Aren't there only 100 Legions?

 

 

Ludo, 78th is yours.

 

Chrome, In the old fluff there was 101. The 1st Legion was always stationed on Terra, so they made the 101, so that there was 100 legions to be deployed else where. I have no knowledge about the new fluff.

Ok then, I'll take the 101st.

I just decided to go look it up.  There are *at least* 100 active Legions at all times, by law. That number would ramp up during war, to almost 300.  

 

The 1st is the memorial legion that rosters every soldier ever killed in battle. The 2nd-9th are permanently stationed on Earth as a home defense force. 

 

 

CAV 2 rule book fluff:

The Terran military, headquartered near the rebuilt city of Dallas, Texas, is divided into “Legions†and “Fleets†with its overall commander being the Terran Supreme Councilor. Beneath him are the individual branch commanders of the “wet†navy, the ground forces, and the “space†navy. Terran law dictates that no fewer than one hundred Legions will be maintained at fighting strength along with their support and transport assets. As the First Legion is purely memorial, the actual
fighting Legions are the Second through the One Hundred and First. The Second through Ninth Legions are headquartered on Earth permanently as a sort of “Praetorian Guard†as well as where the newest Terran soldiers learn their craft before being assigned to the “line Legionsâ€. Each member state of the Terran Federation also maintains “reserve Legions†that can be pressed into service in time of need. This gives the Terran military a total fighting strength of almost three hundred legions.
