The 3rd Imperial Legion was created during the Imperial Army restructure that took place late in Year 8. At the time of its creation, it was known as the 3rd Imperial Brigade. Its creation was brought on by the need for expansion in the Imperial Army. Then Army Commanding Officer, [[Dale Chambers]], assigned Captain Deric Adams as the Brigade Commanding Officer with Zenchi Senkusha as his second in command. Many members of other units were transferred to the 3rd Imperial Brigade during the restructure, as the Imperial Army took on the concept of "less is more." The 3rd Imperial Legion was quickly recognized as the "Shadow Guard". The reception of this nickname was granted for displaying their deadly and cunning ability during missions, and they wore it with pride.
−
The name of the 3rd Imperial Legion used to be the ''Shadow Guards'' before Legion nicknames were transferred to the Brigade level. The Legion prides itself in its proficiency in covert operations, and this is reflected in their old Legionary motto: 'Fear what lurks in the Shadows'. With the transfer of the name 'Shadow Guards' to 3BDE, the Legion's assault brigade, the Legionary motto was also transferred to the unit as well.

Shortly after the new unit was created, it was sent on a co-op mission with the [[3rd Imperial Fleet]] to fully develop the planet of Vakkar. After Adams accepted a promotion to Army Adjutant, Lieutenant Commander Zakk Bourget of the Imperial Navy transferred to the Imperial Army and was given command of the Shadow Guard. Now a Major, Bourget and Kex continued where Adams left off. The unit didn't miss a beat as they further prepared for Operation: Vakkar. Unfortunately, during the final stages of preparation, Bourget was forced to take an extended leave of absence. During his absence, Kex would become the acting commanding officer of the brigade as he led his troops into Vakkar. After months of grueling and exhausting work both within the system and abroad, the operation was deemed a success. To this day, the planet's economy is booming and remains one of the most populated planets under Imperial control. As the Vakkar operation was wrapping up, the Imperial Army went through another small restructure. The brigades became legions once more, with the 3rd Imperial Legion - under the command of [[Bacara Kex]] - leading the way.

3rd Imperial Legionnaires specialize in doing quietly what the other Legions do with gusto, that is: preserve Imperial law and order, while destroying the enemy's will to fight the Empire. Their modus operandi more than often makes them the unsung heroes of the Imperial Army, but they are appreciated for their excellent record of service to the [[New Order]] nonetheless.
+
Kex kept Bourget on as his executive officer for a short period of time until he received word that Bourget would not be able to continue in any command position. With this unfortunate news, Kex was now without a second in command. He saw a young soldier by the name of Hawke Truden, who showed immense promise and potential. Soon, Kex named Truden his executive officer after putting him through several various tests to see if he was up to the job of leading the best unit in the army. The Shadow Guard were among the most elite troops the army had seen in a long time, and they continued to show what being the "Empire's Best" truly means, earning the first Legion of the Month award under the leadership of Kex and Truden. After months of service within the Third Imperial Legion, and being the one of the original members of the unit, Kex was promoted to Army High Command as the Army Adjutant. He handed control of the legion over to Captain [[Marcus Aurelius]], an experienced officer within the ranks of the Army.

Captain Marcus Aurelius took over command of the elite Shadow Guard on Day 219 of Year 9. Truden remained the executive officer of the unit until Day 274, when he was replaced by Lieutenant Lee Tolten. Aurelius retired from active service, and Tolten was promoted to the position of Legion Commanding Officer on Day 323. Tolten named [[Karon Alfan]] as his executive officer, but Tolten retired on Day 349, less than a month after taking command. Around the same time, Lieutenant General Dale Chambers returned to active duty within the Empire from his short stint serving in the Mandalorian Navy. He took over command of the Shadow Guard during the last days of Year 9. Having a decorated, veteran officer at its helm gave the Shadow Guards a boost in morale, especially after the quick loss of two commanders in succession. Command Sergeant Alfan continued to serve as the Legion's XO. Soon after the position was created, Rann Van transferred from the Navy to the Army, and was named as the Legion Adjutant. General Chambers was soon thereafter recalled from his Command by the order of Army High Command.

In his place, Lieutenant Colonel Rann Van was appointed commanding officer of the legion. 1st Lieutenant Alfan stayed on as executive officer, and Sergeant Major [[Sennex Crane]] became the new Legion Adjutant. However, it wasn't very far along into Colonel Van's tenure that Lieutenant Alfan met an unfortunate accident in a nearby sun, resulting in the loss of the officer. [[Endora Strax]] was brought in from the [[2nd Imperial Legion]], thus completing the command once again. Under Van's leadership, the 3rd Imperial Legion was awarded the Legion of the Month for the first time in several months. In a very sudden tragedy, Lieutenant Colonel Rann Van was killed in a brief skirmish with dissenters. Brigadier General Bacara Kex, then the Army Commanding Officer, stepped in to assume command of the 3rd Legion once more, promising to move forward as the Legion began their newest mission. During General Kex's second command of the Legion, the Shadow Guard again won the Legion of the Month award. However, Sergeant Major Crane departed, transferring to the Government branch in order to pursue his personal interests. Master Sergeant [[Szardra Kaika]] was appointed to replace him as the Legion Adjutant.

