History[edit]
Formation[edit]
The First Free Worlds Legionnaires were formed in 3042 from veterans of the Defenders of Andurien and the Marik Guard. Six months later, they fought off a Federated Commonwealth raid on Suzano by the Fifth Syrtis Fusiliers. Using offense in a situation that typically called for defense threw the FedCom unit off guard and forced them to retreat off planet.[1]
They later fought in the Westover Crisis of 3046 and defended Huntington in 3049. After that battle, they were rotated to Andurien to defend that important world.[2][1]
Jihad[edit]
Known for their hatred of the Capellan Confederation, the First Free Worlds Legionnaires quickly struck several Capellan worlds. After the Free Worlds League dissolved, the Legionnaires joined the Duchy of Andurien. After reorganizing as the First Andurien Rangers they raided Principia and repelled an attack on Andurien by the 2nd Oriente Hussars. In 3079, they remained on Atreus as the garrisoning force.[3]
