Iron Crusade

[Imperius Indomitus]

✠ I N D O M I T U S _ L E G I O N ✠

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​

✠ OVERVIEW ✠
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.

Founded with the edict of the Iron Protocols from the forces of Zakuul, Iokath and Imperial Remnant units, the Indomitus Legion now stands at the center of reconstituting the New Order and restoring Imperial Hegemony to the Galaxy in from of the Iron Empire. Under the leadership of Lord Indomitus they are relentless, ruthless and uncompromising in their ideals and goals.

• Unique Formations - The Indomitus Legion has several special layers of organisation embedded in its structures.
  • Shrouded Circle - The Shrouded Circle are the most trusted and loyal members of the Legion holding high ranks and are privy to all information, intelligence and goals the Legion has. They are utterly devoted to keeping them as well, especially those which are buried so deep inside the organisation that the mere notion of it could bring disaster upon them.
  • Shadow Circle - The Shadow Circle are those in the Legion that are entrusted to more information and secrets of the Legion, but not its deepest and darkest ones. They are proven in their loyalty and dedication and aspirants to the highest echelons of the Legion.
  • Hexaton- The Hexaton are the six grand Chambers of the Indomitus Knights of various combat specialisations. All Knights are excelling in at least one of them and are members of one.
    • Extremis Chamber - The Extremis Chamber are the best among the best of the Legion, elite warriors who have gone through fire and death for the Empire. They are a dedicated assault and strike formation that is deployed only to the most vital and challenging operations and battlefields or to turn the tide of a battle.
    • Terminus Chamber - The Terminus Chamber is responsible for nothing short of the end of every opposition, not mere defeat, it is about extermination. They sweep in with weapons beyond imagination that will make the most heroic adversaries vanish. They are executioners of civilisations, of worlds, lacking all subtlety and considered cold even for the Indomitus Knights standards.
    • Infernus Chamber - One of the two more battle oriented chambers, the Infernus Chamber excels at using the technology it has been giving to swiftly and decisively decide battles. With armored and artillery support, with droids, they are considered the more passive among the Chambers but have mastered the art of warfare.
    • Mortis Chamber - The enemies head is where a strife, a battle or a war is won and it is best to remove it. The Mortis Chamber specialises in assassination, espionage and intelligence. They are the shadow of death that approaches silently and kills, only to claim said victory for the Empire. While one of the most effective tools, it is also one with the highest mortality rate.
    • Tempestus Chamber - An Empire spans stars and the void between them is filled by nothing, a cold, silent grave. To master this vast emptiness is the duty of the Tempestus Chamber. They are ace pilots, excelling in dogfights, in swift raids and boarding actions.
    • Invictus Chamber - The Invictus Chamber is the most prominent and numerous among of the Indomitus Legion. They are the rank & file, the backbone on which the Legion bases its strength and the anvil upon which it breaks the enemies of the Empire.
