Editing Space Marine Inductii (section)

==Culture shock==

The Inductii were typically looked down on by the [[Great Crusade]] veterans, being seen as the new guy and many legions would not be happy about the influx of new recruits who weren't versed in the cultures of the Legion. The term "Inductii" was only wide spread through the Traitor Legions, as it had come to be a byword for "Abomination" and "Shame" due to their bio-heresy origins with the World Eaters, and while other Legions Inductii weren't (ironically) as heretical with their production they were still seen as an inferior breed of Space Marine and would typically be shunned and not given the same privileges as their older brothers, such as the Sons of Horus banning Cthonian symbols and imagery on their Inductii. The Loyalists typically had their own names for their Inductii, with the Imperials Fists on Terra calling them [[Black Templars|Neophytes]] or Sentries, they usually shared the traitors opinion of the Inductii being lesser than what had come before them with one Imperial Fist commander lamenting the raising of the Inductii, seeing it as the knowledge and legacy of the [[Great Crusade]] being bled away and replaced with an untested and undisciplined rabble.
 
Despite this divide between the Legionaries and the Inductii, both were physiologically nearly identical with the Inductii having all of the same Geneseed and traits as the Veteran legionaries (admittedly with a bit more genetic deviation and flaws on the Inductii's side with the rushed implementation process they would go through), and the combat capabilities of the Inductii were on-par with the other Legionaries. The distinction between the Legionaries and the Inductii was primarily cultural, though to be fair this cultural division was not just fostered by the original legionaries, with plenty of the Inductii not acclimatising or embracing the Legions cultures.

As the Legions grew desperate they started looking for more recruitment pools which meant recruiting from populations outside of the Legion home worlds and recruitment worlds, with little to no similarity to the cultures worlds that had fostered the Legions original cultures. This sort of culture clash had occurred in a few of the Legions when the Terran marines were reunited with the [[Primarch]]s and started butting heads with the new marines from the new Legion home worlds, but the recruitment of the Inductii brought back these problems and more. As the Legions mass recruitment brought in more and more of these Inductii from differing cultures, the Inductii were increasingly separated into their own companies and battalions where they would foster their own culture by mixing the traditions of their home world with those of the legion, or outright rejecting the Legions traditions and creating their own. This naturally increased the friction between the Inductii and Legionaries and with most attempts to bridge the gap between the two groups ending in failure. By the time of the [[Siege of Terra]], most Legions were internally fractured between the remaining Legionaries from the Great Crusade and multiple groups of Inductii.

Ironically (or suitably depending on your point of view), the Inductii would be the ones go on to re-define the characters of the [[Space Marine]]s in their new [[Space Marine Chapter|Chapter]] forms, as a lot of quirks and flaws that would become present in the Chapters started with the Inductii, being fostered with the Inductii companies and their use during the heresy. The [[Iron Hands]] technological obsession was fostered in the Inductii due to their extensive augments, the [[Space Wolves]] Inductii acting as [[Blood Claw|proto-Blood Claws]] and the increased geneseed degradation saw far more [[Wulfen]] appear in the Legion, and even the defining tactics for many post-heresy chapters, such as the introduction of special weapons into the [[Tactical Squad]]s were first seen in the [[Ultramarines]] Inductii. Many Inductii companies would also go off and form their own Chapters during the [[Second Founding]], separate from their parent Legions which probably explains chapters like the [[Mortifactors]] being so different from thier parent legions.

In truth, the Inductii were not the last warriors of the Legions. They were the first Soldiers of the Chapters.
