The first to land upon the planet were the series of shuttles that were many times larger than the standard troop transport that the Mechanicum previously employed. Many who had heard of the coming arrival looked out to see the Knights of Dutonis walk out of their craft with banners displaying both their home and their allegiance high into the air.
After the Knights arrived the Acillians and Astartes began to fan themselves out from the secondary transports. They easily took their positions across the ceremonial beach head as the people of Mars looked out in awe, anticipation, and fear.
After all, few could deny the terrifying sight that twenty Knights stood before them in their full magnificence. Add what appeared to be an entire company of Astartes it quickly made those whose hearts were only in the speticle anxious.
As the Knights took their position, so did those of the Mechanicum. Once word had been carried to the Knights of Mars did House Taranis come to meet the Knights of Dutonis. Upon the other side of the isle did these legendary Knights of Mars place themselves parallel to their foreign counterparts. Such was to the relief of the Martian people knowing that their own warriors protected them.
At this moment the members of Legio Proelitor bring out their tidings. Just as the Knights, did they present to the people the banners of Lucius and its Federation. Looking upon it one could see the Federation Banner reminiscent of the Terran Federation’s Flag, but the banner was blackened like the adamantine metal that ran like blood through the system with a golden embroidery.
With these banners did the Proelitor present to their spoils of war. Numerous artifacts from the dark age of humanity as well as numerous preserved Xenos corpses. Such corpses were those of high ranking xenos who the Federation both captured and tried, finding them guilty of harboring evil against humanity as a whole.
As these tidings were dropped did a single final ship come down, this one larger than even the ships that brought the Knights. Slowly walking out of the ship was a Warlord Titan, painted in the blue and gold colors of the Legio Astorum to which it hailed from.
As it blared its horn did the one who stood upon its chassis step forward and fall. Everyone wondered for a fact if he would somehow stop the descent, only for the person to slam upon the floor without injury.
As TalOS DAV1S stood up once again the Primarch walked through both the procession and crowd that now welcomed him upon the Holy Red Planet.
