Legion des Damnes, or just Les Damnes (as some prefer to call them) are a legion of criminals, united for one primary goal: gaining profit by almost any means necessary. They are the most powerful Brigands, controlling and influencing every Brigand Space.
  
 +
The Legion itself consists of people with different origins. Freelancers, Traders, Ex-Navy, all united under the same flag, making Gallia and the upper part of Sirius unsafe.

The [[LE]] is a military group that’s based off the [[Gallic Royal Navy]]. While it became famous in the last few years, the Legion is nearly as ancient as the Navy itself. Being the elite group of the Navy, it’s mainly deployed against the most dangerous enemies of the throne, at the Gallic Borders. While it is led independently by the Lord Mareshal, he still responds to the King and the Legion can also be deployed against threats in the core worlds. Their base of operation is basically whole Gallia, and the Lord Mareshal only takes orders from the King himself and the Grand Mareshal herself.
+
==History of the Legion des Damnes==
  
−
Although until now, no attacks against Sirian people were made, King Charles XI regards the Legion as his ace against anyone, anytime, anywhere. The men and women who have the luck to be a part of the Legion are handpicked by the highest members from all over Gallia and are generally considered to be one of the best pilots, having both excellent physical as well as mental skills.
+
The former members of the Royal Navy group Legion des Damnes successfully escaped the clutches of the GRN, but suffered heavy losses in doing so. A once proud hundred thousand men and women was whittled down to two thousand in a single day.  
  
−
As the Gallic Borders have been recently opened by the Council, the King needed more backup and thus has elected a new, more-capable Lord Mareshal. Although he’s younger than most of his predecessors, the King sees him as the Chosen One of Gallia. His name is [[Enzo du Sable]].
+
Struggling to escape with what they had left, the Legionnaires regrouped deep inside the Nievre asteroid field, with brave pilots fighting swarms of GRN ships, to buy the time needed for the Grande Guillotine, to escape.
  
−
==History of the Legion of the Damned==
+
With few options, and the GRN closing in on them quickly, due to damage caused to the Guillotines engines, the Legionnaires set a course for Montbard base, their only salvation. Intending to assault and capture the base, despite the impossibility of the task with their weakened forces.
  
 +
However, the Legionnaires did not send in an all out reckless assault. Tactics and skill were in their blood, and because of that, there remained a slim hope that they would survive the coming battle.
  
 +
In the end, unforeseen circumstances intervened. Certain Brigand elements aboard the base, who were assisting in the co-ordination of the defence, enacted a plan that would, if successful, allow both sides to survive against the GRN fleet coming in to wipe out the remains of the legion forces.
  
−
As mentioned before, the [[LE]] was based off the original Gallic Navy, but was founded later in 99 A.G.S., 13 years after the landing on New Paris. To understand why it was even founded we must take a look at the situation going on at that time. Millions of Gallic people of all classes were trying to build a new life on a never before seen or known planet. They were all depressed and disappointed by their former Alliance partners who made them not worthy of having an own sleeper ship. Thus, many conflicts began to raid between the people and the crime rate increased dramatically. Each day new rogue groups were founded to unleash terror upon humble citizens. It was that time of chaos when Queen Madeleine chose one man out of his people to solve this situation once and for all. He was known as Comte Andre Le Benevole (Lord Andre the Helper). It was during those darkest times when the first ideology and principes of the Legion were created. Andre believed that every man and woman has to be valued by what he/she can do for a certain purpose, no matter what origins or beliefs he/she has. And so, he made up a small squad of loyal men, and the fundament for the Legion has been set. He and his men were travelling from town to town, from village to village and from fields to fields to unite the people to believe in Gallia and the Queen. Those who did not agree to this were simply executed infront of everyone. That’s how he managed to unite even rogues with merchants and humble citizens to create the “perfect” population, although under heavy military surveillance. After their great success on New Paris, the Queen ordered them to the recently colonized Planet Lyonnais, where under-paid workers were striking and damaging the whole colonization process.Back then, they were called "The Damned Ones", as most men in this squad were damned to death. So, they arrived and, with most of the workers back to their contruction sites, within 3 months the colonization could start again. Queen Madeleine was so delighted by their success that she finally created “The Damned Legion”. However, one day before the official foundation of the Legion, Andre was murdered silently and thus a new leader had to be elected. It was a man named Leon du Sable, one of the very early relatives of the current leader Enzo. A great nubmer of people, from every part of Gallia joined, and it really became a Legion. Most of them were simple commoners, but a great number of former prisoners and criminals have also been recruit by Leon, in accordance with the main ideology of the Legion. Those men have either been damned to death in their former life, or are now damned to death (again), as they would be sent to the most dangerous missions, also "suicide-missions", long time before the Navy would finally arrive, if it even arrives.
+
The plan was successful. Depending on your view of successful. Montbard still stands, despite heavy damage. The Legionnaires survived, despite heavy losses. And the Royalist fleet was tricked into turning back, preventing the complete destruction of either sides forces.
  
