Assult Legions

An Assault Legion is a term for the elite legions in The Thoria Empire. These legions are built, designed, and trained for the sole purpose of attacking while Arminium Leigons are those who support them or defend the planets that the Assault Legions. This dichotomy has the benefit of the assault legions being superior in quality than the defending Legions, added upon their already superior quality, however, The Thoria Empire has always found itself outnumbered on the battlefield.
While 'Assault Legions' may be a Thorian term it is not exclusive to The Thorian Military. A prime example of a foreign equivalent to the Assault legion are The Thoria Republic's Equistrian Legions, which were mere imitations of The Thoria empire's being that the traitor province didn't have the resources nor time to deviate from The Thoria Military's golden child. Other Examples of similar forces are the Deimarchs from The Great Warbands, or the endless Servitorium Legions of The Gramish Techno-Theocracy.
Ultimately every power in the universe has some form of an Assault legion, being the most numerous elite of that power, with the only exception being the endless and unordered hoards of The Synthetic Voltors.
It is generally accepted that the concept of an elite force of soldiers whom descend into the most hellish of battlefields is not a human concept, nor is it alien in design. Instead it is more accepted that it is just a reality of warfare, with even the most pacifistic powers forming Assault Legions of their own, even if it is for defense.

=== Legion Training ===
A legions training varies wildly, for example Legio Mors has absolutely no training whatsoever solely relying on the criminals natural abilities to fight and kill. On the other side of the spectrum a legion such as Legio Volcanum is highly specialized and trained to fight on inhospitable worlds of such heat that any other would quickly fall. Additionally there is a innate advantage to the galactic powers who use robotics on a large scale such as The Synthetic Voltors who can simply program advanced skills into their robot hordes. 
=== Legion Size ===
The size of legions wildly vary from one power to the next. For example The Thoria Empire holds legions with a average size of 100 million, while The Synthetic Voltors's legions could hold trillions of cheaply made battle robots. Additionally a power may have legions that have vastly different sizes, The Thoria Empire has a standardized 100 million, however, there is Legio Mors which is billions strong; The Synthetic Voltors, however, have an uncountable amount of legions that hold trillions with an small amount of legions that hold mere millions of more expensive robots.
=== Legion Equipment ===
Like the training and size of a legion its equipment is varied to the extremes. Equipment also varies inside the legion with the average Thorian Legion will be equipped with dozens of different battle tanks, walkers, and mechs of varying size. furthermore a soldier in a Thorian Assualt Legion is given a list of three main combat weapons which further complicates the question of how a legion is equipped. Generally a Thorian Legion is the most well equipped with a very standardized list of available equipment and vehicles, however, powers such as The Great Yimarus Warbands being a absolute opposite with the warbands having a very diverse catalogue of thousands of rifles and vehicles.
