The use of the "Legion of Man" is due to the unification of all the tribes of man during the Unification Campaign making them into one Legion.

## History

### Pre-History

Long before any settlements were built there was a tribe living in the mountains, known as the Southern Mountain Tribe. Their culture was based on war and battle, often fighting with other tribes or even with each other. The tribesmen were easy to anger often fighting one another over food and livestock.

The elders of the tribes were growing tired of the fighting between their tribespeople and decided that unification was the answer. In later years this one large tribe was known as The South Legion, possessing large amounts of weaponry and soldiers.

#### The South Legion

The South Legion was the first form of Norvistch. It lasted for decades with the legion making economic and technological strides. The South Legion was lead by a man named Raven. He was the mightiest most skilled soldier among them, he ruled with an iron fist leading the legion with glory and honour.

But Raven was corrupted by greed and power. Causing him to betray The South Legion, leading to war.

#### The Unification Campaign

After raven's betrayal, The South Legion was divided. Having different ideologies and different views, all wanting different things. Hundreds died, all for nothing in the end.

A mighty soldier stood up in all the chaos, he had a mission to unite the tribes once more, to rebuild their mighty legion. His name was Caliban, with his followers he would fight for his cause, killing his foes in the name of unity. Battle after battle, he would win with his highly trained soldiers. Any of the weak would die only the strongest to survive.

Finally, the tribes were united once more. After this a new name for the unified tribes came, taking inspiration from the old name they became the Legion of Man. Soon later to be known as the Norvistch Legion of Man.

### Founding of Hemington

#### Background

After many years of growth, the Legion of Man was curious about the world around them and were willing to send out explorers to scout the untamed desert around them. Soon setting up a port in the south called Port Eliza to soon explore the seas. One explorer would do exactly this, his name was Charles David Hemington.

#### The voyage

After many years of preparations for the voyage ahead, a fleet of 4 ships was assembled and set sail to the south. The voyage was uneventful with the largest danger being rocks and other objects sticking out of the water. Otherwise, the 4 ships were mapping the area even seeing some native populations along coasts.

#### Driminian Massacre

A completely false event currently kept alive by the communist state of Legundi and the democratic republic of Katahou

## Military

The Norvistch military is one with the greatest number of military personnel. This branch of the government is known as the Astra Militarum, which controls other branches such as; Imperial Troops, Legion Noratus and the Gothic Fleet.

### Imperial Troops

The Imperial Troops of the Norvistch army are your regular troops of any army, the main infantry. In most engagements, they would be the first to be sent to deal with any issues with the Legio Noratus supporting if things get out of hand with the help of the Gothic Fleet if necessary.

The recruitment process of these troops is fairly standard, with citizens going to a recruitment centre and signing up to join. Then being trained to the requirements needed by the Astra Militarum.

### Legio Noratus

The Legio Noratus are Norvistch's greatest warriors. They are highly trained to face almost any challenge that faces them. These are no ordinary people, these are genetically built warriors designed to die till their last breath.

They what other nations would call special forces and they would only have a select few to be part of it. But in the Norvistch army, we try to have as many troops in the Legio Noratus as possible. Which gives us a strong fighting force that is hard to take down.

### Gothic Fleet

The Gothic Fleet is the navy and airforce of Norvistch and is often called The Imperial Navy/Fleet. The ships are built using unorthodox methods, using plasma engines to move them forward and to keep them in the air. These engines never need refuelling as plasma is so easy to create that it is done onboard each ship(Making then impervious to EMP explosives)

The main armaments of these ships are their plasma cannons which as the name implies, shoots highly concentrated plasma energy towards the target.
