Crimson Legion

The Crimson is an independent faction established on Bespin after Derek Wren and Nathan Lee killed the Baron Administrator in his office in Cloud City. The Legion was so mischievous, that they played games with the Empire and distracted them as they moved into the core with their newly formed military to capture Coruscant and other surrounding worlds.

## History

### Taking Bespin

Derek Wren and Nathan's goal in the galaxy was to control the galaxy by using the war between the Empire and the Republic to their advantage. While gambling on Cloud City, Derek and Nathan were attacked by a denizen who was furious at them winning every game. They killed the man and were taken by the authorities to the Baron Administrators office. This would be his worst mistake as the two killed the man in his office while the guards were outside. Nathan and Derek claimed the city for themselves and no one challenged them as they were highly threatening.

On Bespin, Tibannopolis was fixed up and became the Ravager shipyard for Derek and Nathan. The shipyard was so advanced that entire corvettes could be constructed in a matter of days. The Crimson Legion was then formed officially with a flag and developing government. A new baron administrator was elected to watch over Cloud City while Nathan and Derek traveled to Geonosis for plans for the Legion.

### Taking Geonosis

Derek ordered a construction crew from Bespin to rebuild an abandoned droid factory on Geonosis which took about a month to reconstruct. The factory was a success and the Bespin Senate allowed for a city to be built on the planet which became an industrial city for the Crimson Legion to speed production of the ships even more as well as maintaining the factory. Several thousand battle droids were constructed in the factories that would later fight for Derek and Nathan.

### Battle of Coruscant

The battle of Coruscant was a brush of luck for the Crimson Legion as Derek and Nathan had told the Empire of the Rebel's whereabouts, which sent them away from Coruscant for several weeks. While their forces were weak, the Crimson Legion took out the forces in space and on the ground, claiming the core for themselves in the process as surrounding worlds fell under their rule. The Empire tried to fight back, but the Crimson Legion's numbers and tactics proved too powerful for their ships. Imperial soldiers started to leave the Empire and join the Legion and undergo special training on the worlds such as Anaxes and Coruscant itself.

### Treaty

The Empire, knowing the talent and power of the Legion, offered a peace treaty to combine both armies into one. Derek Wren, now the chief of state, accepted the offer. The Crimson Legion was now transformed into the Crimson Empire.

### Reign

The Crimson Legion ruled successfully with almost no opposition for a decade straight. The Rebel Alliance would occasionally fight against them from time to time taking out some of their facilities, but the Empire was just too powerful.

### Rule Failing

Almost 2 decades later, the Crimson Empire was suddenly attacked by the United Republic, who had been hiding in the unknown regions building a military while the rebels distracted the rest of the galaxy. The Republic hit the Crimson Empire hard in an unexpected turn of events. The Crimson Empire was heavily reduced in size from the ongoing war as well as their power of the galaxy. The Crimson Empire lost control of half of the galaxy, mostly operating in the outer rim.

In the battle of Bespin, the Crimson Empire's capital was liberated by the United Republic with the help of the Grey Jedi, Sparrow. With his immense power, Sparrow was able to defeat Derek Wren in combat, but Derek was able to escape just in time before he could be taken in by the Republic. With the victory at Cloud City, The Crimson Legion's order was thrown into chaos and continued to go to war with the Republic strategically. Several worlds became war zones for control in the process however and casualties were high. The galaxy became divided during this time. Some felt that the Crimson Legion was wrong and the Republic was who should be sided with, while others felt that

the Crimson Legion was the solution to peace.

During this war, Criminal organizations suffered heavily from the Crimson Legions rule. They heavily limited organizations in the outer rim's basic rights and they began to rebel against them. What they lacked in numbers they made up with firepower and allies. The still continue to not make a huge difference in the war, but the outer rim criminal organizations fight to be an independent power again and fight for their rights, no matter what side.
