From Flight From Darkness

Revision as of 04:09, 24 March 2012

The Last Legion, as the remainder of Lookshy's government and Military are calling themselves, are unusual aboard the Dream in that they claim sovereignty separate from that of the ship and the Captain. According to the members of the Last Legion, the fall of Lookshy does not absolve them of their duties anymore than the fall of the Shogunate absolved their ancestors during the Balorian Crusade. If they follow the orders of the Bridge Crew, it is because the two powers have made an alliance. Last Legion personnel are permitted to take positions with the Dream of Sweet Rain's regular crew, but they are expected to remain loyal to the Legion and to report to the Legion in the event of an emergency. The Legion cooperates with but views itself as separate from the Security and External Defense Corps, and the Legion claims the right as the Lookshyan government-in-exile to both make and enforce laws on its own citizens.

Members:

The Last Legion is primarily made up of those who were on active military duty when Lookshy fell, but it also includes a number of formerly civilian Lookshyans who rejoined the Legion aboard the ship. The Legion is led by their Chumyo and commanded by the General Staff, all of whom were much lower-ranked military officers "promoted" from related fields to their current positions by Maheka Vinh (who was herself elected by the Legion as a whole) to ensure stability.
