[Royal Navy Foreign Legion]

Légion Etrangère Information


Background:

---

The Foreign Legion is a detachment of the Gallic Royal Navy seen as expendables by the higher ups and gallic nobility it has served as a supporting role to the House of Gallia for years. Usually in any confrontation the Foreign Legion are the first to be sent in to a battlefield so although they are looked down upon they are still seen as a welcomed addition to any fleet.

The Foreign Legion is made up of personnel from a variety of ethnic backgrounds who have sworn loyalty to the King and the deFrance family, half of which are not of pure gallic blood.

La Legion differentiates itself from other units of the Gallic Royal Navy, in both how it operates and its recruitment etiquette. Rather than following the path of a traditional Navy. Legionnaires operate more like Marines or Heavy Soldiers. La Legion is seen as a brotherhood but there are some lines that cannot be crossed due to Marine Law. La Legion itself is split into two spheres that of the Commissioned Officers and that of the NCOS.

Commissioned Officers (COs) form the commanding unit of the legion, strict protocols around promotion into this unit require that all officers must be of Gallic birth and have already served at least 3 tours of duty in the Secondary Fleet holding 1 commanding position beforehand. COs make up 30% of the Legion.

Non-Commissioned Officers (NCOs) form the bulk of the Foreign Legion, consisting of the grunts that do all the fighting on the ground and serve as deckhands aboard Legion Capital ships. Recruitment in the NCO sphere is much more relaxed and open to both gallic and non-gallic citizens. A lot of recruits are former criminals or wanted pilots who join the Legion to escape the long end of the Law. However their previous combat experience proves invaluable in most snub fights, where enemy pilots cannot seem to match them on skill and are quickly shot down.


Brief History:

Major action saw them take part in fighting against the Council, and since the legions formation when the Gallic Borders were opened to Sirius the Foreign Legion has been primarily tasked with border patrols and local fighting against Gallic enemies in the Taus and the Gallic Borderworlds.

However with the Battle lines overstretched in Bretonia and Magellan; the Taus were left poorly defended. Recently the Foreign Legion was redeployed to Tau 44 to defend it from Council and Colonial Incursions but this effort failed due to poor reinforcements and planning by the GRN High Command.

Now stationed in Leeds, the Foreign Legion has been tasked with maintaining an offensive front in Bretonia pushing into Magellan and Manchester, into the systems further North. Cutting Bretonias supply lines is seen as a main objective for the Legion.

At present the Legion serves as a fleet detachment in support of the Royal Navy with emphasis on surgical strikes and sabotage.

Faction Goals:

---

Short Term

Assist the Royal Navy in conquering Bretonia via the continued push through Magellan and Manchester into the capital New London removing all resistance in between and cutting off Bretonia from Liberty by driving a wedge through the Cortez system, inspire more Sirians to join the Gallic cause and swear loyalty to the King and the Royal Navy. Serving Gallia through le legion etrangere.


Long Term

Since a lot of Legionnaires are Sirians they are seen as second class citizens in Gallia by the "pure bloods" and Gallic nobility, oblivious to this they are taught to blindly follow the King and are thus his ultimate servants. They believe that fighting for King Charles will mean they will earn the right to become Gallic Citizens rather than be seen as Sirian slaves and thus achieve redemption for the ledger of their previous sins.

But why not join GRN|?

---

[Omi]

FWIW, there's already a Foreign Legion within GRN|. The threads related to it seem to have been invised at some point, but it still exists.

---

[Royal Navy Foreign Legion]

We have a different take on Gallic RP to the GRN|!

We believe a more aggressive approach is needed, besides we need a fully rounded navy one that utilizes Caps and one that utilizes snubs. We hope to fill the cap void but more a motley crew rather than a decorated polished fleet.

The main focus of our group will be that we are not pure gallics rather a band of brothers loyal to the king originating from all corners of the empire. We are rough around the edges even disobedient or arrogant at times.

Some of us are even captured ex-pirates that were forced to swear loyalty to the king or be put to the sword. So expect unlawful actions aswell as the usual Navy Drill.

But why not join GRN|?

Hey Shelco, many of us have tried and failed to join the GRN| maybe due to snobbery or other reasons. I guess we wanted to try a fresh approach to RP with our own ideas on Gallia

FWIW, there's already a Foreign Legion within GRN|. The threads related to it seem to have been invised at some point, but it still exists.

Hi omi, well I have seen your legionnaires in action so I am well aware of the unit within the GRN| and its members.

The Foreign Legion is made up of personnel from a variety of ethnic backgrounds who have sworn loyalty to the King and DeFrance family, most of which are not of pure gallic blood.

Major action saw them take part in the Second Gallic War against the Council, and since the opening of Gallic Borders to Sirius the Foreign Legion has been primarily tasked with border patrols and local fighting against Gallic enemies in the Taus.

Can you explain me how could a Foreign Legion made out of mostly people "not of pure gallic blood" exist and take part in any major action during the Second Gallic War before the entire house and nation meeting any non-gallics for like a millenia, but at least for almost eight centuries?

Gallia is made up of a host of ethnicities, not all stem from noble bloodlines or pure gallics but are still loyal to the king. We are those people those that gallia may class as lower citizens.

Freely raid Bretonia whenever you like. You'll always be welcomed!

Considering Gallia's ethnicity, however... How do you know that some of its people weren't French before opening itself to Sirius?

Of course some were, but we are not.

Being soldiers of different nations it gives us more unique possibilities to RP the background of our chars and reflect the diverse nature of the legion.