−
The exact date of the foundation of the Legion was 104 A.G.S. After the death of the Queen, the newly-ascended King Josef grants the Legion pure independence as military group (they still have to respond to the King). The goal has been finally reached, and Leon started a total overhaul of the Legion, including ranks and members, and those rules by him have hardly changed even until our date today. As time passed on and new planets were discovered and inhabitated, the Legion stepped more and more into the shadows, finally becoming unknown to the majority of the Gaulois. During the Golden Age they completely vanished from the surface, heavily operating in the background. Everything was running perfectly for Gallia: The cities were flourishing, the wealth was rising, the population was happy, politicians were fair and crime and corruption was too low to be dangerous. And all that while the Legion was controlling from the background, undetected by their clever methods: Members of the Legion could not be percieved as law-enforcers; they were dressed as usual citizens, did the same as usual citizens and acted like them. People all around Gallia didn’t notice those hidden agents around them, so that they acted as they were not under surveillance, and exactly that was the source of the Legion’s success. If incidents amongst civilians happened, they reacted quickly as law-enforcers; much more quickly than the actual police, solved the problem and then stepped back into the shadows before the police even reached the location. Of course this was not always the case, but it was enough to keep greater incidents from happening and rogues from uniting to a bigger group. That was the real secret behind the Golden Age of Gallia.
+
However, there were unexpected effects of these facts. The Legion changed. It still stands strong, but now, the surviving Legionnaires fly more for themselves than for a common goal. They still understand teamwork, and the bonds they forged together so long on the battlefield.
  
−
In the Dark Ages however, things were starting to get worse, as some politicians started to get corrupt and throw critics at the King. Most of these politicians were liberal, and most of them were those who would later join the Council. As it was much harder to hide the murdering of greater numbers of politicians, the Legion tried to place their agents to keep the majority of Gallics from listening to the Liberals, leaving the actual assassination a matter of the Royal Assassins. But as they failed, the politicians gained more and more admirers and later finally created the Council (720 A.S.). This was the time when the Legion has first suffered a loss in over 700 years; it was their first and last loss. King Louis IV disbanded the Legion and called all members into the Navy to aid for the upcoming civil war. With the Council gaining more and more influence over the Gallic population, their power was finally so big that they declared war in 794 A.S. The war started and the Council gained control of the two border system, Champagne and Languedoc. When the Council finished their way through the minefield to Orkney and thus opening Gallia to whole Sirius, King Charles XI needed a new ace in his hands to eliminate any remaining traitors. He knew his only hope to ban these unworthy scum was to recreate the Legion, which was disbanded from 720-816 A.S.
+
But now they have turned to a life of crime. Won over by the destruction of their lives, and their time on Epernay with the Brigands instead of fighting for the crown, they steal for themselves. Instead of boasting about their skills as pilots and warriors, they instead brag about their latest spoils.
  
−
King Charles XI called in the only descendant of Leon du Sable, the man who had the most success wtih the Legion and made it so papoular that it was engraved in the Gallic history.
+
They themselves have become Brigands. United, as other small gangs of Brigands are, by their lifetime of working together, they steal and smuggle as one, fighting for the best spoils from a lonely tradesman, or fighting for dominance over each other.
−
The last du Sable was a young man named Enzo who, when the Royal Searchers found him, was in a club in the Gallic underground on New Paris, living the life of a street gang leader. That’s how the leader of a small mobster gang became Lord Mareshal. When Enzo asked the King why he chose him over his most feared Lords, he answered: “It was a du Sable who made the Legion what it was, and it will be a du Sable who will make the Legion os the Damned what it will be.” Enzo swore infinte allegiance to the crown and the King and was finally granted the highest rank of the Legion. Before the King gave him orders, he passed him the Bible of the Legion and the Blade of the Legion. As the nomination finally ended, the King published his orders to the Legion:.
 
  
−
==Objectives==
+
But they have survived. Now, they started every kind of illicit business - to regain their once lost proud power. The first months were hard, as there was no clear Brigang group with enough influence to keep peace amongst them.
  
