Societal Legions

## Types of Legions

The Society employs three different types of legions across the Sol system:

* **House Legions:** These legions belong exclusively to the House that forms them, and are led by either a member, banner or lancer of the family. These legions are not part of the formal military structure of the Society, and thus have no formal name and no number.
* **Expeditionary Legions:** These legions are the main fighting forces of the Society, and are owned by the government. Historically, however, they have been led by members or banners of a particular House as their Legate. These legions usually earn their name through battle prowess, as a mark of honor from the Sovereign.
* **Irregular Legions:** These legions, while part of the formal military structure of the Society, stand aside from their expeditionary counterparts, and often fulfill dedicated roles.

## List of Legions

### House Legions

This is a list of the House legions belonging to several families among the 200. This list is non-exhaustive, given how it has only a few of the Two Hundred, and does not include any non-200 families at all, despite the fact that these can raise legions as well. By the start of the Solar War, the Dictator of the Society imposed on the Houses a levy of between five and ten thousand soldiers, respective to the capabilities of their lands.

### Expeditionary Legions

This is a list of Societal State Legions. In order, it shows the legions number, formal name, casual name, traditional leader and volume. Legions that are crossed out have defected in full, and family names crossed out mean that either the family does not exist anymore or it cannot continue assuming command of the legion, for a variety of reasons. Keep in mind these names do not mean that the legions *belong* to these families, only that, historically, a member or banner of the family has been their Legate.

The traditional legions XLIII to LXX have been expunged from Societal records, having followed their leaders in defection during the Second Moon Lord’s rebellion. In their place, new legions have been raised with those numbers, but because they have been freshly formed, most have yet to earn the honor of a new name.

### Irregular Legions

* **Praetorian Guard:** The Sovereign’s personal defenders, this legion has three divisions:
	+ **Legio Praetorianus Palatinensis:** this section of the Praetorians is tasked with the defense of the Palatine and the Senate. Currently, most of their members have sworn to the Republic or are on the run.
	+ **Legio Praetorianus Exploratores:** the intelligence body of the Praetorians, many of them were on Luna during the fall.
	+ **Legio Praetorianus Speculatores:** the Praetorians of this section are often dispatched across the system as bodyguards for valuable targets.
* **Janissaries:** young heirs from the Rim held hostage after the Second Moon Lords’ Rebellion, these Golds were trained by the Fear Knight at the time, and shaped into loyal protectors of the Society.
* **Immortals:** a legion of faceless people, these soldiers never take off their helms in public. They are conscripted from childhood across the system, and instilled with the idea that their lives are of little worth beyond serving the society. These are the legions that accompany the Jannisaries to battle.
