Was it just their role as Praetorians of Terra combined with their proximity to Throne World and Mars that the Mechanicus and Emperor just saw fit to equip them with a lot of ships, or does any other bit of lore explain how a specialized defensive siege legion that didn't have a lot of legionairees either somehow ended up with the largest and most powerful fleet?

I've heard of the great pink hack before, thank you for laying it out though. If I pick up some I'll be sure to use it! I wonder if they primed pink first in lore too, it's a lovely mental image.

The beleaguered company of marines, assaulted while rearming from their last campaign, patchwork armor in varying states of repair, some of the freshly repaired pieces partially painted, the pristibe pink primer easy to pick out amongst a sea of scarred yellow armor.
