501st Trivia

A long time ago, in a galaxy far far away, there used to be a 3rd Platoon known as “Decimate”. Due to heavy losses accrued during operations, among other factors, the platoon’s existence was decimated, and later rebuilt. Now they are known as the “Trench Platoon”, due to heavy entrenchments and being defense oriented during operations.

News Writers

The News Team has gone through some significant changes in the last week. We've done away with articles and newsletters being tied together to help us reach a much higher quality for our stories that we produce. We want to ensure we have high quality articles with important information regarding the internal structure of the 501st Legion. This move also allows us to further delegate information inside the news team much quicker than before. We are always looking for feedback, so we've opened polls and comments, which can be found below every posted news article.

DID YOU KNOW?

When you get engaged in an ambush, get on that belly and return fire. Whoever is in charge will know what to do next, just worry about hitting your target.

501st Trivia

Post your dogs, we're looking for dogs. Seriously.
