The '''Jie Fang Legion''' was a military command that was formed from disaffected, former [[St. Ives Compact]] troops after the end of the [[Capellan-St. Ives War]] that did not wish to become part of the [[Capellan Confederation Armed Forces]]. Though they were technically a [[mercenary unit]], the Legion was largely supported by Duke [[George Hasek II]].<ref name=FMCCp116>''Field Manual: Capellan Confederation'', p. 116, "Jie Fang Legion Unit Profile"</ref>
