The Legion also employs a robust spy network run by its Frumentarii agents, who engage in espionage and commit acts of sabotage behind the frontlines. Without such commanders, the regular Legionaries typically become disorganized and much easier to defeat. However, the extreme discipline and obedience of the lower ranks require a strong chain of command to guide the soldiers on the battlefield. The enemy would wear itself out dealing with the first two waves, with the veterans mopping up any remaining resistance. Their battle doctrine has legionaries deployed in waves, with recruits upfront, prime soldiers behind them, and veterans or commanders bringing up the rear. Such was the fate of Ulysses' tribe, the Twisted Hairs of Arizona. To divide and conquer these tribes more easily, they often allied with one and together defeated another tribe before breaking the alliance and absorbing them into the Legion as well.
Under Caesar's rule, the Legion became an imperialistic, totalitarian dictatorship that would go on to conquer 87 tribes. However, Joshua chose to stay with Caesar and act as his second in command, now referred to as the Malpais Legate. Caesar then sent the team away to return to the Followers, warning them not to interfere in the Legion's campaigns. He later crowned himself "Caesar" and decreed that all peoples and tribes under him would set aside their old identities and embrace his vision of a society modeled after the Romans, even using a mix of English and Latin as their nation's language. Under his guidance, the Blackfoots defeated and subjugated neighboring tribes, which came to regard Swallow as their chieftain. Related: Fallout Wishes New Vegas a Happy 11th Birthday
Against the advice of the rest of the Followers, he taught the Blackfoots the art of advanced warfare and battle tactics based off his knowledge of the ancient Roman Empire. At the same time, the Blackfoots were at war with seven other tribes, and Edward feared they would be killed along with the tribals, who were on the brink of losing.
At some point in their travels, they were captured by the Blackfoot tribe with the intent of being held for ransom. How this army from seemingly out of time became a major faction is complicated to say the least, and it starts in 2246, when the Followers of the Apocalypse sent a group to the Grand Canyon to study the regions tribal dialects.Īmong them was the young scientist Edward Sallow and the Mormon missionary Joshua Graham. In Fallout: New Vegas, it doesn't take long for Courier Six to hear tales of Caesar's Legion, but it isn't until they lay eyes on the smoldering ruins of Nipton that they'll realize just how brutal and terrifying they are.
