The Serpentum Legion
----------------------------------------------------
- Spoiler:
The Serpentum Legion one of the backbone forces of the Imperium consisting mainly of Varanidae in which the de-facto leadership of the military are an part of.The Legion differs from most military forces in the galaxy as each legionnaire is an disciplined fighting machine living to the core tenants of the Legion.They are one of the more elite forces in the Imperium.
Each legionnaire is an warrior,an servant that swore an oath of service to the Imperium..An oath if broken is punishable by death if the Court is merciful.Only after an full 15 years of grueling training can an Varanus hold the glorious title of legionnaire,their training makes them more then an formidable force on their own and if commanded by an skilled tactician one would discover that legionaries can be far more deadly then any weapon in the Imperium.
The Legion owes it success to their rock-hard discipline,organization and training which could easily pit squad of legionaries against an single spartan.If the legion fails it simply learns from it's losses and adapts it's strategy to ensure victory in the next.
Besides the feared legion infantry the Legion also contains the armored divisions of the Imperium,powerful machines of war that would pave the way in any battlefield with the Legion charging banner first behind.
The Legion wages war according to ancient doctrines,their situation and of course the strategies of their calculating commanders.
During maritime the Legion would pit their Legions against each-other in war games usually hosted on Argatu.
However seeing the Legion outside the Imperial Core systems is rare as the Legion is kept in reserve for major conflicts.

The Hospitaliers----------------
The Imperial Hospitaliers are the former Farnin citizens turned into
Scytians and now serve the empire as pain tolerant medical shock troopers,going headlong into enemy fire to recover fallen soldiers whilst cutting down those would prevent them from carrying out their duty.
Some question the unquestioning loyalty these troops have to their officers,some say their 'therapy' is also part of an mind-control experiment,the empire however denies these rumors citing them as rebellious thought aimed at destabilizing the unity of the Imperium.
