He considers himself mentor and friend to Marius, as far as his station allows it.
     
    Composition of a Marian Mechanized Infantry Legion
  • This is the proposed composition of for the infantry legion briefly mentioned in Chapter 2. It's something the Hegemony can set up relatively easy using domestic production, as far as the bulk of the equipment is concerned.

    The bottlenecks here are the attached support element (lower right corner), which mostly need to be imported, and the dearth of experienced officers, given the current size of the Marian forces. There is also the issue that the Hegemony is trying to set up it's first combined arms formation at the same time by turning Legio I into their version of an RCT.

    Optimistically, the full formation will be combat ready but rated Green by 3015 as more focus is on Legio I.
