abstract	Auxilia Ogryn Charonite could readily be found among the arsenals of several void-capable human pocket-civilisations of Segmentum Solar, such as the Saturnyne Enclaves. Their true origins lay lost within the Age of Strife, but they remained a common if not widespread sight during the early years of the Great Crusade. The difficult and unstable technologies used in their creation - some of them being rumoured to be of xenos provenance - has led the Adeptus Mechanicus to declare the creation of Charonites as unholy and proscribed. Realizing what a powerful addition these Charonite squads would make to the Imperial Army, the Solar Auxilia obtained a dispensation for the creation and use of Charonites in limited numbers. This was further facilitated by the strong ties the early Solar Auxilia maintained through their own origins with the Saturnyne Enclaves, Terra and the celestial keeps of Pavonis which had all retained much of their independence from the Imperial rule. As the Horus Heresy raged, many Loyalist Solar Auxilia commands, particularly those cut off from Terra turned to the creation of Charonites to strengthen their forces, particularly as a match against the power of Traitor Legiones Astartes and Dark Mechanicum forces. The difficulty of their creation ensured that such products of Old Night did not become widespread. Charonites, however, did fight nearly continuously during the Horus Heresy, most notoriously amongst the forces of the Agathean Domain as, due to the sizeable Ogryn population of the Feral World of Othion, the Agathean Domain disposed of more than enough candidates for conversion. Ogryn Charonite squads also notoriously fought during The Treachery at Port Maw incident, when Grand Admiral LaBray released hundreds of Charonites within the corridors of his own flagship, the Triumph of Reason, when it came under assault by Sons of Horus Traitor Legionaries. Here in the confines of the battleships corridors the Charonites proved utterly deadly, tipping the balance of forces in favour of the Loyalists until Warmaster Horus Lupercal himself had to intervene to stem the tide.
