==Primarch Discovery==

The Emperor arrived to Solnhofen as the Primarch of the Legion was waging war against the Xenos inhabitants of the planet. He confronted the man, revealing himself and the Primarch's origins. The mighty warrior bent the knee to his father and was rewarded with the command of the XVII Legion. After completing the conquest of his world, Primarch [[Tiran Osoros]] formally took command of his Legion.
 
After his education on Terra, Tiran Osoris opted to change the focus on the Legion. As opposed to its previous focus on repeated hit and run tactics, he opted for a method of fighting which saw success on his home planet. Speed and endurance were critical to this new discipline, but not in the same manner as before. Instead, they would focus on tiring an enemy before hitting them with a rapid force and overwhelming firepower.

Above all, Tiran enforced a "humanization" of his forces. While on Solnhofen, Astartes were expected to aid the local citizens with a variety of tasks required for day-to-day survival. All his Marines were trained to have some skill in farming, construction, toolmaking, and other arts required for civilization to thrive. They were instructed to spend time learning from iterators and remembrancers, learning how to negotiate and become diplomats. As Tiran saw it, his men were individually responsible for upholding the ideals of the Legion, and by extension, the entirety of the Imperium of Man.
