed into former First Captain Ezekyle Abaddon's Black Legion.
