Marshigama's Legionnaires
Sarna News
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.

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.

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 ‘Mechs 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.
