The Sword Legion is one of the five Legion types developed by Neuron and usable within *ASTRAL CHAIN*. It is a melee-type Legion specializing in continuous attacks with the sword-like appendages on both arms. It is also the first Legion the player has access to.

## Appearance

The Sword Legion is a humanoid Legion with royal blue textured skin and armour-like plating on the arms, chest, face, shoulders and legs. The armour is primarily a very light grey with navy accenting lines, small areas of red painted on and luminescent green lines. The armour is branded with "POLICE" on the chest piece, back of the neck, right arm, and left leg, "NEURON" on the upper right chest, left arm, and right leg, and "SV-05" on the chest, inside of the knee, upper arm, left shoulder, and neck. There are four large pointed loops, one on each shoulder, one on the upper back and one coming back off the face, which seem to be purely aesthetic. The design of the armour is blade-like, with the arms shaped and functioning as swords and the tops of the lower leg armour appearing sharp. In the chest plate there is a triangular cavity for its bright blue core, which is the same colour as the glowing collar around its neck, the chains binding it to its user and often its eyes. The armour on its face comes to just above the eyes, mostly obscuring them; the eyes have been shown to glow either red or blue at different times.

## Gameplay

### Special Abilities

The Sword Legion can cut through energy waves to stun enemies, leaving them dizzy and open to attack. The angle and direction of the attack can be adjusted before it is released, concentrating during the attack will slow down the flow of time around you and zoom in on the target, making it easier to aim. This ability can also be used to destroy barriers in the Astral Plane that obstruct progression, by lining the direction of the attack with the weak points of the barrier.

The Legion's sword can also interfere with electronic equipment, and can be inserted into devices to access and absorb data. This can be used to obtain and analyze information necessary for investigation.

The Sword Legion can blueshift redshifting citizens.
