The Dark Legion is an ancient evil comprising five "Dark Apostles" and their horde of hideous mutants and undead. The Dark Legion is the corporeal presentation of Dark Symmetry and minions of the Dark Apostles. The Dark Legion commands the most powerful armies of the solar system, including Legionnaires, resurrected corpses of fallen Megacorp heroes and footsoldiers alike; Necromutants, hideously modified humanoids; Centurions, the lethal lieutenants of the Dark Legion; and Nepharites, fearsome, towering behemoths of unimaginable power.
The reign of the Dark Legion began as mankind set foot on
Nero, the tenth planet beyond the orbit of Pluto, where they discovered a citadel.
As they entered, the Imperial Conquistadors – a group of interplanetary explorers
– accidentally broke the First Seal Of Repulsion, a thin ring of salt spread
around the citadel. Inside, a mysterious iron plate was found, and as it was
touched, the Dark Legion was brought to our dimension, and along with it, the
Dark Symmetry.
The Dark Symmetry prevents computers, "thinking
engines", and other electronic devices from functioning reliably, if at all
and initially caused complete chaos, and then a forced adaptation of the
technology used by mankind. The Dark Symmetry also begins to spread plague,
lies, illusions and war on the human population through Dark Apostles known as
Demnogonis, Semai, Muawihje, Algeroth and Ilian, The Dark Mistress and most
powerful wielder of The Dark Symmetry. Thus the first Corporate wars began.
Only through the Brotherhood and its first Cardinal, Nathaniel Durand were the
corporations pulled under one banner, driving back the Dark Legion and Dark
Symmetry back to the void where it came.
This however cost Nathaniel Durand his life as he fought and
defeated Algeroth, the field commander of all of the Dark Legion and the master
of Dark Technology. Dark Legion resurfaces as a milennia passes, old edicts to
keep the evil at bay are broken and Megacorps begin the 2nd Corporate wars. Yet
again Nero is explored and Dark Symmetry is unleashed. It was also during the
period of 1000-year peace that Cybertronic surfaced and was first to break one
of the edicts; Human must not create or use machines that think like man.
