-The legion was formed in [[timeline:ye_37]] as part of 9,000,000 new soldiers created for Legions 634-1083. Following the disbandment of the [[stararmy:fleets:1sf:ketsurui_samurai_detachment]] in [[timeline:ye_39]], the legion was re-organized and refit as a heavy formation to be led by [[stararmy:occupations:centurion|Centurions]] drawn from those samurai who took the option to stay with the Star Army((https://stararmy.com/roleplay-forum/index.php?threads/disbanding-the-star-armys-ketsurui-samurai.60173/)) rather than continue direct service to the [[faction:yamatai:ketsurui_clan]]. In all, the Legion's combat officer corps of 200 Centurions are all former samurai, as well as the Legion's commander and other selected command leaders. Many former journeywoman samurai trainees were also selected for the Legion after direct enlistment. So while the 777th does not have a monopoly on former Ketsurui Samurai within its ranks, it is certainly notable for their concentration.+The legion was formed in [[timeline:ye_37]] as part of 9,000,000 new soldiers created for Legions 634-1083.

 The 777th launched alongside a [[stararmy:fleets:third_fleet]] task force to counter-attack the Interstellar Kingdom of Kuvexia in early [[timeline:YE_42]]((https://stararmy.com/roleplay-forum/threads/third-fleet-moves-into-virgo-launches-kuvexian-expedition.65798/)), unknowingly escaping their home system just before the planet was besieged in what would become known as the [[timeline:events:third_battle_of_nataria]]. Although many soldiers in the 777th found themselves disappointed that they could not participate in the defense of Yamataian soil, they pressed on with their mission to meet up with the forward-deployed [[stararmy:starships:yss_kaiyo_ii]] and establish a foothold closer to Kuvexian territory. The 777th launched alongside a [[stararmy:fleets:third_fleet]] task force to counter-attack the Interstellar Kingdom of Kuvexia in early [[timeline:YE_42]]((https://stararmy.com/roleplay-forum/threads/third-fleet-moves-into-virgo-launches-kuvexian-expedition.65798/)), unknowingly escaping their home system just before the planet was besieged in what would become known as the [[timeline:events:third_battle_of_nataria]].

 +
 +Almost immediately after they arrived on the Kuvexian warfront, the legion was thrust into battle against Kuvexian strongpoints alongside the //Kaiyō II// and Third Fleet Uchuugun elements. During a particularly risky raid, [[stararmy:ranks:taii]] [[character:ketsurui_aiko]] and two of her comrades from the //Kaiyō II// — one of which was the Nepleslian exchange officer [[character:william]], the son of Nepleslia's premier — were captured during a deep cover infiltration of an enemy installation. First listed as "missing in action," it was later learned that the three were [[faction:kuvexia:prisoners|prisoners of war in Kuvexia]] and had been forced into slave fighting in one of the Interstellar Kingdom's gladiatorial combat arenas. Legion 777 was subsequently sent to free the [[faction:yamatai:ketsurui_clan|imperial family]] officer from her imprisonment. The raid was successful with Aiko, William, [[character:fujiwara_saya]], and Saya's newborn child rescued from captivity.
 +
 +So inspired by her legion's charge and their mission performance, Shôshô Uzume named the 777th "Princess Aiko's Natarian Grenadier Legion" in honor of their accomplishment. With so many former Ketsurui Samurai in the legion, all of whom had previously having chosen to officially forsake their vows to protect the Ketsurui Clan so they could continue power armor service in the Star Army, the new moniker was a universally welcome change. Although so many of Yamatai's samurai, journeywomen, and trainees still felt some amount of shame after being forced to choose between Empire and Imperials, those in Legion 777 could now count themselves fortunate to serve both.
