Founded in YE 33 the Legion V2) is one of the older legions alongside those of its sister units formed in the same year being the Legion I, Legion II, Legion III, and Legion IV. In the following year Legion V took the Ushobrakflug System from the Sfrarabla Mishhuvurthyar Xhrafuklurp (SMX) and have held the system and world ever since from Fort Stryhm on the planet of Onigashima (Planet).
The Legion V is broken up into several groups each with a different purpose and doctrine segment complementing the whole.
Urban Assault Units: These units form the core of Legion V's forces and specialize in close-quarters combat within urban environments, room clearing, and urban warfare tactics. They are equipped with Daisy M6 Infantry Power Armor, and often supported by tanks, APC, and sometimes mecha.
Counterinsurgency Specialists: These troops are trained to identify and neutralize insurgent cells within urban centers. They employ counterintelligence tactics, conduct raids on suspected hideouts with local authorities if any are present, and work to disrupt insurgent networks.
Intelligence Teams: Legion V maintains specialized teams responsible for gathering intelligence, conducting surveillance, and identifying insurgent activities within urban areas. Lightly armed and armored they skirt the battle lines with or behind the main forces. These teams provide critical information for planning and executing operations.
Special Operations Squads: Small, highly trained squads of Star Army Infantry (Ranger Qualified) are assigned to carry out specialized missions such as targeted strikes, recon, sabotage, and high-value target elimination. These squads possess advanced combat skills, stealth capabilities, and specialized equipment to operate covertly in urban environments.
Support and Logistics Units: To sustain operations, Legion V deploys support and logistics units responsible for maintaining supply lines, providing medical support, and ensuring the smooth functioning of communication and transportation networks. These units are crucial for the sustainability and effectiveness of the entire force.
Training and Advisory Teams: more often considered the reserves; Legion V includes teams of experienced trainers and advisors who work closely with the backup forces and new recruits. They provide guidance, training, and assistance in building local security capacity. They are often tasked with security and ground holding.
The Legion V uses the Rikugun Ashigaru-style loadout and equipment in its standard operations relying mostly on infantry and vehicle support with very rare powered armor interdiction.
