1st Free Worlds Legionnaires
History
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]
Officers

Tactics
As with their defense of Suzano, the Eagles prefer to stay on the offensive. The specialize in quick raids and flanking.[1]
