Hurian Penal Legions

The Hurian Penal Legions (HPL) are a military force of Huria, charged with filling the offensive roles of the military. It is made up of criminals, traitors, cowards, and disgraced military personnel, who fight for a chance to redeem themselves, and rejoin their brothers and sisters. Though it receives less funding, and gets all of Huria's second-hand military equipment, it has proved its worth time and time again, prevailing where it was believed it would fail. It is under the command of the central Hurian Armed Forces. The current commander is Mwendesha Naja Barre.
The government, despite the HPL's successes, seeks to destroy the HPL, but do so in such a manner that it gains something from the suicidal missions the HPL is constantly thrown into. It numbers some 106,214 active soldiers, but this estimate is unreliable, as the War Council of Huria has never cared enough to actually take a head count of the force due its the fluctuating numbers. Despite the lack of funding and modern equipment, the training of the HPL is superb, allowing the force to punch far beyond its misleading appearances.
