| LEGIONS OF ATLANTIS
Legion Organisation An Atlantean legion is recruited from Atlantean natives and foreign mercenaries and is designed to be a stand alone formation which can support friendly powers and punish unfriendly ones. Aten’s Cohort - Headquarters 700 Sun Cohort - Infantry 700 Spark Cohort - artillery and engineers 700
Mother Cohort - Infantry 700 Crone Cohort - Infantry 700 TOTAL 4900 An unusual feature of the Altantean military system is that ALL Officers are part of the Navy hence the scarlet tunic clad legionaries are officered by blue uniformed Naval personnel. LEGION OFFCIERS Cohort Officers Each Cohort is commanded by a Major whom is usually a 3rd, 2nd or 1st Lieutenant – they wear a diagonal Red sash and taboosh and a golden helmet to identify themselves, they are also the Centurion of the Dragon (3rd) Century of the Cohort. A Spark Cohort’s Deputy Major does not wear a golden helmet. A Century is commanded by a junior Officer (often a Midshipman or Sub-lieutenant, less often a Sailing Master or 3rd lieutenant,) they wear a diagonal sash and have gold inlay on their helmet or alternative headgear. They are assisted by a Deputy Centurion who is either a senior NCO or Midshipmen who wear an appropriate coloured taboosh for their century round their waists. Officers also wear broaches of their Cohorts symbol on their right chest - these are in Brass for Deputy Centurions, Silver for Centurions and Gold for Majors. Often they will have a piece of cloth pinned behind in the colour of their century (Also common behind their hat broaches.) Legion Officers Legions Prefect is its commander. He is elected by the Senate to the Post for a period of time. He may wear rank from regular service or have the stripes and feathers of a commodore. He will wear a taboosh, diagonal sash and cape in the colours and proportions of the Legion’s piping and carries a baton. A Deputy Prefect is elected with the prefect or chosen by him after election. He may wear rank from regular service or have the stripes and feathers of a commodore. He will wear a taboosh and diagonal sash in the colours and proportions of the Legion’s piping and carries a (smaller) baton. The Chief of Staff usually Post Captain, chief planning officer and 3rd in command of the Legion simply has a diagonal sash in the colours and proportions of the Legions piping in addition to his normal rank distinctions The Adjutant usually Post Captain, responsible for discipline who the Gendarme Centurion answers to, wears a taboosh in the colours and proportions of the Legions piping. The Quartermaster and his deputy simply wear a lanyard in the colours and proportions of the Legions Piping All these Officers are accompanied by a standard bearer to aid recognition on the battlefield (the precise standard chosen just before to confuse the enemy.) Specialist Officers Please not all badges noted are in addition to any officers may wear as a Centurion of Deputy Centurion. PADRES The Church of Aten treats all Legions are a mobile diocese with a Legion Bishop and council. All wear Yellow capes with their travelling clothes. They may effect legionnaire or (Naval) Officer dress but are in fact part of neither though subject to the Articles of War. The Bishop wears a large purple tabard inscribed with the golden triangle and yin-yang of Aten his Vicar General, Chancellor, Vice Chancellor, Legion Deacon and Legion Treasurer will usually wear one bearing the symbol of another of the aspects. This does leave a aspect unrepresented but this is seen as appropriate as war is a very ‘unbalanced’ business. SIGNALS AND INTELLGENCE Signalmen wear an open book badge under their Century/Cohort identifying patch. Buglers wear a bugle badge. Intelligence officers wear a crossed looking glass and quill badge under their Century/Cohort identifying bade. MEDICS Medical officers are either Barbers-Surgeons (apprentices) or Surgeons who have passed university and regarded as fully qualified. Barber-Surgeons wear Naval Warrant Officer dress – i.e. A Dark Blue Plebeian clothing with a legion forage cap or helmet and a crossed Saw/Clamp badge under their Cohort/Century patch. Centaury Surgeons wear full naval officers uniform but with no rank distinctions and an entwined serpents with a staff brass broach. On their right chest and patch on their chuffs. The Legion Surgeon has the same but in gold and with a cuff piping in the Legions colours while his Deputy’s Badge is Silver. The arrangements for Vets are the same as those for Surgeons while farriers have the same arrangements as Barber Surgeons. The badge for both classes however is a horses head SPARK COHORT All Engineer officers wear a Fort badge under their century identification to distinguish them from their Artillery Colleagues in the Spark Cohort who have a crossed cannon badge. The Chief Engineer and Chief Gunner wear much larger version of these badges. GENADRAMES Like their men Gendarmes officers have a Cap with a peak, wear a silvered gorget and have all their equipment bright white. WAGONNERS Wagonner Officers have a Cartwheel badge on their chest under the Cohort/Century patch. Their Vets wear both badges.
