The 11th legion was mustered from Terran stock, using gene-seed derived from their Primarch, same as every other legion. Unfortunately, this Draco was something of the odd man out, a prophet living among a people without faith. Then he had a falling out with the Emperor over the Lost Daughter. Rather than greatly expand the 11th for coming conquests, the Legion was disbanded, and what remained of its original Astartes broken up into independent chapter-sized units and sent out to die with honor (very reminiscent of what happened with the Loyalist legions after the heresy).
In the aftermath of the Horus Heresy, gene-seed from the 11th was entered into general circulation (either by accident, on purpose, or through subterfuge-not even the Gods seem to know which), and an unknown number of successor chapters were created from Draco stock throughout an unknown number of foundings. The Sons of Xandor, who were known to operate in from around M35-possibly earlier-to M42, are is probably such a chapter. After Abaddon's ascension to the Throne of Terra, a number of successor chapters banded together under the moniker 'Loyal Sons'.
