Falkenberg's Mercenary Legion

Falkenberg's Legion is a mercenary organization led by John Christian Falkenberg III. A light infantry company, it is ideal for combat on colony worlds. The Legion is well trained, equipped, and experienced. Falkenberg, a fine military officer and tactician, has lead his Legion to victory in several wars.

Because the Legion is a mercenary unit, force protection is necessary. If there are no more soldiers, there's nothing to sell. To replace soldiers, the Legion recurits from local population or defeated enemies. The Legion fights for whoever pays them to. To get from planet to planet, Falkenberg uses his connections in the CoDOminium Fleet to transport his units.

Falkenberg was once a CoDominium Marine, but was forced to leave and his unit was deactivated. Afterwards, he created the Legion using marines from his old unit.
