History
Brion's Legacy was the second regiment of the Brion's Legion, created after the unit's stationing in Terra under ComStar contract.
The Second Regiment was assigned at the beginning of the Jihad as a reserve to the Bolan Province. Stationed on Bolan, the mercs had difficulty calming the situation down. After losing some units to ambushes the command increased their cooperation with the local leader. This events led to the rumors of their being the "pet" mercs of the planetary leader.[1] When the Fifty-second Shadow Division struck at Bolan on 17 February 3074, the defending Second Regiment was shattered and Bolan City razed.[2][3]
