Star System: Terra Name: Senatus Populesque Romanus Power Type: Nation Date: This the 32nd Day of the Ides, In the Year of the Consuls Titus Galenus Aratus and Lucius Antonius Tiberinus, 4757 Ab Urbe Condita A.U.C.(February 1,1005) Total starting Nation Points: 1000 Heads of State: Pro-Praetor Flavius Curius Strabo, Imperator Casca Rufius Longinus National Flag: In the Legends of Nova Roma, that are lost in the misty haze of time, it is said that Iuppiter and Mars had forseen the time when Roma Mater would be overcome by the barbarians. Iuppiter despaired of ever seeing his children out among the stars. So he along with Mars began to weave the ether and created Novae Roma, an exact replica of Sol, and deposited there Romans whom he deemed worthy to carry on the name Roman. These humans had to display all the virtues of a true Roman and these virtues were: Officium (Duty), Aequitas (Respect), Gravitas (Dignity), Nobilitas (Nobility), Concordia (Harmony), Humanitas (Culture), Pietas (piety), Virtus (Courage), Firmitas (Tenacity), Industria (Hard Work). These Romans had more in common with Seneca and Cicero than with Commodous and Nero. As Iuppiter had forseen only true Romans would prosper and eventually make it to the stars. But what is a Roman without conflict? So Mars placed on Novae Roma, humans from other cultures that he deemed worthy to fight the Imperium for the fate of the new world Iuppiter and he had created. If these Romans were not worthy, then none would be. It would be an interesting fight either way. In the Year 4657 A.U.C. Ab Urbe Condita, the Romans had shown they were worthy of Iuppiter and Mars. For they had finally conquered the Orbis Sericum (Chinese Sphere) and united Novae Roma under the Pax Romana. FROM THE HISTORIES OF TACITUS: "That was the 'official' reason. What most of the Darkfire command knew was that they needed to keep the Romans from rallying the independent Planets to their banner. The thought of the armies of the outworlds led by Roman Legions had caused many a nightmare in the Darkfire high command. So the decision had been made to hit the Romans first, before they could rally the other worlds. And that was when it all went wrong for the Darkfire Empire. The Campaign had been a nightmare for the Darkfire, the initial landings were slaughtered by the Urban Cohorts! Not even the regular army but the city militia! then it got even worse. The Emperor committed the Romans to the wiping out of the landings and to bring the war to the Darkfire. The Darkfire clones could only move when the stellar navy provided fire support, but even with that their losses were horrendous. The Urban Cohorts had to be killed to the man, they would not surrender, yet to assault their field fortifications was organized murder. The loss rates were to run about 80 to 90% of the attaking force to take the positions from the Romans. The Darkfire losses began to mount into the hundreds of thousands. Then the Legions arrived. To say the legions slaughtered the clones would be an understatement. Led by the Equities Augusti Singulares (Imperial Horse Guard) Armored Legion and the Cohors Amazona (Amazonian Guard) Mechanized Infantry Legion, they tore into the Darkfire formations. When the Guard units hit the Darkfire lines, the Navy made it's sortie and drew off any possible orbital fire to the ground formations. The armored Legions broke through the Darkfire flanks and surrounded most of the Darkfire landing zones. Then the Infantry Legions dismounted and activated their Force Shields. In perfect unison and complete silence they advanced on the clone formations. If a Leginonaire was hit he never made a sound. the only sound was the sound of armored feet, in perfect unison, moving forward towrads the doomed clones. The clones fired with everything they had, but nothing seemd to work. Most if not all infantry fire was absorbed by those damnable shields the Legionaires wielded. What fire that did get through was not enough, some Legionaires dropped, but not enough to halt the Romans. The Legionaires advanced and finally reached the clone lines. They in unison stopped firing their autocannons and grabbed their force swords. Imagine an ancient Roman Gladius that has a solid pommel and made out of a monomolecular wide blade made of pure energy. There was no sound as the tangs on the Gladii opened and the force blades sprang into being. When the legions of the Emperor reached the clones, the true slaughter began. Something happened midway through the slaughter, the clones began to run. They may have been brainwashed, but a brain they do have. These advancing silent black death-dealing monstrosities could not be stopped, eventually the instinct to survive began to kick in. What they did not realise was this was exactly what Marius had been counting on; breaking the enemies will to resist reduces the losses of your own. One thing that had endeared him to the current Emperor. Marius had set the Ala (Armored) Legions in position to catch the fleeing troops before they could reach their landing ships. Once he had confirmation that the clones were indeed beginning to run, he ordered his artillery to target and destroy the landing ships. When that had been accomplished, what ever clone had still stood broke. With no hope of escape and the Legionaires continuing their gristly work finally broke the will of the clones. When the day was finished, not one Darkfire landing had been left on Nova Terra. And the bringing of retribution to the Darkfire had begun."

Legionarii with the Legio XII Fulminata stationed in Syria before the First Parthian War. Next up is the Fulminata Era before the civil wars and the emergence of Imperator Aratus. This is the Roman field kit consisting of helmet, banded armor, shield, gladius, pugio, pilum - rifle, and hastula - pistol. This is a pic of the Legionarii just as they unleash their volley fire. This is a pic of the legionarii in a movement to contact formation This is a pic of the mainstay of the Roman Artillery - The Ballistae This is a pic of a Roman Tormentarius - Artilleryman, in the process of inspecting his ammunition Next up is the Industrial Era circa 200 years after Imperator Aratus. Here is a pic of a Legionarii assigned to the Legio XXX Valeria Victrix on the frontlines with the Inca in one of the uncountable skirmishes with that empire. Here is a pic of the Tribunus of the III Cohors - Legio XXX Valeria Victrix. This picture is of a small interest to religious historians. It seems this officer belonged to the cult of the carpenter, a small sect of the Iudean religion. Next up is the current era. This is a pic of the Roman Triarius Mark III Powered Armor. It was this armor that finally allowed the Romans to end the resistance of the Han and unite Terra, along with driving the Darkfire Empire back from their invasion. The LEGIONS OF THE S.P.Q.R.
