| | The Ascendant Legion was originally founded by [[Kal di Plagia Vorrac]] as a reorganization of the [[Jusadih Military Regime|Jusadih Military Regime's]] Branches in 33 ABY. After the departure of Commander Vorrac, the Branches split apart into factions of renegade troops and Dark Jedi and waged civil war against one another. Seeing that only cohesive, true Leadership could unite the Ascendant House and turn it against its enemies, the Dark Jedi who would become known as [[Primus Pilus]] led guerrilla assaults and deadly strikes against the rebellious factions until all were once again made to submit to the Quaestor’s authority. Following the resolution of this conflict, Quaestor [[Tra'an Reith]] reorganized the remnants of the old Army and Intelligence Branches into the Legion, placing the Army and the Directorate firmly and permanently under the command of the [[Plagueis Summit]]. |

| | == Organization == |
| | The Ascendant Legion is organized into three separate operational commands: Ground, Special Operations, and Aerospace. While General Benzayn is usually directly commanding one of the units that make up Ground Command, he is the overall commander of all three elements that make up the Legion as a whole. |
|
| |
|
| == Organization ==
| | Ground Command is itself divided into three units: [[Army Force Vornskr]], [[Army Force Rancor]], and [[Army Force Wampa]]. The three units are all part of the overall legion, and serve under the direction of the current Dread Lord. Rancor and Wampa, however, serve under the authority of the leaders of the Houses of Plagueis, Ajunta Pall and Karness Muur. Vornskr is a unit encompassing six regiments of troops and armor organized as a single division. Wampa and Rancor are both single regiments organized as combined arms units. |
|
| |
|
| The Ascendant Legion is comprised of two core branches, namely the Jusadih Armed Forces and Jusadih Intelligence Directorate. While operating under said names in public, both the Armed Forces and the Directorate are part of the Legion; during war, the Directorate will supply intelligence on the enemy while the Army handles ground combat. During peacetime, the Army assists local volunteer and employed security forces in Jusadih, while the Directorate handles any and all intel-sensitive or detective work.
| | Operating independently from the three Army Force units is the Special Operations Command. This command is smaller than the other three army units, only rating at the strength of two companies. This unit, in contrast to the Army Force units comprising the main body of the Legion, is made up of soldiers and droids trained to carry out the most dangerous and specialized missions. Sniper units, commandos, and specially programed droids make up the bulk of the SOC's forces. This unit is often assigned to work under the command auspices of Army Force Vornskr. |
|
| |
|
| == Army of Ascension ==
| | The final operational command of the Ascendant Legion is the Aerospace Command. The pilots of this unit are all specially trained to provide transport and air support to units of the other two operational commands. |

| The concept of the Regimental Combat Team (RCT) is new to the Army of Plagueis. What differentiates a RCT from a normal regiment is the possession of organic supporting units such as, artillery and aircraft, allowing the unit to conduct full spectrum operations as a stand alone entity. The 1st Armored Regimental Combat Team (1ARCT) serves as the Legion’s expeditionary and heavy assault unit. Comprising the 1ARCT are two identical Battalion Task Forces (BTF). Each BTF is a self-supporting unit containing organic armor, infantry, artillery, and air support. The infantry, one heavy infantry company per BTF, is divided into three platoons wit each platoon being attached to an AT-AT. Infantry, engineers, and medical personnel can also board the BTF’s MAAT for supporting air assault operations. This one example alone illustrates the flexibility of the RCTs and BTFs on the modern battlefield.

The 15 infantrymen remaining are attached to the engineer squad to provide protection as well as assist in some engineer duties. This is referred to as the “Sapper” platoon. A 30 man medical platoon has its own MAAT as well. The 11 men remaining from the medical platoon are trained in advance battlefield medicine and field surgery. The 19CO provides highly specialized breaching, air assault, and siege breaking assets to the battlefield. The 19CO is also used as a Quick Reaction Force (QRF) for units in danger of, or being, over run.

The Ascendant Legion is made up of all ground forces controlled by Clan Plagueis, the Ascendant Clan. Control by the Plagueis Summit and under the direct command of General Ranthe Benzayn, these hardened troops are completely loyal to their dark masters and obey the will of Ascension at all times. Originally formed in 33 ABY, the Legion has since evolved to become a ruthless force comprised of both slave and droid soldiers.
History
The Ascendant Legion was originally founded by Kal di Plagia Vorrac as a reorganization of the Jusadih Military Regime's Branches in 33 ABY. After the departure of Commander Vorrac, the Branches split apart into factions of renegade troops and Dark Jedi and waged civil war against one another. Seeing that only cohesive, true Leadership could unite the Ascendant House and turn it against its enemies, the Dark Jedi who would become known as Primus Pilus led guerrilla assaults and deadly strikes against the rebellious factions until all were once again made to submit to the Quaestor’s authority. Following the resolution of this conflict, Quaestor Tra'an Reith reorganized the remnants of the old Army and Intelligence Branches into the Legion, placing the Army and the Directorate firmly and permanently under the command of the Plagueis Summit.
Organization
The Ascendant Legion is organized into three separate operational commands: Ground, Special Operations, and Aerospace. While General Benzayn is usually directly commanding one of the units that make up Ground Command, he is the overall commander of all three elements that make up the Legion as a whole.
Ground Command is itself divided into three units: Army Force Vornskr, Army Force Rancor, and Army Force Wampa. The three units are all part of the overall legion, and serve under the direction of the current Dread Lord. Rancor and Wampa, however, serve under the authority of the leaders of the Houses of Plagueis, Ajunta Pall and Karness Muur. Vornskr is a unit encompassing six regiments of troops and armor organized as a single division. Wampa and Rancor are both single regiments organized as combined arms units.
Operating independently from the three Army Force units is the Special Operations Command. This command is smaller than the other three army units, only rating at the strength of two companies. This unit, in contrast to the Army Force units comprising the main body of the Legion, is made up of soldiers and droids trained to carry out the most dangerous and specialized missions. Sniper units, commandos, and specially programed droids make up the bulk of the SOC's forces. This unit is often assigned to work under the command auspices of Army Force Vornskr.
The final operational command of the Ascendant Legion is the Aerospace Command. The pilots of this unit are all specially trained to provide transport and air support to units of the other two operational commands.

Rank Structure
While the legion operated by Clan Plagueis is overseen by free officers, the non-commissioned portions of the legion ranks are entirely made up of slave soldiers. As such, a formalized rank structure does not exist for those below officer rank within the army. The officer's rank insignia are worn on each side of the collar.
