true starting point of this is unknown, since the full extent of the infiltration is still under investigation

  Methods

spies

sleeper agents

sabotage

  The Legion's main goal was to divide and conquer. They planted spies in pivotal roles to gather information and sow seeds of distrust among decision makers. With planted evidence, they made conspiracies seem reasonable, and faith in the Protectorate Alliance.
 

aside: as with much of history, it's impossible to say what level of influence the Legion has had on the Protectorate's waning value.

 

includes the Legion's covert insertion of spies, abduction of residents, and implantation of mind control chips

their spies and sleeper agents were used to sow chaos and mistrust, sabotaging equipment and planting the seeds of conspiracies

  Events

takeover of archive

battle for talmar

 

ends with the battle for talmar, which destroyed the major invading force and ended the threat of mind control

also includes the Legion's takeover of the island housing the Preceptor Archive on Mithorous

  Aftermath

long-lasting distrust

permanent psionic damage

legion cells remain

perimeter

structures on talmar & uplifting

It's impossible to know for sure, but the Legion is largely blamed for ushering in the current age of mistrust

people could no longer trust their own thoughts and actions, nor those of the people around them. are coworkers and leaders who they said they were, or were they legionnaire spies? or being controlled by them?

even when spies were discovered and removed, harm to alliances, partnerships, and collaborations can't be so easily restored

though the main invading force was defeated, and many spies were routed out, many legion cells remain. their bases hide on asteroids, moons, and in uninhabited reaches of habited planets

despite the heavy loss they suffered, they still have a formidable force maintaining control over rada

the average person sees the legion as little more than a distant boogeyman, but those more directly impacted may fear them the rest of their lives
