History

The 3-17 Orbital Assault Company came into being shortly after the 14th Legion reclaimed Mortarion as their Primarch. With the Great Crusade under way, the need for Orbital Assault specialists had never been higher. Primarily consisting of Barbarus inductees, the 3-17 became famous for executing strategic decapitation strikes against enemy command structures. They utilized close-range fire support gun carriages, such as the robust Rapier tracked carrier, to bolster the firepower available in the first wave of the drop. Quad-mortars with so-called "Shatter" shells were employed to destroy fortification and structure walls so that the particularly well-equipped infantry of the 3-17 could sweep and clear prime tactical targets. This tactic was employed to great effect many times during the Great Crusade.

During the Heresy, the 3-17 were frequently called upon to break enemy defense lines as they formed, providing the tip of the spear. As such, the 3-17 had a relatively high mortality rate, but a high rate of overall mission success. Refusing to yield under duress led to victory in extreme circumstances.

The 3-17 had a reputation that proceeded them. This was the primary reason they were called upon to enter the 2nd Golloch War, as the forces pledged for the Warmaster prepared to assault the Gaul Star Port EN-BE551N. No matter the cost, the Star Port would fall.
