A Basilean legion numbers between one thousand and ten thousand men. Unlike those of the Republic, the legions of the Hegemon are not self-contained military organisations, but specialised formations – light cavalry, infantry, heavy cavalry and so forth, albeit with some divergence in equipment and role within the legion. Infantry is by far the most predominant, as cavalry has increasingly come to be provided by the orders of Paladins. Most common are units armed with the ‘koliskos’, a broad-bladed spear in use since before the age of the Republic, and with the simple but effective ‘daga’ sword. The soldiers are heavily armoured, clad in chain or scale mail depending on where they were raised and additionally protected by large winged shields often embossed with the sun emblem of Basilea. | |||
