Currently, the Legion is under the command of 1st Lieutenant Morcha Drayson.

Name and Motto
The 1st Legion is traditionally known as the 'Immortals' within Army circles. This nickname origins from the pride of the Legion, the Victory-class Star Destroyer Immortal, which serves as the unit's flagship. However, the Legion earned its nickname by other means as well. 1st Legion soldiers are typically thrust into the heat of battle as the Empire's vanguard. Only their exceptional skills and courage allow them to survive the rigors of the beginning of the combat theatres in which they participate. The members of the 1st Legion are said to never die, but simply go to hell and regroup. This rumor is the basis for their eternal moniker, which they wear with pride.

| VSD Immortal - Flagship of the 1st Imperial Legion |
The Legion's current motto, Live With Courage, Die With Honor, was suggested by one of its former COs, Ralkata Tyrran, when the Legion was under the command of Marcus Aurelius and his XO, Cliff Chan. It outstandingly reflects the life and combat style of all 1st Legion personnel, from commissioned Officers to NCMs. The Empire's enemies can be assured that the 1st Legion has a well-deserved reputation of being absolutely relentless in striving to achieve battlefield supremacy.
Brigades of the 1st Imperial Legion
1st Brigade, the Immortals
1BDE is currently under the command of BCO 2nd Lieutenant Akai Ai, and his BXO is 2nd Lieutenant Dante Erinith. On the 327th Day of the 12th Year of the New Order, the soldiers of 1BDE adopted a short poem, written and published by a fellow Army soldier, Sergeant Kol Seraph, as their unit's official hymn. The poem, entitled 'And Death Shall Be Our Dominion', goes as follows:
And Death shall be our dominion.
Dead men, we shall not be,
The scent of blood on the wind, night lit by the West Moon;
Corpses picked clean to the bone, and the clean bones gone.
We shall have stars at elbow and foot,
Though we bring madness, we shall be sane,
Though our foes sink into the void, we shall rise again.
Though love may be lost, vengeance shall not,
And Death shall be our dominion...
