Roll 1d10
1-2
Agressive
This legion excels when on the attack, being skilled at overcoming fortified positions and taking control of territory as fast as possible.
3-4
Defensive
This legion is adept at fighting defensively, and is exceptionally difficult to defeat when it has had enough time to entrench itself or has found a defensible position.
5-6
Psychological
This legion is especially capable at waging psychological warfare.  They know how to successfully employ terror tactics to break an enemy’s will to fight as well as how to pacify a rebellious populace

9-10

Guild of the Sun
This legion is cordially aligned with the Guild of the Sun, and thus fields knights and warriors associated with Celestia and weapons created by said guild.

Friendship
Roll 1d10

Thanks to a close relationship with their Guild patron, this legion has a larger complement of knights than most other legions and has more immediate access to the latest technological weapons developed by the guild in question.
4-6
The Inquisition
The legion has a close relationship with the Inquisition and because of their mutual understanding, the Inquisition has attached a larger and better trained complement of their own battle priests to the legion.  Furthermore, the Inquisition is less likely to scrutinize members of the legion.
7-9
The Citizenry
The legion is fairly well-known and well-liked amongst the Unicorn citizens of House Moon and Star.  Several Unicorn Supremacist groups support the legion on the home front, and Prince Shining Armor and Princess Cadence are willing to speak out on the legion’s behalf at times.
10
Archmagister Sparkle
The legion has caught the attention and appreciation of Archmagister Sparkle herself.  While she can be both demanding and aloof at times, she is an immensely powerful ally and can provide the legion with all manner of recourses and assistance should the legion have need of it.

What did the Hero do?
Roll 1d10
1-2
This Hero personally dueled a renowned warrior and slew him in single combat.  The story of his duel is well-known throughout the legion and it inspires many of its members to great feats of valor.
3-4
This Hero refused to break formation and held the line in the face of overwhelming numbers, killing many foes and rallying his comrades at a desperate time.  Many within the legion credit the Hero’s actions for helping secure victory in that battle.
5-6
The Hero played a critical role in destroying a military force that had been harassing the legion and attacking its supply lines for weeks.  Initially captured by said forces, the Hero broke free of his bonds under the cover of night and led his comrades to the enemy camp, where the enemy was slaughtered en masse.
7-8
The Hero, against all odds, was able to lead a squad of legionnaire soldiers in the midst of a daring raid into enemy territory.  Confronted with fierce foes and cut off from support, the squad credits their survival and success largely to the Hero’s efforts.
9-10
If not for the Hero, the legion could have very well suffered a terrible fate from an enemy hiding within the legion.  The Hero recognized that the legion had been infiltrated and was being destroyed by an enemy hiding within the ranks, and thanks to this Hero the conspirators were captured and swiftly put to death.


Current Legions of House Moon and Star

Legion I

>Legion I is also known as "The Eye Legion". Originally composed mostly of pegasi, this Legion was wracked with infighting during the Canterlot riots, and became under-strength as a result. Nearly destroyed during the fighting for Stalliongrad, Legion I was reconstituted as a highly trained and elite force.

>Legion I's primary function is force reconnaissance and safe-guarding high-value M&S members. However, the Legion is most often used as a tool for the Inquisition.

Legion II

>Not Made. Should be a pre-ED Legion that Celestia kept around.

Legion III

>Not Made. Should be the very first Moon and Star Legion made on the house's own behalf. Should be a bit generic, but has an august history.

Legion IV

>Not Made. For the sake of Legion V's lore, this Legion should be the very first Sun Guild Legion, and have tactics and equipment that reflects this fact. Ideally should be very large, to form a contrast to Legion V.

Legion V

>Created in response to Legion IV, the 5th Legion serves the Moon Guild, and utterly embodies it. A small and precise force, the Legion specialises in Guerrilla warfare, operating deep behind enemy lines, and delivering precise, but potent attacks.

>The darkly clad 5th Legion has a bitter rivalry with the gleaming 4th Legion, but the Legion's greatest enemy is Whitegold's Mercenaries. Since Legion V is incredibly discreet, Twilight Sparkle prefers to combat her intrigues with this Legion. Battles between paid Whitegold mercenaries and Legion V are usually low-key, but both sides furiously deny accountability.

Legion VI
>Not Made

Legion VII
>Not Made

Legion VIII
>Not Made

Legion IX
>Not Made

Legion X
>Not Made

Legion XI
>"Blaze Guards"
Created recently as a Garrison force to defend M&S cities, Legion XI is well known for it's use of Knights of Celestia who hold the line while sun cannons and Marksmages rain the wrath of the sun upon their enemies. Led by Inquisitor Star Blaze, this legion has won the love and admiration of the common folk, and are seen as an unbreakable defense against the constant raids of Stormwing and Whitegold attacks.

Legion XII and Beyond.

>Free for taking. Should be created years after M&S founding, though.


CREATED, BUT NOT SPECIFIED LEGIONS

>Old Legion specializing in Psychological warfare, and is hated by The Cult. Affiliated with the Moon Guild.(This is Legion II material)

>A new Legion that is primarily defensive in nature, and is affiliated with the Sun Guild. It's loyalty to the citizenry, and it's disfavored status with the Inquisition makes this Legion suspect

>A new Legion, that specializes in Urban combat, and is stationed in Stalliongrad. Has taken severe casualties in fighting with Stormwing, but a Slave warrior became a hero and slew a Pegasus of major importance. This Slave hero has endeared the Legion to the Citizenry.
