==History==<br />
===Formation===<br />
The '''First Free Worlds Legionnaires''' were formed in [[3042]] from veterans of the [[Defenders of Andurien]] and the [[Marik Guard]]. Six months later, they fought off a [[Federated Commonwealth]] raid on [[Suzano]] by the [[Fifth Syrtis Fusiliers]]. Using offense in a situation that typically called for defense threw the FedCom unit off guard and forced them to retreat off planet.<ref name=FM:FWLp36/><br />
<br />
They later fought in the [[Westover Crisis]] of [[3046]] and defended [[Huntington]] in [[3049]]. After that battle, they were rotated to [[Andurien]] to defend that important world.<ref name=20YU56>''20 Year Update'', p. 56, "Free Worlds League Deployment Table"</ref><ref name=FM:FWLp36/><br />
<br />
===Jihad===<br />
Known for their hatred of the [[Capellan Confederation]], the First Free Worlds Legionnaires quickly struck several Capellan worlds. After the Free Worlds League dissolved, the Legionnaires joined the [[Duchy of Andurien]]. After reorganizing as the '''[[1st Andurien Rangers|First Andurien Rangers]]''' they raided [[Principia]] and repelled an attack on Andurien by the [[2nd Oriente Hussars]]. In 3079, they remained on Atreus as the garrisoning force.<ref name=frfwl12>''Field Report: FWLM'', p. 12</ref><br />