 +
Chaos, everywhere. Gang wars. Everyone wanted to be the best, everyone wanted to "rule" the Brigands. There were no rules, the winner was the one who killed all the others.
  
 +
Amongst those groups, the Legion has risen, slowly but surely. Deals with Sirian factions and clever tactics brought the Legion's enemies to their knees, making it the most powerful Brigand force. It all ended when the Legion's Lord, the well-known Enzo du Sable, defeated the last hostile gang boss.
  
 +
Since then, the Legion has steadily risen, having more power and influence over Gallia, aswell as the edges of Sirian space, with each passing day. The Legion has become a symbol of proudness for it's allies, and a symbol of terror for it's enemies. They are coming to take what they want...
  
−
* Deploy a large amount of forces against Gallic unlwafuls ([[Council]], [[Maquis]], Brigands, pirates...) at the borders and eliminate their presence. Furhermore, the Legion has to deploy hidden agents in the rank of the [[Junkers]] as the King still has doubts about their intentions in Gallia.
+
They are the Legion des Damnes.
  
−
* Protect [[Gallia]] with every effort possible and eliminate any Gallic enemies of the throne
+
==Objectives==
−
* Eliminate any Sirians wanting to damage Gallia in any way and keep Gallia clean of Sirian influences
 
−
* Actively be ready to hunt down Sirians when the order will be given
 
−
* Maintain an outer-Gallic presence all the time to ensure the ultimate safety of Gallia from Sirian attacks, when the order will be given
 
  
 +
* Higher influence over Gallia and Sirius
 +
* Smuggling, pirating, deals, extortion
 +
* Finding Sirian allies and partners and expanding into Sirius
 +
* Pure and simple: Le Profit
  
−
After Enzo read the Legion’s Bible, he gave their main ideology a new sense. The most important rule of the Legion is: “Every man and woman has to be valued by what he/she can do for a certain purpose, no matter what origins or beliefs he/she has.”
+
Enzo du Sable, the leader of the group, follows one simple rule: “Every man and woman has to be valued by what he/she can do for a certain purpose, no matter what origins or beliefs he/she has.” That attitude is common among the Brigands.
  
 +
This is why people of many origins form the gang. Some may seek refuge, others may look for adventures. Many people are attracted by the romantic aura surrounding the Brigands in general. And many of them come because they want to make money easily. The gang accepts all, if they’re have what it takes to get our job done.
  
−
This is why most Legionnaires are former criminals/prisoners. Most of them simply join the Legion because else, they would be executed. Of course, as Legionnaires they are also damned to death, but not at a fixed date. Most of them choose this way because they can live on, regardless of the fact that it's a very brutal and hard life. This is why, in the Legionnaire Initiation Ritual, a small portion of unknown poison is injected onto the body. Technically it serves as a substance to locate the Legionnaires, whereever they are, as some of them could turn their backs on the Navy and become criminal again, so it's a security method. But the primary sense of this injection is the acceptance of death. Who does not accept that will be killed on spot. Of course, not many survive the poison and die aswell, but those who do survive become true Legionnaires, that have already faced death and don't have to worry about dying "again".

==The Ways of a Legionnaire==
  
−
==Current Legion==
+
*"You're on your own"
 +
Don't expect anyone to hold his hand in the fire for you. We stand together, but that does not mean we have to take on the problems of one another. Don't expect anyone to sacrifice himself for you.
  
−
* 1% Nobles
+
*"Keep what you kill"
−
* 4% Fallen Nobles
+
Hunt down your prey, loot from its remains, and keep it, if you were the lone hunter. If not, share. And don't forget to give the Legion its rightful share for keeping you. (10%)
−
* 15% Former Navy
 
−
* 30% Commoners
 
−
* 40% Former Prisoners/Criminals
 
  
−
all that at a survival rate of the Initiation Ritual at an average of 78.9 per cent.
+
*"Your past does not matter"
 +
Once you become a Brigand, your past does not matter. You are here to pursue your goals, whatever they are. You are here amongst other like you, either volunatarily or forced....
  
 +
*"Your life is your most worthful possession"
 +
Don't risk your life for anyone, or anything. If you are overwhelmed by enemies, you can run. As Brigand, you don't have to die for a worthless belief, if it is not your own.
  
 +
*"Take from the rich or poor and give to yourself, or the poor"
 +
Take l'argent from anyone you want and do whatever you want with it. We don't have to be les Robin Hoods of Gallia.

Basic Information

Legion des Damnes, or just Les Damnes (as some prefer to call them) are a legion of criminals, united for one primary goal: gaining profit by almost any means necessary. They are the most powerful Brigands, controlling and influencing every Brigand Space.

