While having earned a reputation as the vainest bunch of MechWarriors in the Inner Sphere, Marshigama's Legionnaires are a battle-hardened mercenary unit who accepted Capellan sponsorship in 3061.
Contents
History
Formation
The Legionnaires' reputation for vanity began with unit founder Ju-Lei Marshigama, who was crowned "Miss Ningpo 3017", and her questionable belief that her unit must look the part as much as being well-versed in combat. The Homeworld of the unit is Raphael. Only the loveliest female warriors are hired, while male recruits are expected to sport facial hair and as many scars as possible— the better to appear "ferocious" and strike fear into the hearts of the enemy.[1]
4th Succession War
In the 4th Succession War the Legionnaires didn't see any fighting.

Xin Sheng Campaign
Convinced of their superiority, the Legionnaires became the self-anointed leaders of the Capellan Brigade. After accepting Capellan sponsorship, the unit went to the planet Denbar as a garrison force during the St. Ives conflict. There, the Legionnaires confiscated several older 'Mech's from the local militia and used them to fill out their forces. Sang-shao Adrienne Marshigama and her warriors now consider themselves the equal, if not the better, of more prestigious rivals such as McCarron's Armored Cavalry.[1]
Jihad
It was suspected that in the immediate wake of the Jihad that the CO of Ambermarle's Highlanders had resorted to pilfering from shipments from the Tao MechWorks plant on Styk intended for supply to Marshigama's Legionnaires to make up for the Highlander's low priority for supplies within the Capellan military. Sang-shao Marshigama promised to settle things with Ambermarle - or "that old sow", as Marshigama phrased it - at the earliest opportunity.[2]
Officers
As of 3025 to 3063, the commanding officer was Colonel Ju-Lei Marshigama, who founded the Legionnaires.[3][4][5]
As of 3063 to 3067 the commanding officer was Sang-shao Adrienne Marshigama.[1][6]
