History
The 67th Chapter of the VII Legio Astartes, known as "The Scions of the Crusade" had arrived in the Australis Ultima Sector only one and a half years prior to the outbreak of the Horus Heresy. Sent by Lord Dorn and under the command of Marshal Battuta, the 67th had the primary mission of recruiting the next generation of Imperial Fists for many of the far-flung companies operating in expeditionary fleets through Ultima Segmentum. The plan was to draw recruits from a series of worlds in the Australis Ultima sector that had been tithed temporarily to the VII Legio and then deploy them as initiates against Ork threats which remained in the sector. The bulk of the Astartes of the Chapter not assigned to training duties would be erecting fortifications on many of border worlds.
Supplied primarily for training missions and fortication, the 67th was only minimally equipped with heavy armor and specialist weapons. Still, the 67th numbered over 1800 Astartes, and an impressive fleet detachment including the battle-barge Rihla, as well as several strike cruisers and the associated frigates, freighters, and supply ships.
The 67th had a long history of recruiting and training generations of Imperial Fists. Throughout the Crusade, the 67th would stay behind on conquered worlds which had potential to serve as recruitment worlds and establish training-fortresses. Often, a single squad would remain behind to continue the recruitment process. Dozens of such fortress remain in the wake of the 67th Chapter and whichever Expeditionary Fleet it was attached to.
Marshal Battuta
This focus was not an accident. Marshal Batutta, Praetor of the 67th Chapter, is one of the greatest trainers the VII Legio Astartes has. Rising to his first captaincy near the end of the Terran Wars, Battuta was present on the day Lord Dorn met the Emperor over Inwit. He remained in the Inwit cluster for years, integrating the newly recruited aspirants into the VII Legio Astartes. As the Great Crusade accelerated, Battuta, now holding the title of Castellan, was given command of a newly formed company made up of Astartes he had recruited and trained, and was brought to serve directly under Lord Dorn. Dorn recognized Battuta's gift for recruitment and assigned him to the task of maintaining the Imperial Fists' future.
He was given overall command of the 67th Chapter in 001.M31. The newly minted Marshal Battuta was directed by Lord Dorn to continue establishing fortresses and growing the Legio.
Remembrancers have noted that Marshal Battuta is possibly the most well traveled Astartes in the Legions. In his training missions, he traveled from Terra to Inwit, to the far reaches of the Halo Stars, to the Eastern Fringe. He was present for 23 First Contacts with (and subsequent destruction of) Xenos Civilizations. He personally secured compliance with 43 human systems and oversaw the forced compliance of 18 more human systems.
Australis Ultima System
The 67th arrived in Australis Ultima near the end of 004.M31, Marshal Battuta quickly establishing a series of training fortresses on the outskirts of the sector and then deploying his initiates against local Ork bases.
