OUT OF CHARACTER INFORMATION

GENERAL INFORMATION
  • | Unit Name | The 13th Umbral Legion
  • | Affiliation | Darth Bellum Darth Bellum
  • | Classification | Shocktroopers
  • | Description |
    • The 13th Legion, previously nicknamed the Warmaster's Wrath, is renamed from the Red Legion under the command of Kor Vexen when he led the Sith Empire's armies. Once identified by their unique Dragoon and Nightseer armor sets, they now wear uniform armor in the form of the Imperial Storm Elite to distinguish them from other units. Its members are still identified and called Dragoons as opposed to stormtroopers. Soldiers of the 13th Legion are identified by their armor and markings, specifically a deep red with a streak over their eye, symbolic of the blood that they tread through in becoming subordinate to a Sith Battlelord as well as the blood they have shed while in service. The emblem that represented the NIO that was printed on their armor had been scratched out, replaced with the sigil of Darth Bellum traced in blood.

COMBAT INFORMATION
Similar in methods to that of Mandalorians, the 13th Legion operates on high mobility, blitz tactics utilizing jetpacks. They engage the enemy rapidly and ruthlessly, using their superior mobility to gain an edge over the enemy, pressing the assault, utilizing higher ground and state of the art tech to their advantage. They can be deployed at a moment's notice across the battlefield, able to rapidly maneuver from one front to the next to reinforce or press an attack.
Strengths
  • | Rift Born | Having been molded and hardened even further due to their occupation of Otherspace, the 13th Legion has become stronger and more resilient than any other standard military unit in the known Galaxy, each rivaling the capabilities of Force Sensitives as far as strength, reaction/reflexes, and combat efficiency. Their ability to be summoned via rifts created to Otherspace also makes their presence and arrival to the battlefront very spontaneous and difficult to anticipate.
  • | Elite Vanguard | The 13th Legion is comprised of the most battle-hardened and elite men and women to have served in armed forces across the galaxy. With their beginnings as an already elite unit during their service under the Sith Empire under the expert command of Kor Vexen, the 13th Legion led the Sith Imperial armies by taking the lead. Chosen from the best of the best, their training and combat prowess was only further increased to push them to their physical limits and even further beyond. They can go hand to hand with Mandalorians, Jedi, and Sith while still having a fair fighting chance.
  • | Shock and Awe | The 13th Legion's ability to outmaneuver and overwhelm their enemies are second to none in the galaxy. Using the tools and weapons at their disposal, there is hardly an obstacle that they cannot overcome. They are renowned for both their brutality and strategy on the battlefront.
Weaknesses
  • | Rift Corruption | Due to their time spent in Otherspace, the 13th Legion has had much of their minds warped, similar to that of the Charon species that were driven to the point of becoming a death worshipping cult. The corruption has twisted their minds, where they no longer act or behave as moral entities of the galaxy, but rather cultists who worship and follow Darth Bellum and his desire to engulf the entire Galaxy in conflict.
  • | Zealotry | Even if members of the 13th Legion had not undergone the ritual to become subordinate to a Sith Battlelord, they have been mentally reforged and driven to extreme lengths of both loyalty and aggression to their leader. This zealotry extends beyond simple who is in 'charge' whether it is the Sith Empire or the New Imperial Order, any threat or insult directed towards their leader can be treated as an open act of aggression the legion as a whole, thus heavily increasing the potential for infighting amongst friendlies.
  • | Brute Force | While the 13th Legion is more than capable of utilizing advanced strategies and maneuvers to take enemies off guard, it has been shown throughout numerous engagements that they will more often than not take a head-on, brute force approach, relying on their superior combat skills and defensive equipment to keep them alive. This can prove detrimental to them should the enemy have a solid defensive position in which they can hold and rival the 13th Legions firepower and equipment.

HISTORICAL INFORMATION
The 13th Legion, also nicknamed the Warmaster's Wrath was once recognized as one of the more distinguished legions that served under the Sith Empire, under the name of the Red Legion that has served faithfully under Kor Vexen, both during his reign as the Sith Empire's head of the military and following his defection to the New Imperial Order. They are loyal and faithful soldiers that willingly choose to follow the Anzati Sith due to both his capability to command as well as his near Jedi like attitude and treatment of his own troops. They respect his command and authority with utmost confidence, with many owing their lives to his timely appearance on the field to lead the charge personally.
The 13th Legion drew its members from the best of the best during their service under the Sith Empire, the equivalent of ARC troopers to the Grand Army of the Republic or other Special Forces equivalents throughout galactic history. Taking those with already impressive service records and peak physical attributes, the training program to convert them into Dragoons was thorough and extensive, pushing them beyond their limits in order to sharpen and refine them into the best soldiers that the Sith Empire had at its disposal.
Historically, the 13th Legion has a near-flawless service record on the battlefront, leading the charge and breaking sieges with their combat prowess and skills. Not a single city or planet has proven to hold back a charge headed by the 13th Legion, both during the service of the Sith Empire or under the New Imperial Order. Before, the 13th Legion was distinguished for its reliance on maneuver warfare, utilizing high mobility and rapid assaults to take the enemy by surprise and overwhelm defensive positions.
The 13th Legion has played a hand in every major conflict that the New Imperial Order had participated in during Kor Vexen's career as their Warmaster, the last known conflict they participated in as soldiers of the New Imperial Order being the Battle of Bastion where the New Imperial Order seized the planet from the clutches of the Sith Empire. Rather than follow the order given by the Sovereign Imperator Irveric Tavlar Irveric Tavlar in the form of Operation Kyber Dark, the 13th Legion stood by their deathless leader, and defied all that challenged their loyalty and faith in their general.
Since the Battle of Bastion, all members of the 13th Legion have been listed as Missing in Action, from those directly at Kor Vexen's side prior to his death to those that were stationed aboard The Shadowbringer and everywhere else. Unbeknownst to many, Kor Vexen had sent the 13th Legion to Otherspace, having torn open pocket rifts with the use of the Shadow's Folly. Since the first incursion against Bastion, the 13th Legion have spent their time further honing their skills and ferocity against the terrors of Otherspace, only strengthening their resolve and commitment to their lord and commander.
