Name and Motto
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 tranferred to the unit as well.
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.
