Mercury Legion

## Summary

The Mercury Legion is a imperial military faction derived from the nation of Armeli. Having separated from its former government, its main goal was to invade and take control of the neighboring nation of Decholon. Headed by military Captain Jack Kendall, he would gain followers with his charisma and hiring of mercenaries and bounty hunters alike.

## History

The main military subdivision of the AECMU. Jack Kendall and his forces were tasked with the mission of invading Decholon for its Dechalus energy source so that the nation could not surpass them in the economic market. Their invasion, however, ignited a war that was built up on growing tensions between the Decholonian and Armeli peoples. They were able to invade and oppress the island, as well as steal a handful of their own Garrisai which further accelerated their invasion of other countries. They even developed their own line of mass-production models that put them far ahead developmentally than the former LCDM.

### Invasion of Decholon Article

Jack was originally heading to Decholon to provide defensive measures for the island, as were many of the other naval divisions. However, after he and his crew discovered a resource that could be helping the people of Armeli, he used his defensive warships to invade Decholon. The attack was a failure, due to the presence of Decholonian-improvised Garrisai, but upon his betrayal of Armeli and his return, he brought several Garrisai-Carrying Warships which ultimately won him the capture of the island. Despite all resource ties being cut between him and Armeli, he was able to survive through his resourcefulness in conquering Decholon.

### Handsome Betrayal Article

In the initiation of the Harbinger Uprising, Jack was sent to investigate a drop in Ichor Sales to the island of Decholon, but he finds that the island has discovered a new energy source which they have been using to supply themselves. He tells VEB that the Decholonian people are living the high life off of the profits of their resource sales, which consequently cost Armeli their own sales. Armeli had been plummeting into poverty since then, since it was their main source of reliable income. Then, Jack goes against his leader’s orders by attempting a forced invasion of Decholon, but it was effectively a failure on his part.

Jack was promptly punished for his crimes, but after a breakout headed by his loyal companions, he led an internal revolution in Armeli, leading to the death of VEB. Included in the breakout was a hired bounty hunter named Lena, his right hand man Ian, and his war advisor Daniel. Chelsea was still undergoing the NU METACOM testing at the time, while Miia was still a child. (Jack, Lena, Chelsea and Ian are late teenagers around this time). They were fed up with VEB’s peaceful method of solving the nation’s poverty, and they wanted to solve this matter faster. After taking over the AECMU, they revived the Garrisai kept in storage to be used on Decholon, who really only had the early Castel Units to defend themselves.

## Trivia

- The Mercury Legion was the final name of a long history of acronym-based names. Their first name was the ACET (Alliance of Combat Effectiveness and Technology), then AECMO (Alliance of Effective Combat and Military Organizations), then ECMU (Empire of Colonial Military Unions), ACM (Armeli Colonial Military) and finally the simplified Mercury Legion. AECMU (Armeli Empire of Colonial Military Unions) became the name of the Armeli Military Division.

- As to how the Mercury Legion received its name is currently unknown, though from what can be found, it is based on the astrological sign Mercury.
