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. First 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 First 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.
