The Legion is an impressive tool of Operation Phoenix, providing an impressive addition to the powerful fighter coverage. It can launch its millions of SA-135 Wasp Drone Fighters and remotely control them. It can also produce the Wasps to replace those lost in battle.

The Legion has several protrusions at the mouth of its launch bay. These are used to create the pseudo-hyperphase field used to launch their Wasps into realspace as well as to transmit the control signals to the drones in combat. After a battle the Legion will jump out and sweep the battlefield for useful scrap material. It uses the protrusions' EM emitters to separate the useful scrap and useless scrap into the large factory under the main launch bay.

Useless scrap is refused back into space, whereas useful scrap is either processed to produce more Wasps or packaged to be used elsewhere. Wasps are recovered through the bay on the side of the fore section. The disparity between the size of this bay and the size of the main launch bay shows the high predicted losses of Wasps. When battle has concluded the Wasps line up to be picked up along the Legion's scrap gathering.

A majority of the Legion's mass is in the lower half of the fore section, including processing/production facilities, dedicated production reactors, etc. This mass is so great that the drive block has to be raised above the fore section. This hump provides the housing for a small escort ship, manned fighters for defence or extra storage space. Three or four Legions usually travel with a standard battle group.
