✠ Imperial Warmaster ✠
"Empires, monuments and legends are built by those who are merely victorious. We were born to kill, not to build. We are not idle long enough to leave monuments and we leave no work of the enemy intact to spawn legends. We are the Indomitus Legion, and he that follows in our wake is death."

- Knightly Order
- Military Order
- Military Branch

- Description:
The Indomitus Legion unifies the imperial values of Order, Unity, Strength, Expansion and Purpose. It sheds the mantle of origin, history, past agitations and discording philosophies in favor of affecting and bringing about lasting change to the Galaxy and its civilisations. Sacrificing compassion, innocence and peace on the altars of progress, destroying corruption, decadence and democracy on the anvil of advancement and eradicating selfish delusions of grandeur through a tight imperial order, the Indomitus Legion does not hesitate to do what is right and necessary.
It is a military order of unique cohesion and comradery, its members from any and all backgrounds, inducted into the Lex Valoris, they grow not only to become soldiers of extraordinary discipline, courage and dedication, but also their own society, an indoctrinated and secluded brotherhood and sisterhood of warriors that shares, embraces and supports each other. It is this mutual adherence to a cause and philosophy that makes these Knights a new force to reckoned with on the battlefields of the Galaxy.
In battle they are deployed equally as specialised units and an unyielding, unwavering formation of brute force. They adaptability only being second to their fighting skill, especially in close combat. They follow in the footsteps of the Praetorian Guard, Stormtrooper Corps, Knights of Zakuul and Shadowtroopers.

- Membership:
- Legion Recruitment
- Finding New Knights
- Volunteers - Volunteers are accepted into the program without physical checks and will enter the same basic training as those recruited otherwise.
- Seeker Trials - The Legion has members actively seeking out territories outside the realm, especially worlds with strong martial and warrior cultures, to find recruits through local trials and then induct them into the Legion's Unanointed training program.
- Imperial Tithe - Through the Imperial Tithe recruits from loyal and affiliated worlds are drafted to become members of the Imperial military. Those that show special resilience and willpower, are then offered to join the Indomitus Legion, to create a force of volunteered soldiers rather than conscripted. From there they go through a lengthy training and induction period before they are asked to swear their oaths.
- Remnant Militaries - From Imperial remnant militaries, proven and seasoned veterans are able to join the Legion equally, but will undergo the same procedures of training and induction as imperial draftees.
- Lex Valoris - The Lex Valoris is the swearing of the Oaths of Valor, Honor and Loyalty during their respective trials. After successfully passing them, the Knight will receive their Indomitus tattoo onto the left upper arm and be progressing to their Indomitus Anointment. Those that do not pass, are either returned to the Imperial military or if their zeal and willpower is outstanding, inducted into the Heralds of Zildrog.
- Indomitus Anointment - The anoinment is a surgical procedure where the Knight will receive their cybernetics and bio-enhancements from the Legion's Black Celestant Division. Afterwards they are being given their Knight Armor and becoming Squires to serve the Legion proper.
- Finding New Knights
- Support Recruitment - Recruitment for the support branches, especially the Engineering Corps and Intelligence Division is entirely on volunteer basis and merit-based. Only those that seek to serve alongside the Legion and have the necessary skills and experience to prove useful are being accepted into its ranks.
- Legion Recruitment
- Climate:
- Knightly Order - The Legion operates as a martial brotherhood bound by sacred oaths and unbreakable duty. Its warriors see themselves not as mere soldiers, but as inheritors of an Imperial knightly tradition - sworn to a higher purpose beyond personal ambition. Rituals, codes of honor, and a strict hierarchy define their existence, with each warrior expected to embody the virtues of duty, valor, and unrelenting resolve. Titles, heraldry, and ceremonial armor reinforce their identity as a chosen elite, standing apart from the common soldiery of the Empire. Disgrace is unthinkable; to fail in one's oath is to be unworthy of the Legion itself.
- Soldiers Comradery - Despite their knightly bearing, the Legion's greatest strength lies in the unshakable bonds between its warriors. They fight not as individuals, but as a single entity, forged in shared hardship and absolute trust. Training is brutal, but it is also communal - squads eat, sleep, and bleed together, their loyalty to one another second only to their devotion to the Empire. This comradery is not born of sentimentality, but necessity; in battle, hesitation means death, and only those who know their brothers and sisters without doubt can survive the Legion's wars. To betray this trust is the only unforgivable sin.
- Secret Warriors - Beneath the Legion's outward unity lies a web of secrets, known only to those deemed worthy. The rank-and-file Knights believe wholly in the Legion's Imperial mission, unaware of the deeper truths guarded by the Shadow Circle and Shrouded Circle. Those who ascend into these inner ranks find themselves bound by new oaths - sworn to hidden wars beyond the comprehension of ordinary soldiers. Suspicion is rare, but vigilance is constant; the Legion's unity is maintained through controlled knowledge, ensuring that none question what they are not meant to understand. Even among the most trusted, some truths remain unspoken.
