Background / History

Xiao Ran founded the Burning Legion in Prometheus with Winnie’s assistance. He chose a standard-sized base, named it “Burning,” and finalized a white emblem built from a mirrored Horde-style motif surrounding a lion head. He selected Dark Vision and Restoration as the legion’s initial skills. As leader, he received supreme authority over its rules, resources, membership benefits, followers, and registered warships. 542

The legion’s early rules were developed by Cruze and the 25th Fleet staff department using the Unified Army and S.M.S. regulations as references. They preserved Xiao Ran’s authority while granting members relative autonomy and access to discounted repairs, supplies, parts, skills, mecha, and warships. Members were bound by confidentiality and loyalty requirements; members who left would lose memories concerning the Legion and return its rewards. 550

Despite being newly formed and containing many inexperienced participants, the Burning Legion deployed all fifty-three members on its first Legion Mission in the 00 World. It later divided its forces into six major brigades for a Special Mission in the OG world, with Mwu appointed captain and Xiao Ran retaining overall command. 875 1090

Its repeated mission victories brought technologies, personnel, and Faction Territories from multiple worlds. The Legion subsequently expanded through subordinate legions, strategic alliances, commercial agreements, and Legion War settlements, becoming a major force in both the Super Zone and Real Zone. 1802 2264 2656 2739
