The Legions
(a.k.a. psychokinetics, PKs, Legionnaires or war dogs - textfile conversion, Robert Linsey Marsden, Æon Trinity, Proteus Division)

Some say money is the spark that starts a war, but rage keeps it burning. The Aberrant War was fueled by so much rage that it's still smoldering almost 60 years later. That anger is the motivation of the Fourth.

The most scattered of the Legions, the Fourth is a dumping ground for fanatical PKs. Sociopathic Aberrant haters are assigned to the Fourth, and they find kindred spirits there. In a society filled to the brim with anti - Aberrant sentiment, folks this extreme are pretty damn radical.

While the Avengers share a common bond in their hatred, they're the least unified of the Legions. Soldiers of the Fourth are the most likely to take individual assignments, and many work for pathetically little pay, accepting contracts that suit their needs for revenge, justice or atonement. Of course, they're also the most likely to barge in on you uninvited and accuse your wife of being an Aberrant spy. There's rarely any middle ground with the Fourth. They even disturb the rest of us.

I'm biased, but in my mind there's no Legion finer than the Fifth. The Americas are sorely in need of defense, not only from Aberrants, but from themselves. North America's full of civvies railing against the Federated States Military. Don't get me started on those glorified policemen! South America's rifle with all kind of political and social intrigue. You need a scorecard to know who your friends are on this half of the world, but everyone knows where the Fifth stands.

Legionnaires recruited form the Americas are stationed in the Western Hemisphere, and comprise the majority of the Fifth's troops. I've heard the brass is worried that we're more loyal to the West than to the Legions. I can only speak for myself; All that's really important to me is a healthy hatred of Aberrants, and the Americas are home to enough of that.

Europe is a wreck, a third class continent. Its people are strong and hopeful, though, and its the Sixth Legion job to defend those folks. Second to the America, Europe is where most Legion recruits come from. The Sixth has set up as many recruitment stations as it can afford. Considering that most of its funding comes from European donations, the Sixth is on a pretty tight budget. IT test every bloke who applies.

The European Legion concentrates on mobile squads rather than established bases. Sure, it has a few posts, like in London, Zurich - Geneva, Rome, and Leningrad, but even Legionnaires stationed here spend much of their time on patrol - particularly along the French border wastes.

This is the newest Legion. It was established after the Chromatics' raid on the Karroo colony back in 2113. Before that, the Legionnaires who patrolled space and who were set up on colonies and orbital stations operated independently. After a point, there was just too much going on in space to not have an established presence, yeh?

So, we've got Phoenix Squadron: a collection of hot pilots and brave psions, out there among the stars making sure nothing gets through to us.

Next to the ISRAns, the PKs of the Seventh make up most of the biofighter pilots. They don't stop there, though. Phoenix Squadron has posts on space stations and colonies. The Seventh maintains an HQ on Luna, the better to respond to any threats fro the stars. They're as strong willed, independent lot, I'll give'em that. Next to the Fourth, soldiers of Phoenix Squadron are the Legions' most balls to the wall outfit. Believe me, coming from another Legionnaire, that's saying something.
