Celestial Sons

The Celestial Sons are one of the 20 First Founding Legions of the Space Marines and were originally the XIth Astral Legion during the Unification Wars and Great Crusade of the late 30th Millennium. After the Emperor discovered the Legion's Primarch Exclusior on the world of Volvutier, and gave him command of the Astral Legions then named Celestial Sons, Exclusior went on to lead the XIth Legion in the Great Crusade earning thousands of battle honours over the span of the 200 standard years of service to his father. The XIth Legion was one of the few other Legions that were on par if not better than their brother Legion the XVIth Legion Luna Wolves. The Celestial Sons name was not spoken lightly and they broke the enemies of the Imperium. That is until they were declared a Renegade Space Marine Legion and Excommunicate Traitoris by the High Lords of Terra and were later erased from Imperial History. However, the Celestial Sons still considered themselves to be loyal to the Emperor of Mankind, if not to His Imperium.
