History
Formation
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. [1][2]
