History[edit]

Created from the ashes of the Defenders of Andurien after the Andurien Secession, the Free Worlds Legionnaires were carefully vetted to ensure their loyalty to the Free Worlds League as a whole. They also inherited the tradition of combined-arms warfare from the Defenders. [1]
Over the years the brigade was expanded to 8 commands. All members underwent a fierce screening by SAFE to ensure that the soldiers were loyal first to the League and second to the provinces. The fanatical loyalty was answered when the LCCC rebuilt the destroyed Humphreys Training Academy, renaming it the Legionary Training Academy. Since the reopening all students get a slot after their successful graduation. [1]
