Legio Mors

Category:Unfinished
'You can no longer commit crime, not on any imperial world of any status or reason, you, however, can on worlds not accepting of the imperial flag and banner, No offense no matter how numerous or terrible will be persecuted in any way as long as imperial citizens may plant a flag upon the soil'- Gredia the Original declaring the existence of a legion comprised of criminals.While Legio Crimino has undoubtedly Brutal Tactics it is easily beaten by the Legio Mors, Corporal punishment for all is common with skinning and torture even more so, most worlds that even hear of Legio Mors entering their region will either surrender or leave a dusty ghost world in their wake of desperately fleeing. Exempt from Military and Civil Law along with the fact that most all of them are bloodthirsty Criminals who rape and pillage every world they touch, they are the most universally hated legion with most other assault legions refusing to work together. 
Originally they were a soldier Legion, however, after the expansion of the empire, crime became commonplace so emperor Gredia The Original made it other peoples problems with a simple decree. it got rid of the crime, allowed for easier capture of enemy worlds, and allowed for an easy excuse to kill them if they fail, it was a genius idea, such pardons happened in the billions making Legio Mors a special case as its the biggest of the Assualt legions however it is completely unstructured.
Legio Mors is the single biggest legion in the empire, being billions strong in war time and tens of billions strong outside of war. While uncommon a criminal can opt to go to Corrdikar, the legion's ancestral home, instead of one of the many imperial penal colonies. After a prisoner declares their intent to join they will be placed elsewhere to wait for Legio Mors's Black ships who roam the imperium's many prisons for recruits. Many quickly come to regret their decision of joining the legion due to their brutal and bloodthirsty culture with crime rampant on Corridkar, due to no policing. 
During any campaign they will suffer enormous casualties; deliberate friendly fire, hoard tactics, lack of armor and heavy shock divisions, among other reasons almost dictate that they will suffer under the fires of war. Yet billions would still join the legion every month because there is no crime in Legio Mors, rape, pillage, and murder are all allowed, Thus it is only the truly nauseating and insipid people that would rather join Legio Mors instead of toiling their sins away in a mine or lumber yard.
