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.
You know why you are here. You want to be one of us. Fine with us. It is your choice to become a Brigand, anything else does not matter. You may want it yourself, or you have no other choice. We will not lie to you. This life is not for everybody. Dangerous, difficult, trying to survive the next day....Are you ready for that? Are you ready to do anything to get what you want? Money, fame, power, adventure, luck, freedom? Who knows, maybe this life suits you. Maybe you will not die. Maybe you will get what you want. If you are a true Brigand, you will succeed. The money, the power, the fame. THE FREEDOM. Eventually, you may become a true Legionnaire...

These are our ways...
"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 it's remains, and keep it, if you were the lone hunter. If not, share. And don't forget to give the Legion it's 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.
[color=#FF0000]I was going to continue this adventure all by myself but then those sirians started to come in Gallia and I got a little... scared. I don't have enough information about them and I don't know what weapons they have and what they can do with them so... I started looking for some help and I won't lie to you when I say that the first ones I asked were the Council. However they were a bit angry when I told them what I do for a living. One of them even directed me to talk to the Maquis and I was like: "Merde! Je ne suis pas une terroriste!" And so... I came to you. Why did I choose you from all the brigand gangs? Maybe because some of you were once nobles... oui, you see, I like to think that I'm a princess myself... by the way, how's my hair?
Anyway, "You're own your own"... I know a little more Sirian than you and I just have to tell you it should be "You're ON your own" hehe, trust me on that. Oh and I like the idea. I was on my own my entire life.
"Keep what you kill" and I understand that the Legion needs money to keep the bases and all that. Agreed. "Your past does not matter" hehehe... All for it.
"Your life is your most worthful possession" This sentence is so true!
"Take from the rich or poor and give to yourself, or the poor" There are no poor people in Gallia. This should make our job a lot easier and nice, eh?
Now, who am I? How rude! I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Amelie Zacharie. I was born on Marne 17 years ago by my not-so-good mother, Monique Zacharie (who's also flying for the Council) and my idiot father, Frank Zacharie who decided to abandon us and run to Sirius. I also have a brother... no idea where he is or if he's even alive...
My skills? Skills... have you seen my hair?! Really... I can make any type of hair glow like fireworks.... Oh wait... you're asking about fighting skills and such? I'm afraid I am not that good in a fighter...
Now, what do I seek from joining you? Money and a place to lie low, what else... Oh and as a bonus, would be cool if I can get in the core of the Gallic systems... I never saw them.

Epernay Station. Champagne.
Christine Armand - Underlord
Subject: A place to lay low and some other things
*Medium encryption* So, we got the idea what you seek from us. However, I don't see what you can offer, apart from your hairdressing skills... *sighs* Bien, maybe we will find use of you. I'll get in touch with you on more secure channel.
Then you'll get the instructions how to reach Epernay Station.
I believe I have people on Marne who could get you to the station.
Or you can get there on your own, doesn't really matter.
At Epernay we shall talk about your wishes and... prospects.
C'est bien, n'est pas? Au revoir and expect the call.
P.S.: don't pay attention to my title, I am thinking of something better. Transmission Terminated

-"If we do not learn at least one thing a day....Our minds turn to stupor"- Kyle Sparrgrove -2005
My story is not really complicated'¦ In the past I was already fighting where I was born. Against so many people to get a reputation, to get a style, and also to survive. I decided to leave this place, I had my own reason. Instead of fighting again and again I preferred to explore and to understand the Sirius World. Hunting like an independent pirate, now it's time to find a place where people will accept me.
I saw how painful it is to see growing some factions. They think they have all rights to obtain what they seek. If something is resisting to them, they act like cold killers. This is not a world where I can find my own redemption. One day, someone wise told me 'If you want to make enemies, try to change something'. Nowadays I can't trust in anybody except real fighters. It's also a time of chaos and conspiracy where I can't afford to choose the wrong side. My aim is to become stronger and faster. I want to scared my enemies, when they'll all know my name, when they'll hear me tap on their window, they'll get on their knees and start to pray because they'll understand that Panic is on their way.
I already flew alone so many times; now it's time to join in a group where they'll teach me how to become a real problem for the others.
Let me introduce myself ; Ruby Malone, twenty-four years old, a young mademoiselle, with a strong personality. Born in the Arranmore base around the Dublin system. A dragon's born, I'm a real rebel as my parents known as Sebastian Malone and Diane Lacroix.
My skills are, good in certain ship class, and awful in others ship class, I need several simulation to get a perfect style. But at least I'm a real help for the teamwork. This is probably why I am so special.
What do I seek from joining you is'¦ to become the most popular nightmare for everything.
So, another Sirian who wishes to join us? Actually, no matter what your origins are, we always need someone who gets the job done.
And judging by your message, you seem to be of that kind.
I'm impressed. If you work at least half as good as you talk, you'll make a Brigand. So, we'll be expecting you. If you are ready to join us, I can advise you to come to Narbonne base in Languedoc system.
There you'll be able to get a ship and we'll welcome you as a Brigand. Further discussion will also be conducted there.
Why i ask you? With mon main talent, jailbraking and cutting down security systems I can only make two things. Go to a security company, not really un option for moi, and ask you. For making honor to mon family I ask you. When you agree I'm in le 3rd generation of our family in this "bussines".
My fighter/Bomber skills are good. In the last 5 years I had to fight and run to avoid le death after brake into some stations and ships to get a little money for me and ma Grandma. It is not easy to survive in these times.
Au revoir mes possible new amis. I'm looking forward to hearing from you.
Your origins and skills are indeed in favour for you. Aswell as your experience in our business.
If that what you say is true, you will fit very well as a Brigand...indeed, I think you have the talent that we need here.
You are expected on Marne, district Val-de-Marne, rue Bleue. Someone will contact you there. Further discussion will be held there, we await you.
