History[edit]

Brion's Legacy was the second regiment of the Brion's Legion, created after the unit's service on 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]

Tactics[edit]

In contrast to its sister regiment, the Second uses a two-step battle plan. First: use long-range weapons to soften the enemy before Second use your mobility to get in to close quarters and finish the engagement quickly. The mercenaries try to capture as much salvage as possible. The command is also known to set ambushes, building false units from scrap with bogus radio traffic as diversionary tactics.[4]
