Eldon Woodworth was the commander of the II Prima Auxilia Legio, a part of the II Legio, from at least 3145 to 3152.[1][2]
History[edit]
Legatus Woodworth, with II Prima Auxilia Legio, was based on Trasjkis as of 3145.[1]
In 3147, Woodworth was assigned to the assault on the Free Worlds League world of Lepaterique, where II Prima Auxilia Legio served in its intended secondary support role, but later in the occupation was left unsupported as the Marian Hegemony's only remaining force.
Cut off from the Hegemony due to the Free Worlds League attack on Illyria, Woodworth sought to exercise what he believed was his prerogative over the resentful population of Lepaterique, and enslaved local civilians to perform the manual labor his unit required. However after riots in the city of Puerto Cortes, which included the live broadcast of the execution and dismemberment of Woodworth’s senior Principes, Woodworth relented and freed those he had reduced to slavery.
Despite suffering desertions, and being a lack of supplies and reinforcement from the Hegemony, consistent with his orders from II Legio CO Prefect Colby Pritchard Woodworth maintained the occupation of Lepaterique alone for at least four years.[2]
