So really it could be called anything, but the most commonly accepted name is Legion...

From the Hard-Light wiki on the GTD Legion:

Quote
An Orion-class destroyer is shown being destroyed by the SD Lucifer in the FreeSpace 2 intro cutscene. Volition was fairly clear this ship was not the Galatea. A community member asked if the ship could be called the Legion. Volition responded, "Call it that if you want," so the ship is generally referred to as the Legion.

Boystrous 19 year old temp at work slapped me in the face with an envelope and laughed it off as playful. So I shoved him over a desk and laughed it off as playful. It's on camera so I can plead reasonable force.  Temp is now passive.

Yeah for all we know the designer of cutscene could have intended it to be the Llanfair...??? you know that town in Wales with the insanely long name, the one that Da Goob used in DEM. But in the fan community it is more commonly known as the Legion...which is a great deal easiar to spell and pronounce

Nope...Mobius could be an appropriate name for a science cruiser, though...

Seriously, August Ferdinand Mobius was a mathematician(or whatever it's spelled)...

As for the faction, let's keep INFA out from this discussion :nervous:

I wonder if you'll play through the battle of Deneb, watch the Legion be destroyed, and then see one of your wingmates shot down by a Manticore.

That'd be interesting.

EDIT: except you're not a GTI pilot in ST:R, are you. Whoops.

And it's set after the Lucy destruction anyway so it wouldn't happen.

Maybe the Legion was GTI?
Err.

The Legion was the flagship of GTI R&D wasn't it? (according to some mythic interview)

In our storyline the Legion is the GTI flagship, mobile headquarters, internal affairs coordinator and liason with the GTA.

You can imagine how its loss at the Battle of Deneb would complicate things.

And you are, in fact, a pilot for the GTI in Silent Threat and ST:R. It's the whole point, really.

Yeah.  It's not the entire GTI that goes rogue, just part of it.

Well this whole campaign isn't canon, and it would make sense for ST:R to name it the Legion, if it was involved with their campaign, because it's one of the closest things we have to fanon right now.

If they didn't, I'd understand, but unless they had a purpose for not calling it the Legion, I'd be downright confused as to why.

So the Legion is fighting the Shivans in the midst of the Great War why? I mean, I think they started the war somehow, but you'd think they'd let the GTA take the brunt of the attack once the Shivans actually attacked...

Or was it the Shivans who attacked the GTI? Was something the GTI doing the motivation for the Shivans to attack? In that case why did they attack the Vasudans and the GTA?

:confused:

I always thought that GTI was part of the GTA. If the Shivans attack the GTA, they would attack the GTI too.

It's also good to remember that Shivans are xenocidal; by default, they will kill an entire species and take no prisoners.

When you're talking about taking on something like the Lucifer, any Orion is presumably fair game to get deployed, GTI or not.
