Jihad
The Second Legion is the only Vegan regiment to survive the Jihad. Early in 3076 the Second was transferred to Kimball III. There they defended the DropShip production plants on the world from several Word of Blake Shadow Divisions. Though the Second Legion drove the Blakists off-world, they suffered serious losses and were unable to stop the Blakists from raiding a Star League warehouse.[4]
Officers
- 3025, the commanding officer was General Michael Heise.[citation needed]
- 3052 to 3067, the commanding officer was Tai-sa Tikov Recardni[2][1][5].
Tactics
The 2nd is forced to fight with inferior equipment, so prefers to fight at point-blank range. They excel in urban and mountainous terrain.[1]
