The Draken Legion

The Legion of Xanthos
"We serve Xanthos, creator of our homeworld, devourer of souls and worlds. Those we conquer become slaves or killed for the joy of Xanthos."

The Legion of Xanthos, more commonly referred to as The Draken Legion are bloodthirsty, battle-crazed, and religiously fanatical to their God, Xanthos. Hailing from the world of Drak the Draken people are the majority of those serving with the Legion, however since its founding other species like the Beastkin have been assimilated or voluntarily joined the Legion. Led by warriors and demons of supernatural skill and powers the Legion has cut a swathe of destruction in every sector the enter. Not much is known about the Legion as every civilization they encounter is either destroyed, assimilated, or sacrificed to their cruel God.

The History of the Legion
The founding and early history of the Legion is unknown, however in 2344 the Legion launched an offensive against the United Terran Republic in a decade long war to seize the outer worlds of the Milky Way. The UTR proved too strong for the Legion and so the forces of Xanthos retreated back to their shrouded galaxy. From their worlds the Legion spread across systems, integrating the Beastkin in 2670, the new warriors proved just as brutal as the Draken themselves, finding pleasure in killing.

In 3089 a warrior named Sotek was chosen by Xanthos to lead the Legion, who launched a new offensive against the now disunited Milky Way Galaxy. Seizing planets on the outer rim of the Milky Way, The Legion has become emboldened to launch attacks into the Sol System itself, raiding the diaspora of nations who claim the planets there.

Species of the Legion
Draken: The Draken no longer look like their original forms, the hellish landscape their home world has become and the enhancements given to them by their masters has twisted them into monstrosities of war.

Beastkin: The Beastkin are bipedal creatures of a Forest/plain world found in the Cloud. Assimilated into the Legion the Beastkin use primitive kinetic weaponry, however their innate knowledge of nature borders on sorcery and some are said to be able to disappear in natures embrace.
