In the wake of the Sundering Dawn, the Third Legion rises! The Storm Riders are the Sith Empire's tools of reclamation and cultural expansion in response to galactic Planeshift. Headquartered aboard the massive vessel Darklight the Third Legion represents an aspect of Sith expansionism outside of mere fire and brimstone. Charged by the Emperor to spread the culture of Eternalism to the Galaxy outside the Blackwall, in many ways, the Storm Riders represent conquerors and missionaries both. Lacking in the raw military might of the other two Sith Legions, the Storm Riders are formed from Empire-wide tithe - the incredible multicultural weight of an entire Empire now brought to bear against an unenlightened Galaxy. By the Emperor's command, the path to Firefist shall be claimed. No matter the cost.
Arriving above worlds in the thunderous and crackling wake of the Darklight's Tempestarri Storm Generator as if to be a divine appearance. Where the storm arrives, the might of the Empire's Third will follow. Submit to the ways of the Sith, or be swept away in the storm of change.
At the head of this massive menagerie of Sith-Imperials is the brutal Imperator Lirka Ka - whose alien beliefs define the operations of the Legion.
The Legion is represented by motifs of the Hydra. The many heads, attached to one body. The Imperator does not believe in the choking yoke of standardization, and the various aspects that build up the Legion are encouraged to operate as their own separate entities (heads) that still follow the mission/orders commanded by the Imperator (who represents the body). The differences between those who have built up the Empire represent its ultimate strength, for with the hydra's many heads it may spread its gnashing teeth far and wide. Each Head is offered a rather sizeable amount of freedom within the crusading flotilla of the Third and allowed to offer their voice within the council of commanders, headed by a Triarch of the main leaders of the Legion.

Beckoned by the Thustran cry of Ain' od'linel t'lor! Glory to the Strong. Strength is the basis of the brutal meritocracy that the Imperator has built for the Legion - any Head may reap glory if they are willing to show the savage strength required to take hold of power within the hostile void outside the Blackwall. For the dangers of the unknown are the battlefield of this Legion, dangers that are to be brought into the fold of the Sith; or missionaries are to become iconoclasts, and wash away all that is deemed unworthy by the storm.
In the unknown, there is glory unbound. And far away from the watchful eyes of the Empire...the air smells of freedom.
Join today, reap the bounty of Firefist! Glory to the strong! Glory to the Third!
