Primarch: Franklin Valorian
Legion Name: Liberty Eagles
Our Legion's name was a constant reminder of our dual purpose - to soar above the challenges that faced humanity, and to bring the light of freedom to the darkest corners of the galaxy.
Color Scheme:
- Primary Colors:
Deep navy blue (main armor)
Rich crimson red (secondary elements like trim or details)
Accents:
Brilliant white stars scattered across pauldrons and knee pads (resembling stars from the American flag)
Emblem:
Aquila emblem prominently displayed on the chest, rendered in gold
The sight of our Legion deploying for battle was truly something to behold. The deep blue of our armor represented the vast skies and oceans of Nova Libertas and Terra, the red the blood we were willing to shed for humanity, and the white stars the light of hope we brought to the oppressed.
Combat Doctrine:
1. Overwhelming Firepower:
Our Legion took the concept of "shock and awe" to a whole new level. We didn't just believe in bringing enough guns to a fight - we believed in bringing ALL the guns.
"Remember, boys," I often told my sons, "there's no such thing as overkill. There's only 'open fire' and 'I need to reload'."
We developed Legion-specific heavy weapons that would have made the Mechanicum weep with envy. The Liberator-pattern Rotary Cannon, for instance, could lay down a rate of fire that turned entire battlefields into no-man's lands in seconds.
2. Rapid Deployment:
Taking a page from the ancient Airborne divisions, we specialized in getting our forces on the ground fast and hard.
Our drop pods, sleeker and more maneuverable than standard Imperial designs, could insert entire companies with pinpoint accuracy. We called them "Freedom Bells" - because when they landed, freedom rang.
We also made extensive use of gunships for air support and troop transport. The Stormbird-Liberty variant, equipped with advanced ECM and point-defense systems, could dance through the heaviest anti-air fire to deliver its payload.
3. Combined Arms:
We didn't believe in fighting with one hand tied behind our back. Every mission saw a carefully coordinated dance of infantry, armor, and air support.
Our Armored divisions, equipped with Tanks the Size of a Hablock, provided the hammer to our infantry's anvil. The Liberty-pattern Baneblade, with its enhanced targeting systems and reinforced armor, became the bane of enemy fortifications across the galaxy.
Specialized Units:
1. Minutemen Assault Squads:
Equipped with jump packs and specialized close-quarters weapons, these units were often the first to hit the ground in any engagement. Their ability to rapidly secure landing zones and key strategic points was unparalleled.
"When you absolutely, positively need someone there yesterday," I'd joke, "call the Minutemen. They'll probably beat you to the phone."
2. Ranger Long-Range Reconnaissance Squads:
These specialized units, equipped with advanced camouflage technology and long-range weaponry, operated deep behind enemy lines. Their ability to gather intelligence and disrupt enemy operations made them invaluable in any campaign.
3. SEAL (Space, Extraterrestrial, Assault, Liberation) Teams:
Elite even among the Astartes, these small, highly trained units specialized in high-risk, high-reward operations. From sabotage to assassinations to hostage rescue, if a job seemed impossible, it was probably because the SEALs hadn't been called in yet.
4. Green Beret Special Forces:
Experts in unconventional warfare, these units excelled at training and leading local resistance forces on occupied worlds. Their ability to multiply our Legion's effectiveness by leveraging indigenous populations was a key factor in many of our victories.
5. Marine Expeditionary Units:
Flexible, self-contained forces capable of operating independently for extended periods. These units combined infantry, armor, and air support into a single, cohesive force that could adapt to any battlefield situation.
Primarch Guards: The Secret Service
My personal guard, the Secret Service, took the concept of "protective detail" to extreme levels. Clad in Mechasuits, these warriors were walking fortresses, each capable of unleashing more firepower than an entire squad of regular Astartes.
"I call them my 'Subtle Reminders'," I once quipped to a visiting Imperial dignitary. "As in, they subtly remind everyone that messing with me is a really, really bad idea."
The Secret Service's tactical doctrine revolved around the concept of creating an impenetrable zone of protection around me. Their interlocking fields of fire could theoretically hold off even a swarm of Orkz, turning any area into a kill zone that enemies entered at their peril.
Each member of the Secret Service was handpicked not just for their combat prowess, but for their quick thinking and ability to operate independently. They were as much my advisors as they were my protectors, each one a veteran of countless campaigns.
As our Legion continued to grow and evolve, I couldn't help but feel a sense of pride in what we had accomplished. We had taken the best of what the Independence Cluster had to offer and combined it with the Emperor's vision for the Astartes, creating something truly unique in the process.
"You know," I mused to Denzel one day as we watched a combined arms exercise, "I think we might have just redefined the term 'military industrial complex'."
Denzel, ever the voice of reason, simply shook his head. "Sir, I'm pretty sure that term doesn't mean what you think it means."
I grinned, clapping him on the shoulder. "Details, details. The point is, we're changing the game. And let me tell you, it's a game I intend to win."
As the Eagles of Liberty soared from victory to victory across the galaxy, I knew that we were writing a new chapter in the history of the Imperium. We were more than just warriors - we were the embodiment of humanity's potential, a fusion of advanced technology and indomitable spirit.
And as for me? Well, I was just along for the ride, armed with a power sword in one hand, a joke in the other, and an entire Legion of transhuman badasses at my back.
The galaxy didn't stand a chance.

A/N: This should Be the Preliminary Version of the Legion and that is how The Primarch Sounds.
A/N:Still working on how to make Liberty and Freedom Grimdark though.💀
A/N: I got tired of the Serious AF atmosphere of 40k then I thought Why not make an American Based Primarch and Legion?
