A Rin legionary may already be a good and effective fighting force but they cannot beat every challenge. Thus comes in the Legio Aquila. The greatest of the Rin's fighting forces. They have been genetically enhanced to be the greatest warriors the Rin have to offer. Most are larger then their legionary cousins and can take wounds that would kill a normal Rin. Each Chapter has 5000 of these warriors meaning in the entirety of the Empire there is only 120,000 of these warriors. When one of the Legio Aquila falls another immediately takes his place.

They wear armor slimier to the standard legionary but there suits being much larger and bearing the golden double headed eagle crest. In battle they make use of a rapid firing laser pistol and a large double handed sword.

The Legio Aquila are used as fast hitting shock troops. 1000 of these troops can mean the difference of defeat or victory. Most foes are said to surrender the they hear the sound of the Hell Pod plummeting from the sky rather then face these machines of war.
