Air Assault and Superiority

They are fast and surgical, hold a code of honour most highly, and are rather aloof and prideful, as they have a reputation and prestige unlike any other legion. They dominate the skies with Astarte-piloted aircraft, giving them vastly superior skill and ability in flight. Their forces are divided into three categories: Air, Space, and Land. The Space forces are rather minute, as boarding actions are rather rare, but the forces that are deployed are trained and equipped extensively, as space combat is not for the faint of heart nor the weak of mind. The air forces are the most numerous and most sought-after, for the sky is where the most fighting often is. The land forces are not as sought-after due to the fact that most conflicts are resolved with out ground deployment, but they are skilled at combat nonetheless. Due to their organization and dispersed deployment, the Marines Justicar can act as first-responders to almost any major conflict, dealing a critical and punishing defeat before the enemy can counter. Their role and personalities make them almost have a rivalry with other legions, which can turn to anger in more hot-blooded marines. However, any marine who has been in combat with the Justicars knows and respects the awesome skill and efficiency they wield, despite petty rivalries.
===Legion Equipment===

The Legions Vehicle armories are dominated by all manner of aircraft, especially Nephilim jet-fighters, Lightning interceptors, and Thunderbolt air-superiority units. They also use gunships such as Thunderhawks and Storm Eagles, albeit with greater speed and thrust than other gunships. Marauder bombers and Avenger strike-fighter are also used when fighting ground forces, usually after the air-superiority units have taken control of the sky. The other aircraft they field is a fearsome and titanic beast, a flying fortress capable of air combat, bombing runs, cargo transport, ground-strikes, and even space combat. This flying leviathan is a rare and terrifying vehicle, fielded only in the greatest of conflicts. This craft, named the Typhoon, is approximately 70 meters long, with a wingspan of approximately 100 meters. It has 2 side-mounted punisher gatling-guns, 4 wing-mounted assault cannons, 2 side-mounted vulcan mega-bolters, several missile launchers, 10 defensive las-repeaters, and a single quake cannon, capable of leveling battlefields.

As for Marine equipment, all ground-based forces are given a modified jump-pack used for high-lateral-velocity jumps and horizontal movement. It has wings, and a built in rocket-launcher with a limited supply of anti-air missiles. bolt-weapons are a favorite among the Justicars, such as the tried-and-true bolt-gun, but they are normally restricted from using heavy weapons due to their love of close combat. Power swords, chainswords, and knifes are all used extensively. Space troops are given much more advanced equipment, such as terminator armor and energy-based weaponry.

===Legion Organization===

The legion is divided amongst each segmentum in command HQ's that house honor guards consisting of 1000 marines, as well as the training stations for new recruits. 
each HQ is in charge of 10 commands, which also house 200 veteran marines for special missions or tasks.
Each command station controls 10 battalions, which are composed of 40 squadrons of 5 marines each. 
This command structure is meant to be decentralized so that each branch or station can act independently or in unison with the rest for any reason. 


Officers are expected to be able to perform most of the same duties as the Astartes they lead, something heavily emphasized after their reunion with their Primarch, Bohemond. Following in the Primarch's example, officers are encouraged not to issue orders that they themselves would be unwilling to follow. Additionally the Legion would have a high sense of justice, a trait the legion seems to have been created with, and reinforced by the Primarch's own up bringing on his own homeworld. As the First Legion to be created they experienced much of the ending of the Unification Wars, when the tyrants of Old were put to the sword, with the First serving as both Judges and Executioners. As time went by the First Legion would become on occasion paired (uneasily) with the Winged Victory, a brother Legion also frequently used to judge and execute radical forces.
