Imperial Foreign Armada

A concept as old as Earth, Foreign Soldiers wishing to become Citizens offer their Military service.
The Imperial Foreign Armada (IFA), also commonly Referred to as the Legion, is a Full Spectrum Armed Organization meaning that it covers everything from Ground, Orbital, Space, Deep space and most other aspects like Sea and Air Warfare if necessary. As the name might suggest, the Foreign Armada is open for Foreigners and by joining allow the Legionnaires to attain Citizenship after a two-decade service. While this might seem long, it is not very in the grand scheme and measured against the average lifespans of Individuals. Anyone who obtains Citizenship that way, ensures that their Family and offspring also will be citizens, which is not always guaranteed.
Civilians of the Imperium can also join, especially permanent Residents and the downtrodden Citizens take up this offer as this can lift them up socially or Politically if that is their goal. Due to this, there is a notable difference in the ranks with most Foreigners being Rank and file while many Officers are Residents or Citizens already. Especially Favored here are Lower Nobles or Pariahs trying to restore their names.

The Foreign Armada is not directly controlled by any Command, instead by the Supreme HQ directly, allowing them to be Quickly deployed. As they are Combined assets, Naval and Ground forces they work together as one unit without a difference in Leadership. However, the Legion highly Favors Infantry and ground-based Combat over all its other Capabilities.
The Imperial Legionnaires are equipped decently for their purpose, with their own Distinct look and due to the Flexibility, they have, the Brutal training and their Reputation for Shock and Awe Tactics, are feared by friend and foe alike. For their foes, the quick and unrelenting assaults are difficult to weather and rely on breaking the spirit of their enemy rather than just getting the upper hand. For their allies, since they are faster in decision making on a larger scale and have a reputation for not always communicating their next actions, can lead to Friendly Fire incidents and in extreme cases full on Assaults on Friendly positions. All of this gives them an Ominous Reputation, though highly effective at what they do, not always very precise or caring. This Goes for civilian and Military Targets.
