Article from "State of the Legion", internal Lavigny's Legion newsletter. 26 Jun, 3305Following a massively successful defensive campaign against Thargoid incursions into densely populated space, the Extraterrestrial Defense Guard of the Empire has joined the Anti-Xeno Initiative fleet in Asterope to go on the offensive.
Lead in the field by Legate "Saint" Michael, the EDGE Fleet has been devoted to pushing out Thargoids from human space, having led a three month campaign where Legionnaires pull full-time days of endless combat against these alien aggressors. With the campaign slated to end tomorrow, Legionnaires are expected to return home to their families per Edict II, having claimed a massive victory against the Thargoids. However, Office of Civil Operations and Relations psychologist Vienna Mattarr has some concerns of their return.
"These men and women have been in endless combat for three months, with less than five days of shore leave. They're being well-compensated, but I fear that the effects of this campaign will haunt them forever," Mattarr said in a message to NCN this morning.
Still, the hearts of EDGE Fleet seem to not have been broken. In a holographic interview with Legate "Saint" Michael today, he spoke a little of his pride in his unbreakable cadre of Legionnaires. Morale is higher than ever before, and during the interview, both Vexilarii and Legionnaires stood shoulder to shoulder, appearing in great health.
Asked for closing remarks, Legate Michael proclaimed, "I couldn't be more proud of EDGE Fleet. With numerous new and veteran pilots joining the fight against our "Xeno" foe, EDGE has become one of the greatest AX forces; not only in the Empire, but in the entire galaxy. I would like to personally express my immense appreciation to all our EDGE pilots who have made this all possible and who have risked their lives and ships not only for the Empire but for humanity. Arissa Invicta!"
OCOR reminds all personnel that counseling is available in the OCOR building free of charge per Imperial Naval mandate. Services are available from 0800-2330 galactic time, seven days a week.
