History
Formation
The 16th Legion of Vega was created as a "replacement" for the 14th Legion, which was wiped out by the Smoke Jaguars on Turtle Bay, in the early stages of the Clan Invasion. The unit was constructed from low-ranking academy graduates and warriors already being considered for transfer from their existing units. Officers who were respectable were chosen, even if they were not distinguished.[1]
As of 3059, the unit had engaged in no significant actions.

Officers

- 3067, Tai-sa Lawrence Sheppard[2].
Tactics
The 16th uses artillery-delivered smoke rounds to create favorable battle conditions, either closing with an enemy under cover of the smokescreen or using them to conceal FASCAM-delivered minefields.[1]
