− The Legion of Vega was conceived of by [[Takashi Kurita]] as a "sink" unit where soldiers who were unable to die honorably in battle, mercenaries who fell prey to the Combine's [[Company Store]] ploys, misfits, troublemakers, and malcontents could be isolated from the rest of the DCMS. Created in [[3011]] to "represent the armpit of the Arm of the Dragon", the unit was made up of three regiments. These warriors weren't expected to do anything other than die for the Combine, and were often spent in battle with little thought to their honor or effective use. The Legion lived down to these expectations, but had an annoying habit of surviving.

Discipline was almost nonexistent and motivating this group of misfits was difficult, and usually come down to offering them bonuses or threatening executions to get them moving. The Legion of Vega was run along the lines of a mercenary unit. The government encouraged this mentality by paying the MechWarriors not salaries, but a fee for each mission. It was next to impossible for the units to procure parts. On their list of units, the Procurement Department had the Legion of Vega at the very bottom, even lower than the mercenary units, and the Procurement Department will often go out of its way to delay the few supplies approved for the Legion of Vega.<ref name=HKDCp147/> Discipline was almost nonexistent and motivating this group of misfits was difficult, and usually come down to offering them bonuses or threatening executions to get them moving.