The 3rd Imperial Legion is an Imperial Army unit that was created during the Army restructure of Year 8. The unit quickly established itself as a key unit of the Emperor's Army, having overcome turbulent trials, and has since served the Empire with great skill and dedication. Since Y13 D358, the 3rd Imperial Legion has been commanded by Lieutenant Colonel Edward Canfield.

History

The 3rd Imperial Legion was created during the Imperial Army restructure that took place late in Year 8. At the time of its creation, it was known as the 3rd Imperial Brigade. Its creation was brought on by the need for expansion in the Imperial Army. Then Army Commanding Officer, Dale Chambers, assigned Captain Deric Adams as the Brigade Commanding Officer with Zenchi Senkusha as his second in command. Many members of other units were transferred to the 3rd Imperial Brigade during the restructure, as the Imperial Army took on the concept of "less is more." The 3rd Imperial Legion was quickly recognized as the "Shadow Guard". The reception of this nickname was granted for displaying their deadly and cunning ability during missions, and they wore it with pride.

Shortly after the new unit was created, it was sent on a co-op mission with the 3rd Imperial Fleet to fully develop the planet of Vakkar. After Adams accepted a promotion to Army Adjutant, Lieutenant Commander Zakk Bourget of the Imperial Navy transferred to the Imperial Army and was given command of the Shadow Guard. Now a Major, Bourget and Kex continued where Adams left off. The unit didn't miss a beat as they further prepared for Operation: Vakkar. Unfortunately, during the final stages of preparation, Bourget was forced to take an extended leave of absence. During his absence, Kex would become the acting commanding officer of the brigade as he led his troops into Vakkar. After months of grueling and exhausting work both within the system and abroad, the operation was deemed a success. To this day, the planet's economy is booming and remains one of the most populated planets under Imperial control. As the Vakkar operation was wrapping up, the Imperial Army went through another small restructure. The brigades became legions once more, with the 3rd Imperial Legion - under the command of Bacara Kex - leading the way.

Kex kept Bourget on as his executive officer for a short period of time until he received word that Bourget would not be able to continue in any command position. With this unfortunate news, Kex was now without a second in command. He saw a young soldier by the name of Hawke Truden, who showed immense promise and potential. Soon, Kex named Truden his executive officer after putting him through several various tests to see if he was up to the job of leading the best unit in the army. The Shadow Guard were among the most elite troops the army had seen in a long time, and they continued to show what being the "Empire's Best" truly means, earning the first Legion of the Month award under the leadership of Kex and Truden. After months of service within the Third Imperial Legion, and being the one of the original members of the unit, Kex was promoted to Army High Command as the Army Adjutant. He handed control of the legion over to Captain Marcus Aurelius, an experienced officer within the ranks of the Army.

Captain Marcus Aurelius took over command of the elite Shadow Guard on Day 219 of Year 9. Truden remained the executive officer of the unit until Day 274, when he was replaced by Lieutenant Lee Tolten. Aurelius retired from active service, and Tolten was promoted to the position of Legion Commanding Officer on Day 323. Tolten named Karon Alfan as his executive officer, but Tolten retired on Day 349, less than a month after taking command. Around the same time, Lieutenant General Dale Chambers returned to active duty within the Empire from his short stint serving in the Mandalorian Navy.

Having a decorated, veteran officer at its helm gave the Shadow Guards a boost in morale, especially after the quick loss of two commanders in succession. Command Sergeant Alfan continued to serve as the Legion's XO. Soon after the position was created, Rann Van transferred from the Navy to the Army, and was named as the Legion Adjutant. General Chambers was soon thereafter recalled from his Command by the order of Army High Command.

In his place, Lieutenant Colonel Rann Van was appointed commanding officer of the legion. 1st Lieutenant Alfan stayed on as executive officer, and Sergeant Major Sennex Crane became the new Legion Adjutant. However, it wasn't very far along into Colonel Van's tenure that Lieutenant Alfan met an unfortunate accident in a nearby sun, resulting in the loss of the officer. Endora Strax was brought in from the 2nd Imperial Legion, thus completing the command once again. Under Van's leadership, the 3rd Imperial Legion was awarded the Legion of the Month for the first time in several months. In a very sudden tragedy, Lieutenant Colonel Rann Van was killed in a brief skirmish with dissenters. Brigadier General Bacara Kex, then the Army Commanding Officer, stepped in to assume command of the 3rd Legion once more, promising to move forward as the Legion began their newest mission.

However, Sergeant Major Crane departed, transferring to the Government branch in order to pursue his personal interests. Master Sergeant Szardra Kaika was appointed to replace him as the Legion Adjutant.

Captain Michael Beckhart was selected to be the next commanding officer of the 3rd Imperial Legion.

Brigades of the 3rd Imperial Legion

3rd Brigade, the Shadow Guards


3BDE is currently under the command of Major Euna Miriel, and her XO is 1st Lieutenant Victoria Sheffield.

6th Brigade, the Pathfinders


6BDE is currently under the command of Lieutenant Colonel Edward Canfield, and his XO is 2nd Lieutenant Tyrren Montari.

The 6th Reconnaissance Brigade, also known as 'the Pathfinders', are a subunit of the 3rd Imperial Legion, created from the reorganization of the Legions that occured in Year 12. The Brigade proudly bears a new name, not shared by its predecessor, as is the case with its sister Brigade, 3BDE. Being a new unit of the Imperial Army, the 6th Brigade has a relatively short history, but, under its current leadership, its future in service to His Majesty looks bright.
