Unit Brief
The 8th Free Worlds Leagionnaries was a Combined Arms Regimental Combat Team formation. They served as part Captain-General Thomas Marik loyal federal forces of the Free Worlds League.
History
The 8th was officially commission into service in 3061. The unit has since been re-assigned to Atreus as part of its garrison force as of 3067.[1]
In 3072 the Eighth Legion redeployed to fight the remains of the 2nd Knights of the Inner Sphere. Though they had received a great deal of upgrades and new equipment, the Knights eluded them for several years. Eventually, however, the 8th destroyed the few surviving Knights of the Inner Sphere with some help from the 2nd Free Worlds Legionnaires.[2] Shortly thereafter, the 2nd and 8th Legions unleashed years of pent-up fury on the Word of Blake's 30th Division, destroying the unit completely on Atreus.[3]
Officers
As of 3067, the Commanding Officer of the unit was General Beatrice Sibleyras.[4]
