Leaving all her wealth and status, Sarah von Fanel married Petrus Esh on [[Coruscant]] two years before Igneus was born. Petrus was a simple middle class worker, but very charismatic.

21341gw.png

Birth of the Legion

The Second Imperial Legion (2IL) (also known as the Hellhounds) of the Imperial Army, was formed only shortly before the Imperial Army reformation and has lasted through many conflicts since the time of its initial formation. It remains one of the top fighting forces of the Galactic Empire and His Majesty, Emperor Thomas Cherokee to this very day. The Second Imperial Legion has fought in many of the battles that plagued the Galactic Empire and has always remained loyal to Emperor. During a particularly bloody battle on Thyferra the Second Imperial Legion took the most losses on the battlefield, but also brought down a third of their opponents alone. Their kill-death ratio was one of the most impressive of that battle, regardless of their alarming number of losses. The Second's ranks surged forward without any regard for their own lives, driving the Rebels into a scared retreat. Their bravery and sheer will in several battles including that one, not just to survive, but to crush anything that opposed the Galactic Empire, earned the Second Imperial Legion the well deserved nickname of "Hellhounds" - a name that they are proud of to this day. The legion has since then grown, both in strength, and will into one of the toughest and meanest Imperial Army legions; the legionary pride of their armed forces in the Galactic Empire. The Second has become one of the most inspirational legions in the Imperial Army, with an amazing history behind it. The Second has also seen many great commanders come and go, but none of them ever forgotten.

Operations and Missions

Imperial operations conducted by or in part with the Second Imperial Legion:

Operation: Warspite Excellent performance at the Empress Teta system along with the Imperial Navy. Unit awarded with the 'Operation: Warspite' ribbon, the only unit in the Imperial Army to have it.


Thyferra Patrol Second Legion was sent to Thyferra to keep the offensive over the Trade Federation. Then Captain Mintaka Kyuzo led the unit to a successful operation, being replaced during the mission by then Command Sergeant Mark ein Arton. Units deserving mention are the Maelstrom Heavy Mech Brigade and the Protectors Stormtrooper Squad. The campaign also saw the first recorded use of coded communication in real-time operations among Imperial Army units.


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.


Myrkr Sweep After several months helping the Imperial expansion through engineering and material transportation, the Second Imperial Legion was again sent on an offensive mission. This time on the Myrkr planet. 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. Corporal Krall, Captain Arton and 2nd Lieutenant Adams secured a grassland strip in the southeastern part of the planet, nicknamed "Hellhound's Strip".