- Reputation:
- Jedi, Republic, Lightsiders - To the Jedi, the Indomitus Legion is a grim reflection of what happens when duty eclipses compassion. They see not warriors, but fanatics—soldiers stripped of doubt, their minds honed into weapons as unyielding as their blades. The Legion's absolute loyalty to the Empire and its willingness to discard morality in the name of order unsettle those who believe in the Force's balance. Some Jedi whisper that the Legion is a greater threat than mere Sith, for its warriors do not crave power; they serve without question, making them far harder to sway or reason with.
- Sith, Dark side - The Sith respect the Legion's discipline and martial prowess but disdain its lack of ambition. To them, the Indomitus Knights are little more than well-trained hounds - loyal, deadly, but ultimately tools rather than masters. Some Sith see potential puppets, others dangerous rivals.
- Imperials - Within the Empire, the Indomitus Legion is both admired and feared. Stormtroopers and officers respect their unmatched discipline, but few envy their brutal training or reclusive comradery. High Command values them as the ultimate enforcers - unshaken by doubt, unburdened by conscience. Yet even the most loyal officers keep a measured distance, aware that the Legion answers only to the Imperial Throne, its own code and the Warmaster's will. To serve alongside them is to witness war waged without hesitation, without remorse.
- Civilians, Criminals - To civilians, the Legion is a specter - an implacable force that arrives not as protectors, but as executioners of Imperial will. They bring order, but never mercy. Criminals and rebels speak of them in hushed tones; where stormtroopers may falter, the Indomitus do not. There are no negotiations, no second chances. Some worlds under their protection are eerily compliant; others whisper of disappearances, of those who questioned the Empire's rule and were quietly erased. The Legion does not rule through fear - it simply is fear, a fact as cold and certain as gravity.
- Curios:
- Tattoo - The insignia of the Legion, the rising sword, is tattooed on the left upper arm of every Unanointed who has their trials of the Lex Valoris.
- Project Black Celestant - The final cybernetical procedure every new member of the Indomitus Legion undergoes to become a fully anointed Indomitus Knight.
- Indomitus Knight Armor - Once Anointed, every Indomitus Squire receives their personal armor. It is revered as a central part of their equipment and identity, meant to last, even though not expected, it will eventually grow rich in personal details, decals, bear the unit markings and veterancy status as well as rank.
- Rules:
- Lex Valoris:
We are Indomitus.
In darkness, we bring light.
In silence, we bring judgment.
In mastery, we bring victory.
Our loyalty is to the Empire, our will to the Warmaster.
We are the sword without hesitation, the shield without doubt.
Through war, we bring order.
Through strength, we bring unity.
We are the edge of His blade - unyielding, unbroken, eternal.- The Lex Valoris has been written by
Imperius Indomitus
to follow the principles of past Empires and Orders, they are deeply engaved into every Indomitus Legion member's soul and mind, a code and verbatim to follow when in doubt. It does not evoke the same spiritual or metaphysical nuances such as Sith or Jedi Codes, but it is not meant to. It offers purpose, direction and unity to those who fight under the Iron Sun.
- The Lex Valoris has been written by
- Lex Valoris:
- Goals:
- Imperial Hegemony
The Imperial Indomitus Legion prides itself to be of Imperial descent and heritage, founded by Imperial veterans from the Third Imperial Civil War, Second Great Hyperspace War, Core Wars, Wars against the Bryn'adûl and continuous battles against the forces of decadence and corruption across the Galaxy. It is in their blood, the will of defiance and strife for order, the ideal of unity under the Iron Sun.
It is their goal to bring back Imperial Hegemony, as dominant military and political power, at all costs. There is no alternative for the Galaxy to recover and prosper in the wake of the corroding influences that its waning realms have spread, other than their total annihilation. It is not through diplomacy, not through carefully planted agents and schemes nor through idleness that this is achieved. It requires total mobilisation and militarisation of all assets. The Indomitus Legion is that tool, the one that bears the standard of Imperial Hegemony onto the battlefields of the Galaxy and shows its enemies that only submission is an option for survival. - Destruction of the Force [Shrouded Circle only]
Created by
Imperius Indomitus
from the ideals and goals of the Wardens of the Shroud, the Indomitus Legion does not merely strife for the rise and supremacy of Imperial values of the New Order and successor ideologies, but its very heart strives to undo one of the greatest destroyers and warmongers of the universe.
