The Reconquista Fleet was upon a scale rarely ever seen from groups outside of the Emperor’s personal exploratory fleet. Going through space the fleet numbered two hundred and fifty in size. Many of these ships bore the mark of Mars upon them but so many more of them carried the brand of other Forge Worlds.
Such a fleet of course had a monsterous upkeep. To sustain such a fleet TalOS needed roughly a quarter of these ships searching and extracting their weight in fuel. This might have been a trying item for even a Primarch to manage but with thousands of Magos ranked Tech Priests managing such tasks they were able to easily retrieve their fuel sources from nearby worlds of both the Imperial and Mechanicum kind.
The one thing that TalOS could take pride in was the fact that each and everyone one of the ships and Priests wore a mark of red upon their robes and hulls. No longer was the color red belonging to Mars but instead all who pledged themselves to fighting the enemies of man and searching for Technology on the far outstretches of the Galaxy.
+How are you feeling?+ UZ1 asked TalOS as they walked the halls of their lone cruiser.
+The weight of an entire Crusade has been placed on my shoulders.+ TalOS declared as he thought to himself for another moment, +But it feels natural. This was what I was built to do.+
+Your brother said the same, but that was when he fights people upon the ground.+ UZ1 pointed out as she shined the Primarch a smile, +You are far more suited to be leading people.+
+Surely I have other brothers who will match me in the marks of command. Horus was simply not bred or raised for overarching command situations but instead being the ‘Spearhead’ as he referred to it.+
+It is odd to think of the Spearhead as an honor. The records I was able to find on Mars and Terra all indicated an above fatality ratio for all Astartes who took place in it. Beach head attempts should also be suited for those specialized in it.+
TalOS thought to himself for a moment as if trying to figure a reason, +Morale is the only concept I can see improved with Spearheads becoming a focus. If I also judge from my brother’s intent I would think the Sixteenth Legion specialized in such warfare.+
+Hmm, an interesting thought. We will not be able to employ such actions ourselves however.+ The Adept admitted as they continued down the halls.
