− | The <b>1st Imperial Legion</b> is the [[Empire]]'s initial Army unit. Throughout the years, it has seen considerable action and many great commanders have come and go. Today, the 1st Imperial Legion upholds the greatest traditions of the Army and the Empire, home to some of the most skilled and brave soldiers in the Galactic Empire. Currently, the Legion is under the command of Captain Morcha Drayson.

− | ==Name and Motto==
| |
− | <br>
| |
− | The 1st Legion is traditionally known as the 'Immortals' within Army circles. This nickname origins from the Victory-class Star Destroyer ''Immortal'', which served as the unit's flagship before the Army-Navy integration. 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 is the basis for their eternal moniker, which they display with pride.

| |
− | The Legion's current motto, ''Live With Courage, Die With Honor'', was suggested by one of its former [[CO]]s, 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.

− | 1BDE is currently under the command of BCO 1st Lieutenant Akai Ai, and his BXO is Master Sergeant Kol Seraph. 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 (later appointed the Legion's [[Signals Officer]] following 1st Lieutenant Salazar's appointment to Army Signals Officer, and Brigade Executive Officer following 2nd Lieutenant Erinith's retirement), as their unit's official hymn. The poem, entitled 'And Death Shall Be Our Dominion', goes as follows:
| |
− | | |
− | ''And Death shall be our dominion.''
| |
− | <br>
| |
− | ''Dead men, we shall not be,''
| |
− | <br>
| |
− | ''The scent of blood on the wind, night lit by the West Moon;''

| |
− | ''We shall have stars at elbow and foot,''
| |

| |
− | ''Though we bring madness, we shall be sane,''
| |
