Description:
Created During the Henson Duval Era, the Imperial 11th Legion is one of the 12 Primaria Legiones.
Strong of 10 000 Legionnaires when it was created, the first deeds of the 11th was when they've been deployed alongside with all the other legions in the Federation-Empire galactic wars, they have developed the energy curtain and later, the Iron Curtain.
During the galatctic war, they distinguish themselves from other legions when they start launch raids against Federal Navy forces and boarding their capital ships to disabling or destroying them leaving no survivors behind them.
Their members are mainly all Armorers/Blacksmiths, allowing the legion to have better equipements, weapons, vehicles and ships than other legion. They are frequently working with other legions when they need to repair and improved their equipements, .
In 3250, the legion with a Federal Navy/INRA leading by Admiral Albert "Hammerhead" Hudson- were defending the Priva system and the systems exploited by the main world on the border between the Empire and the Federation against the Thargoids, but the Task Force disappear at the same time as the Thargoids, without traces.
After several decades, searches and investigations were abandonned and the legion was declared "Lost In Action", a year later, Imperial Explorers found a abandonned base of the Imperial containing several reports, including audio files records dating from 3250's that reveal what really happenned to the Legion.
The Admiral Hudson with Some INRA officers Double-Crossed the 11th legion, using Biological warheads containing a modified and more powerful strain of the Mycoid - The Gamma-Mycoid - against Thargoids ships and Imperial vessels as well as bombarding several planetary garrisons held by the Legion and civilians places killing billions people(Men, women, children and legionaries) in order to wiping out his imperial rivals and the aliens and every last civilians witnesses simultaneously, leaving no evidences behind, but It didn't work as they intended.
The 11th starts retaliate against federal/INRA troops and ships.
Several weeks later, the Thargoid who were contaminated by the virus come back and suddendly started to attack federal/INRA ships and troops as they decided to help the Legion which was contaminated as well. After the traitors forces retreated, Thargoid Captains and the Generals of the Legion with his commanders meet each other on the planet and decided to put their efforts to track The Admiral Hudson's forces and gathering every clues they can about this virus.
A month later, Albert Hudson's remianing ships including his capital ship were located and intercept by the 11th Legion's capital ships after they get ripped out of hyperspace by the Thargoids.
Every federal/INRA combat ships were destroyed and the commanding capitals ship disabled and hudson captured, during the interogations, he unregretfully admitted he have plot this genocide without the approval of the Federal Admiralty and some INRA simpathyzer and also planned to spread the virus through the whole Empire, he died several times later from the Mycoid without.
After searching the INRA database using Hudson's key-codes in his brain implants, they discover that INRA has developped a Vaccine the mycoid in the case of an galaxy-wide outbreak.
After searching for months, they manage to locate one of the INRA secret laboratory where the vaccine is developped they also discover an imperial geneticist team lead by doctor Seth where also held captive.
After they isolate the station by deactivating their communications, they quickly attack the laboratory, kill every hostiles inside, Doctor Seth and his team, after revealing what the Federation planned to do with mycoid, he and his team decided to help the Legion/Thargoid forces and show them where the vaccines are stocked and the blueprints for Thargoid/human translator device.
The joint-force evacuate after they recover vaccines, Doctor Seth and his team and all the medical and Genetic equipements from the station and wipe it out from the face of the universe before disapearing in the witch-space with the Thargoids.
After several months Doctor seth and his team managed to finalize the cure and begins to inject it on both thargoid and human volonteers with 90% success.
After 3 weeks, The survivor of the 11th Legion and the thargoid fleet were cured, later, The legion decided to go back to the Priva system one last time with remaining vaccines to cure civilians of the virus.
After this events, the remaining thargoid including the Hive Queen and her Overlords and ship crews decided to not return to their homeworld and rather establish a new hive away from Oresrians/Klaxxians Known as the Privian hive (name after the place they fought) in a location that is only by the legion Legate and his Generals and Centurions knows.
The legion retreats from Priva, leaving only a legionary banner behind and ask Priva's governor to give it to the Imperial Navy when they arrived and tell them to bring it emperor's throne and tell they will understand the meaning.
When the Imperial navy 2nd Legion arrived, 1 week later in Priva, but found no traces of the Legion, When they ask the System's Governor, he give them the legionary banner of the 11th on which we can read:
"In Dedicato Imperium Ultra Articulo Mortis" (For the Empire beyond the point of death).
Only the Legion Legate, 3 Generals, 10 Centurions and 1000 legionaires, 1000 combat pilots and 1500 crewmen of all 4 capitall ships combined.
With Doctor Seth's help, The Legion starts to acquire a considerable knowledge on Genetic and Xeno-Biology. They Possessed Genetic/cloning technologies and Transplantations/Graft techniques far more advanced than the empire standards, everyone -from legionnaires to the General himself- goes under the process once to prevent them from being harm by anykind biological weapon and most of the disease (including all form of Cancer and the Cerberus plague).
By combining human and Thargoid technology, they created A new devices called ECM field generator, capable of creating an exclusion zone and making targeting systems useless, causing damage to ship's electronics over the time.
Since this event, The legion also start to recruit Scientific and medical personels from all horizons to form a new division to counter Outbreaks and biological warfare weaponry.
In the year 3301 after learning about Hengist Duval's assassination, the 11th have returned, to serve the empire, once again.
