The 1st Imperial Legion is the premier unit of the Imperial Army. Throughout the years, it has seen considerable action and many great commanders have come and go. Since its inception, the officers and enlisted personnel of the 1st Imperial Legion have upheld the greatest traditions of the Galactic Empire, and the legion is home to some of the most skilled and brave Imperial soldiers. Currently, the Legion is under the command of Lieutenant Colonel Santiano Salazar.
History
Operations and Missions
The 1st Legion has been at the forefront of many an Imperial campaign and training exercise, in joint taskings with the 1st Fleet. Most notably, elements of the 1st Legion were instrumental in securing the Ralltiir System in the Darpa Sector for the Galactic Empire in mid-Year 13, subsequently earning it the praise and recognition of the entire Empire, and, more importantly, the gratitude of His Majesty, Emperor Guinar Ndengin the First. For its actions in the Ralltiir theatre, every member of the 1st Brigade, the sub-unit deployed to secure the system, was granted the Unit Distinguished Service medal from Lord General L`Annan herself.
Marching Stormtroopers: Crollia
On Day 59 Year 9, the First Legion was summoned to the planet of Crollia where it took part in military maneuvers. Members of the "Immortals" rose to this challenge, completing the training of over eight squadrons of troops in record time. The training drills surpassed expectations, especially considering they used nothing more than infantry equipment. This mission ended on Day 190 Year 9.
Bastion Project
The 1st Legion was tasked to assist the Coruscanti Regional Government with their project of developing Bastion early in Year 10. They were involved in improving infrastructure for many cities throughout Bastion to adequately house the planet's 260 billion citizens. Bastion's economy boomed as a result of their efforts. The investment into developing Bastion has been considered a great success, and the Galactic Empire collects over 12 billion credits in yearly taxes from Bastion. Although the assignment was not considered traditional work for soldiers, the Immortals were honored to participate in work that they felt would support and strengthen the Empire for years to come.
Operation Consolidation
Mission details are classified presently.
Action at Ithilivir
The citizens of the planet Ithilivir revolted against the Empire. The Immortals, who were already engaged in Operation Consolidation, were called upon to recapture the planet. After a month's struggle, the Legion was able to secure the Planet. The soldiers of 1IL were highly praised for swiftly rising to meet the call of duty.

Name and Motto
|
| VSD Immortal - 1IL's former home |
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 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.
Brigades of the 1st Imperial Legion
1st Assault Brigade, the Immortals