The Legion itself consists of people with different origins. Freelancers, Traders, Ex-Navy, all united under the same flag, making Gallia and the upper part of Sirius unsafe.

History of the Legion des Damnes

The former members of the Royal Navy group Legion des Damnes successfully escaped the clutches of the GRN, but suffered heavy losses in doing so. A once proud hundred thousand men and women was whittled down to two thousand in a single day.

Struggling to escape with what they had left, the Legionnaires regrouped deep inside the Nievre asteroid field, with brave pilots fighting swarms of GRN ships, to buy the time needed for the Grande Guillotine, to escape.

With few options, and the GRN closing in on them quickly, due to damage caused to the Guillotines engines, the Legionnaires set a course for Montbard base, their only salvation. Intending to assault and capture the base, despite the impossibility of the task with their weakened forces.

However, the Legionnaires did not send in an all out reckless assault. Tactics and skill were in their blood, and because of that, there remained a slim hope that they would survive the coming battle.

In the end, unforeseen circumstances intervened. Certain Brigand elements aboard the base, who were assisting in the co-ordination of the defence, enacted a plan that would, if successful, allow both sides to survive against the GRN fleet coming in to wipe out the remains of the legion forces.

The plan was successful. Depending on your view of successful. Montbard still stands, despite heavy damage. The Legionnaires survived, despite heavy losses. And the Royalist fleet was tricked into turning back, preventing the complete destruction of either sides forces.

However, there were unexpected effects of these facts. The Legion changed. It still stands strong, but now, the surviving Legionnaires fly more for themselves than for a common goal. They still understand teamwork, and the bonds they forged together so long on the battlefield.

But now they have turned to a life of crime. Won over by the destruction of their lives, and their time on Epernay with the Brigands instead of fighting for the crown, they steal for themselves. Instead of boasting about their skills as pilots and warriors, they instead brag about their latest spoils.

They themselves have become Brigands. United, as other small gangs of Brigands are, by their lifetime of working together, they steal and smuggle as one, fighting for the best spoils from a lonely tradesman, or fighting for dominance over each other.

But they have survived. Now, they started every kind of illicit business - to regain their once lost proud power. The first months were hard, as there was no clear Brigang group with enough influence to keep peace amongst them.

Chaos, everywhere. Gang wars. Everyone wanted to be the best, everyone wanted to "rule" the Brigands. There were no rules, the winner was the one who killed all the others.

Amongst those groups, the Legion has risen, slowly but surely. Deals with Sirian factions and clever tactics brought the Legion's enemies to their knees, making it the most powerful Brigand force. It all ended when the Legion's Lord, the well-known Enzo du Sable, defeated the last hostile gang boss.

Since then, the Legion has steadily risen, having more power and influence over Gallia, aswell as the edges of Sirian space, with each passing day. The Legion has become a symbol of proudness for it's allies, and a symbol of terror for it's enemies. They are coming to take what they want...

They are the Legion des Damnes.

Objectives

  • Higher influence over Gallia and Sirius
  • Smuggling, pirating, deals, extortion
  • Finding Sirian allies and partners and expanding into Sirius
  • Pure and simple: Le Profit

Enzo du Sable, the leader of the group, follows one simple rule: “Every man and woman has to be valued by what he/she can do for a certain purpose, no matter what origins or beliefs he/she has.” That attitude is common among the Brigands.

This is why people of many origins form the gang. Some may seek refuge, others may look for adventures. Many people are attracted by the romantic aura surrounding the Brigands in general. And many of them come because they want to make money easily. The gang accepts all, if they’re have what it takes to get our job done.

The Ways of a Legionnaire

  • "You're on your own"

Don't expect anyone to hold his hand in the fire for you. We stand together, but that does not mean we have to take on the problems of one another. Don't expect anyone to sacrifice himself for you.

  • "Keep what you kill"

Hunt down your prey, loot from its remains, and keep it, if you were the lone hunter. If not, share. And don't forget to give the Legion its rightful share for keeping you. (10%)

  • "Your past does not matter"

Once you become a Brigand, your past does not matter. You are here to pursue your goals, whatever they are. You are here amongst other like you, either volunatarily or forced....

  • "Your life is your most worthful possession"

Don't risk your life for anyone, or anything. If you are overwhelmed by enemies, you can run. As Brigand, you don't have to die for a worthless belief, if it is not your own.

  • "Take from the rich or poor and give to yourself, or the poor"

Take l'argent from anyone you want and do whatever you want with it. We don't have to be les Robin Hoods of Gallia.
