==History==
Formed in [[3059]] V Legio was primarily staffed by soldiers drawn from the Illyrian area. These troops were later deployed to the [[Lothian League]] as the Hegemony took control of those worlds. To make up losses in other Legions, V Legio lost a cohort of MechWarriors and two cohorts of conventional forces. These troops were replaced by Lothians who were eager to join the Marian Legions. Most of these troops were assigned to auxiliary units supporting V Legio. They spent much of their time in the Lothian district working to repair infrastructure.<ref name=FMP81/> During the brief war between the Marian Hegemony and the [[Circinus Federation]], V Legio remained as the garrison force for the Lothian district. After that fighting ended, however, the V Legio was faced with several raids and spoiling attacks thought to be executed by [[Word of Blake]]–sponsored units in retaliation.<ref>''Field Manual: Updates'', p. 195</ref>

The Fifth Legion spent the [[Jihad]] garrisoning the Lothian district. In [[3079]] they were stationed on [[Lothario]]. The ''[[Imperator (rank)|Imperator]]'' of the Legions informed the ''[[Caesar (rank)|Caesar]]'' that at this same time, the Fifth was consuming far too many supplies and had far too few soldiers for the number of recruits that were accepted. The ''Imperator'' had no evidence, but suspected that the Fifth was funneling these troops and supplies to a Lothian resistance movement.<ref>''Field Report: Periphery'', p. 15</ref>

In August [[3081]] the [[Dragonslayers]] mercenary unit had five MechWarriors kidnapped, beheaded, and the heads left in a sack. The Dragonslayers retaliated by destroying the suburb containing the headquarters of the company whose logo was on the sack. This triggered a popular uprising in the Lothian district, and the Fifth Legion was in the thick of the fighting. They had pushed pro-Marian forces off Lothario in late 3081.<ref>''Field Manual: 3085'', p. 132</ref> Despite the Fifth's actions, including its commander calling for a general uprising, they haven't yet rebuilt from losses sustained in the Jihad. They remained on Lothario in [[3085]].<ref>''Field Manual: 3085'', p. 144</ref>

Around [[3086]] ''[[Prefect (rank)|Prefect]]'' Gaius Dillford handed himself over to the Marian Hegemony despite protests from the rank and file as he felt honor-bound to do so. He was court-martialed as a traitor and executed in [[3091]], leading V Legio to renounce all ties to the Marian Hegemony. They would soon become to be called the '''[[Punic Legion]]'''.<ref>''Era Report: 3145'', p. 78</ref>

=== Re-formation and Dark Age ===
 
Prior to 3148, V Legio was re-formed by the Marian Hegemony Armed Forces. In 3148 they were stationed on [[Maximillian]]. In retaliation for the Hegemony's invasion of the [[Duchy of Tamarind-Abbey]], [[Camacho's Caballeros]] raided the world. They forced them to retreat, herding them into a trap and effectively destroying the unit again.<ref>''Shattered Fortress'', p. 71: "The Sword of Damocles"</ref> <!-- who destroyed whom? -->
