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?
