Confederate Foreign Legion

The Confederate Foreign Legion was a unique unit within the Confederate Defence Force established in 17 ABY. The legion was specifically created for alien species wishing to serve in the Confederate Armed Forces, but commanded by Confederate officers. However, it was also open to Confederate citizens, who amounted to 34% of the recruits as of 17 ABY.

The Legion was known as an elite military unit whose training focused not only on traditional military skills but also on its strong esprit de corps. As its members came from different cultures, this was a widely accepted solution to strengthen them enough to work as a team. Consequently, training was often described as not only physically challenging, but also extremely stressful psychologically.
