 ==History==
-===Formation===
+Built in 3043 from veterans of the [[Defenders of Andurien]].
-The '''Second Free Worlds Legionnaires''' was built in [[3043]]. A large portion of the unit came from applicants who wanted to be a part of the Legionnaires after the impassioned defense of [[Suzano]] by the [[First Free Worlds Legionnaires]], though the core of the unit came from veterans of the [[Defenders of Andurien]]. <ref name=FMFWL37>''Field Manual: Free Worlds League'', p. 37, "2nd Free Worlds Legionnaires Unit Profile"</ref>
-The unit's first deployment was to [[Al Jubaylah]]. There, they assisted in restoring order after a popular religious leader was assassinated. Though they only faced two regiments of [[infantry]] and a mercenary [[BattleMech]] company under the command of a rebel general, the Second acquitted itself well. Casualties were light, even after storming a pair of fortifications.<ref name=FMFWL37/>
-After that campaign, they were rotated to [[Sadurni]] to assist in the defense of the [[Duchy of Andurien]]. They took on pirate hunting duties, which included destroying the band known as the [[Magnates]]. <ref name=FMFWL37/> They were still based on Sadurni as of [[3050]].<ref name=20YU56a>''20 Year Update'', p. 56, "AFFC Deployment Table - 3050"</ref>
-===Jihad===
-In [[3072]] the Second Legion redeployed to [[Atreus (FWL)|Atreus]] to fight the remains of the [[2nd Knights of the Inner Sphere]]. Though they had received a great deal of upgrades and new equipment, the Knights eluded them for several years. Eventually, however, the 2nd and [[8th Free Worlds Legionnaires|8th Legion]] destroyed the few surviving Knights of the Inner Sphere. <ref>''Jihad Turning Points: Atreus'', pp. 6-7, 13</ref> Shortly thereafter, the 2nd and 8th Legions unleashed years of pent-up fury on the [[Word of Blake]]'s [[30th Division (Word of Blake)|30th Division]], destroying the unit completely on Atreus. <ref>''Jihad Turning Points: Atreus'', p. 14</ref>
-After the fall of the [[Free Worlds League]] the Second Legion pledged to follow [[Thomas Halas]] to the [[Marik Commonwealth]]. They remain one of the small realm's most skilled military units. They took up station on [[Keystone]].<ref name=frfwl8>''Field Report: FWLM'', p. 8</ref>
-The Stygians spent most of the [[Jihad]] guarding [[Corinne Marik]]. After that they garrisoned [[Marik]] for several years, but their strength allowed the Army of the Marik-Stewart Commonwealth commanders to redeploy the Stygians to [[New Olympia]]. There they garrisoned the world and took part in the cleanup of radioactive materials and the restoration of the capital city's power grid. This didn't take long, and the Second Legion is still in place in order to deter raids by the [[Principality of Regulus]].<ref>''Field Manual: 3085'', p. 81</ref>
-===Dark Age===
-After [[Clan Wolf|Clan Wolf's]] invasion of the newly-resurrected Free Worlds League, many commands were heavily damaged. The survivors of these units joined the Second Free Worlds Legionnaires on [[New Olympia]]. However, by [[3145]] the Second itself no longer appeared on any state's TO&E, indicating that it had been destroyed or disbanded by then.<ref>''Technical Readout: 3145 Free Worlds League'', p. 18</ref> <ref>''Field Manual: 3145'', unit does not appear anywhere in the text</ref>
