Resumen del Editor

For three and a half centuries the Paladi and the Senate collaborated to maintain a fragile peace across the 404 habitable worlds of the Interstellar Network Alliance Commonwealth. Before the Discord. Before the Civil War
. . . . then came the Legion.

This double feature explores the Antori Legion from two different perspectives.

"The Legionnaire" recounts the career of First Spear Sergeant Pullo from his birth into the first generation of standard conscripts, through years of training, war, and promotion, up to his final battle in the Interstellar Civil War. Pullo experiences the brutal rigors of a child soldier drafted into the technologically advanced army of a dystopian regime. While he is not a particularly good soldier, his enthusiastic manner, truthful insights, brutal honesty, and penchant for good luck see him readily beloved by all his brothers throughout the Legion.

"Birth of the Legion" begins with a review of the events that led up to and allowed for the creation of the Antori Legion. It continues by exploring various accounts of the growth and training of many generations and specializations of legionnaires. The story concludes with an account of "The Battle of Gnosos," the first full-scale engagement in the Interstellar Civil War, from the perspective of Captain Remy and other legionnaires featured in "Astral Meridian Ascendant" and "Astral Meridian Retrograde."
