Contents
History
Origins
The Second Brigade distinguished itself from among the Army's legions during an operation on Thyferra when, under the command of Captain Mintaka Kyuzo and Command Sergeant Mark ein Arton, they brought down a third of the opposing forces despite heavy losses, forcing the rebels into a hasty retreat. The units deserving mention were the Maelstrom Heavy Mech Brigade and the Protectors Stormtrooper Squad. The campaign saw the first recorded use of coded communication in real-time operations among Imperial Army units. The Second Legion was granted its official nickname, the Hellhounds, for its soldiers' renowned determination to crush enemies of the Empire.
After several months helping the Empire expand through engineering and material transportation, the Second Imperial Legion was sent on an offensive mission on the planet Myrkr. Using advanced techniques learned from previous missions, the Hellhounds were able to scan and effectively cleanse the planet of enemy activity in record time, surpassing even the Navy scouts. Captain Arton, 2nd Lieutenant Adams, and Corporal Krall secured a grassland strip in the southeastern part of the planet, nicknamed "Hellhound's Strip".
Year 8 to 12
Zenchi Senkusha, who would be the last commanding officer of the Second Brigade, objected to the changes brought by the Imperial Army reformation of Year 8. Among these changes were the reclassification of Brigades into Legions. Senkusha was arrested for treason and his successor, 1st Lieutenant Graeda L'Annan, was the first commander of the Hellhounds to hold the position of Legion Commanding Officer.

The Hellhounds flourished under her command and, less than a year later, the Second Imperial Legion were selected to be merged with the Seventh Imperial Fleet to form the experimental military unit known as the Assault Force. Captain L'Annan and Captain Rex Corwyn commanded the Assault Force until Corwyn retired and was succeeded by Markus Saretti.
The Assault Force participated in Operation Dumbo Drop from Y11 D54 to D64, which liberated the planet M'buh from the rebel garrison in the N'zoth system, a mere day from the major rebel strongholds of Republica and Akrit`tar.
Year 12 to 14
On Y12 D152, Lord General Seele ordered the formation of six Brigades to fall under the command of three Legions, with each Legion having two Brigades each. The Hellhounds were restructured into the 2nd Legion, so named because of its assignment to the 2nd Sector, and made up of the operationally independent 2nd and 5th Brigades. The 2nd Brigade inherited the nickname and history of the Hellhounds and the 5th Brigade, to complement her sister brigade, revived the nickname Inferno from the defunct 5th Army Battalion.
The 2nd and 5th Brigades, commanded by Relena Vercet and Nathaniel Durane respectively, participated in Operation Frostbite from Y12 D180 to D230. They aided the Regional Government under Grand Moff Orphaea Imperium in carrying out a full audit of planetary bodies within the Coruscant Sector, which in turn aided the full audit of all planetary bodies within the Galactic Empire. Military and civilian units were committed to undertaking ground-level planetary scans and reporting their findings to the Regional Government.
After the conclusion of Operation Frostbite, the 2nd and 5th Brigades were not deployed together for nearly two years due to the vast distance between their assigned sectors. They were reunited in Year 14 when the 2nd Legion was deployed to the violent and trying surface of Derra IV for Operation Sovereign Canopy.
Operations
Imperial operations conducted by or in part with the 2nd Imperial Legion:
Sullust Mission
Against the Sorosuub Corporation's rising threat, the Empire sent the experienced Second Legion to the faction's capital planet of Sullust to a show of force. In the Legion's biggest and most acclaimed mission ever since its creation, the Hellhounds performed with courage and ingenuity in the enemy backyard. Full Walker and Infantry formations were coordinated successfully and the Imperial Army was able to keep a close hold on the planet for several weeks, storming enemy buildings and performing mass arrests. By this time the Second Imperial Legion, known as Hellhounds, became a force to be feared and known among the Galaxy.
Coruscant Defense
Several high-ranked officers were involved in this operation, led by Major General Dale Chambers and Brigadier General Alan Steel. City Coruscant was entirely under enemy control. The operative ran in New Republic ships and the city was protected by Anti-Air of the Alderaan Mining Corporation. This operation saw an extensive use of coded communication. A message was sent to all contact in the hostile city, stating the following: "Attention citizen. This area is being searched by the Imperial Army. Stand down and answer this hailing with your current business in this area. Failure to comply may result in arrest."
Troop Preparedness
(Year 9, Day 122 – Year 9, Day 213),
The Hellhounds were then to oversee the training of a garrison of Stormtroopers. The 2nd quickly whipped the troopers into shape, utilizing an intense physical training regime and live fire field exercises.
Adkinien Shield Activation
(Year 9, Day 31)
Operation Stellar Aegis
(Year 10, Day 33 – Year 10, Day 92)
Operation Pirate Cleansing
(Year 10, Day 214 – Year 11, Day 2)
Flagships

The predecessor of the fearsome and ubiquitous Imperial-class, the Victory-class Star Destroyer saw the height of its production in the beginning of the Clone Wars, filling the need of the Old Republic for a capital ship capable of fulfilling multiple combat roles. The unique, dagger-shaped design of the Star Destroyer allows the Victory-class to concentrate nearly all of its weapons on its front firing arc. This ingenious design has since been copied in every subsequent design of the Star Destroyer by the Empire. While only little more than half the size of the Imperial-class, the Victory-class Star Destroyer mounts 120 turbolaser batteries and 20 proton torpedo launchers, giving it more offensive punch than its larger cousin. Both troop berths and hangar space were sacrificed in order to mount the additional weapons on the hull, making the Victory-class Star Destroyer a dedicated ship-to-ship combat vessel whereas the Imperial-class is able to serve many more functions in the Imperial Navy. After seizing galactic power after the fall of the Old Republic, the Galactic Empire kept the Victory-class in service and even continued to build the vessel, updating and refitting its secondary systems as necessary.
The commissioned flagship of the Second Imperial Legion was, for a number of years, the Victory-I Star Destroyer Cerberus. In the first decade of Imperial history, this vessel was the commissioned flagship of the 8th Imperial Fleet under the name Victory. It was then replaced by an Imperial Star Destroyer and became the personal ship of the fleet's executive officer. After about four years, it was reassigned to the Second Assault Fleet and given the name Abattoir. In c. Year 8, several Victory Star Destroyers were recalled and given back their original name to preserve their historical value. Therefore, the ship known as Cerberus may have had different ID numbers under various commanding officers.
