- Unit Experience: Recruit
- Equipment:
- Combat Function: The Legion of the One serve as the primary military force for the new One Sith. They are the front line soldiers of the organization, dedicated to carrying out the will of the Sith in battle against their enemies, and serving as the protectors of their instillations and future worlds. In battle, they focus primarily on small squad tactics and use maneuverability as their best defense. Instead of human wave tactics or brute force assaults, Legion of the One soldiers will focus on picking apart their foes on a dozen fronts all at once, weakening them with a thousand cuts before launching a final assault. In space, they serve as shipboard marine detachments, ensuring the security of One Sith warships and acting as boarding parties when called upon.
- Personal Initiative: Legion of the One soldiers are trained and educated in matters of military history and doctrine, ensuring each warrior in their ranks is well versed in many methods of war. Officers receive even more specialized training, and these two elements put together allow for Legion of the One units to operate highly independently. In battle, commanders often give squad or platoon leaders only vague goals, and allow the superior background of their soldiers to carry the day.
- Flexible: On top of their dedicated military education, Legion of the One soldiers are expected to be able to fight with almost any weapon given to them, and be able to operate some combat vehicles and defenses in emergency situations. This ability to fit into a number of different roles allows for the Legion of the One soldiers to fill larger and more numerous roles on the battlefield, freeing up more specialized forces for specific tasks.
- Mortal: The Legion of the One soldiers are all volunteers, men and women who have chosen to dedicate themselves to the goals and ends of the One Sith. They do not undergo any indoctrination of forced submission by their Sith leaders, and are each their own person from the moment they join the One Sith, to their deaths. This has the problem however of Legion of the One soldiers facing morale problems, and coupled with their highly individualistic mentalities, they can at times ignore or outright resist orders that might see their lives thrown away.
- Jackie: With their extensive and well rounded military education, the Legion of the One suffers are rather prominent dilemma. To ensure each soldier is capable of filling the wide range of roles required of them, each individual is of a general lesser quality than those of more dedicated units. The Legion of the One soldiers can engage foes in a number of ways, but when put head to head against specialized opponents, they often suffer heavy losses.
Following the creation of the One Sith by Darth Vindictus, the pressing need for a military arm was felt. Standard dogma called for the forced recruitment and subversion of civilians from across the galaxy to their banner. However, guided by his own beliefs, Darth Vindictus sought a different method. Starting first on Copero, he offered people the chance to join the One Sith military willingly. Every volunteer would receive food, housing, a steady income, and the chance to fight for a cause that promised to bring about a new, brighter future for the galaxy. The refugee filled world of Copero, still reeling from the mass devastation caused by the destruction of Csilla, had many recruits to give.
The Legion of the One began its growth on Copero, but as the One Sith began to grow, they moved their operations to the organizations fledgling fleet. Every vessel was equipped with training and education centers, allowing for volunteers to be taken on every world the One Sith fleet visits, and trained on the move. While not as large as other galactic powers armies, especially compared to other Sith militaries, the Legion of the One has grown to become the a force to be reckoned with.