Known only to what is known as the Shrouded Circle, the closest group of highest ranking officers of the Indomitus Legion, their aim is to annihilate the Force or at least the Will of the Force that allegedly brings balance, pushing the Galaxy into perpetual war. It is their intimate objective to achieve one or the other and due to its devastating and far-ranging effects, is kept a closely guarded secret that no outsider can or will ever learn. - Conditioning [Shadow Circle only]
All those who go through the Indomitus Anointment are secretly implanted with a derivative of the inhibitor chip, yet not to an extent that it becomes noticeable. It mildly alters the persons compliance to orders and makes the discipline and loyalty already indoctrinated in training more natural. Further this emphasizes on all Imperial propaganda that is deeply buried and connected into the Squire's memory. To not raise suspicion or offer reason for doubt, this process is kept secret and subtle. - Crusade Against the Dormant
The Indomitus Legion and its attachments are unrelenting in their opposition to the Jedi and Sith and all orders, organisations and individuals that worship the Force in one way or another, either of its aspects and cling to ancient religions such as the Jedi or Sith. It is their sworn duty, their solemn vow to hunt and destroy these mindless minions and fight them with a ferocity that is as zealous as it is righteous.

✠ Historical Information ✠
The Indomitus Legion was established in the wake of the Iron Protocols, a doctrinal mandate issued to restore order and enforce unity amid the chaotic fragmentation that followed the collapse of the galactic order. Conceived initially as the unifying military body of the Hegemony of Zakuul and Iokath, it quickly became evident that the Legion's purpose and potential extended far beyond serving a single regional dominion. With the formalization of the Iron Empire, the Indomitus Legion assumed the mantle of its primary martial force, asserting itself not only as a military institution but as a foundation of imperial ideology. While the early ideological and technological influence of Zakuul and Iokath remains embedded within its practices, the Hegemony's political significance rapidly diminished. The Legion evolved into a semi-autonomous warlord institution within the Iron Empire, loyal solely to the Imperial Warmaster.From its earliest days, the Indomitus Legion was crafted with precision and deliberation, both as a functional war machine and as a symbol of the new imperial order. Its leadership rejected the decentralization and political bloat of previous Imperial militaries, instead embracing a streamlined, deeply hierarchical structure. The Legion was not designed to be a mere army, but a brotherhood of warriors bound by loyalty, doctrine, and transformation. Drawing conceptual inspiration from the ancient martial orders of Zakuul and the austere traditions of the Imperial Knights, its organizational framework was infused with discipline, symbolism, and ritual.
A central doctrine of the Legion became the Lex Valoris, a code of conduct and warrior ethos that defined the moral, ideological, and spiritual core of every Indomitus Knight. Through it, each member was reminded that the Legion was more than soldiers, it was the sword and shield of the Empire, forged to bring light to darkness and judgment to disorder. With this as its foundation, the Legion's hierarchical structure was divided into distinct circles of authority and secrecy. The Shadow Circle, composed of mid- to high-level commanders, held knowledge of the conditioning all Knights undergo to ensure unwavering loyalty and obedience. Above them stood the Shroud Circle, a secretive inner circle that answered only to the Warmaster himself and was privy to his most esoteric and final aim: the eradication of the Force as the root of all galactic strife.
As the Legion expanded, its organization matured into a vast system of combat, support, and spiritual elements. Its central core remained the Indomitus Knights, soliders shaped through brutal training, subtle ideological indoctrination, and extensive cybernetic augmentation. These warriors began their journey as Unanointed, rigorously drilled to meet the physical and psychological standards. Upon entering training, they were subjected to a grueling, melee-focused regime more demanding than that of Stormtroopers or Clone Commandos. Those who survived were tested in the three trials of the Lex Valoris, swearing the Oaths of Valor, Honour, and Loyalty. Only then would they undergo the Indomitus Anointment, during which they received the Black Celestant, a full-body suite of cybernetic enhancements and implants, transforming them into true Indomitus Knights.
This strict recruitment process was paralleled by the development of support institutions. The Heralds of Zildrog were reformed to safeguard the spiritual integrity and moral direction of the Legion, serving as chaplains, inquisitors, and executioners where necessary. The Order of Ascendant Armigers was established to assist the highest echelons of command. Technological advancement and logistics were handled by the Imperial Legion Corps of Engineers, who managed the production and maintenance of equipment, cybernetics and experimental warfare projects. Internal security, loyalty enforcement, and intelligence gathering fell under the Imperial Legion Overwatch Division, a powerful force that worked its spies and agents across the Galaxy. To command the void, the Battlefleet Indomitus was raised with its officers drawn from the ranks of the Knights and trained in a specialized branch to enforce the Empire's will across the stars. Lastly, the Indomitus Scions, composed of former Scions of Zakuul, were preserved as a secretive and dangerous cadre of seers, enforcers, and interrogators loyal only to the Shroud Circle.
What emerged from these efforts was not merely an army, but a mechanism of control, ideology, and transformation, an institution designed to outlast war, rebellion, and even the Force itself. The Indomitus Legion is the purest expression of the Iron Empire's ethos: unyielding, unbroken, and unbent.
