Although many soldiers in the 777th found themselves disappointed that they could not participate in the defense of Yamataian soil, they pressed on with their mission to meet up with the forward-deployed [[stararmy:starships:yss_kaiyo_ii]] and establish a foothold closer to Kuvexian territory.+

 +==== The Kuvexian War ==== 
 +The 777th launched alongside a [[stararmy:fleets:third_fleet]] task force to counter-attack the [[faction:kuvexia:interstellar_kingdom_of_kuvexia]] in early [[timeline:YE_42]](([[https://stararmy.com/roleplay-forum/threads/third-fleet-moves-into-virgo-launches-kuvexian-expedition.65798/|[SANDRA Report] Third Fleet Moves Into Virgo, Launches Kuvexian Expedition]] (//Note: The task force launched in 1月 YE 42 and was only announced later in 3月 YE 42 to protect operational security//) )), unknowingly escaping their home system just three months before the planet was besieged in what would become known as the [[timeline:events:third_battle_of_nataria]]. Although many soldiers in the 777th found themselves disappointed that they could not participate in the defense of Yamataian soil, they pressed on with their mission to meet up with the forward-deployed [[stararmy:starships:yss_kaiyo_ii]] and establish a foothold closer to Kuvexian territory. 
 + 
 +Almost immediately after they arrived on the Kuvexian warfront, the legion was thrust into battle against Kuvexian strongpoints alongside the //Kaiyō II// and Third Fleet Uchuugun elements. During a particularly risky raid, [[stararmy:ranks:taii]] [[characters:yamatai:ketsurui_aiko]] and two of her comrades from the //Kaiyō II// — one of which was the [[species:nepleslian]] exchange officer [[characters:yamatai:william]], the son of [[faction:democratic_imperium_of_nepleslia|Nepleslia]]'s [[characters:nepleslia:sanders_gaelan|premier]] — were captured during a deep cover infiltration of an enemy installation. First listed as "missing in action," it was later learned that the three were [[faction:kuvexia:prisoners|prisoners of war in Kuvexia]] and had been forced into slave fighting in one of the Interstellar Kingdom's gladiatorial combat arenas. Legion 777 was subsequently sent to free the [[faction:yamatai:ketsurui_clan|imperial family]] officer from her imprisonment. The raid was successful with Aiko, William, [[characters:yamatai:fujiwara_saya]], and Saya's newborn child rescued from captivity(([[https://stararmy.com/roleplay-forum/threads/mission-23-kamiwaza.66462/|[YSS Kaiyō II] Mission 23: Kamiwaza]])). 
 + 
 +So inspired by her legion's charge and their mission performance, Shôshô Uzume named the 777th "Princess Aiko's Natarian Grenadier Legion" in honor of their accomplishment. With many former Ketsurui Samurai in the legion, all of whom had previously chosen to officially forsake their vows to protect the Ketsurui Clan so they could continue power armor service in the Star Army, the new moniker was a universally welcome change. Although a great number of Yamatai's samurai, journeywomen, and trainees still felt some amount of shame after being forced to choose between Empire and Imperials, those in Legion 777 could now count themselves fortunate to serve both. 
 + 
 +The next major engagement Legion 777 participated in was the final battle of the Kuvexian War at [[timeline:events:battle_of_glimmergold|Glimmergold]]. While most Star Army forces arrived at the battlefield via a gigantic portal created by Yamatai's [[species:essai]] allies, Legion 777 was part of a force already deployed to the Kuvexian front who were sent to support the invasion. Again following the //Kaiyō II//'s power armor team into battle (and this time with their new namesake at the head of their charge)(([[https://stararmy.com/roleplay-forum/threads/open-rp-seizing-the-opportunity-kuvexian-war-final-battle-battle-of-glimmergold.66659/page-5#post-416162|Seizing The Opportunity (Kuvexian War Final Battle/Battle of Glimmergold)]])), the legion fought gallantly in support of the mission and Ketsurui Aiko. Upon the complete destruction of that Kuvexian star system's planets at the hands of the Essai and combined fleets from the [[places:kikyo_sector]], Legion 777 returned home by way of the same Essai wormholes their allies had come through to meet them. 
 + 
 +==== The Post-War Era ==== 
 +{{ characters:2023:2022_aiko_ninrabeachboy.png?450|Princess Ketsurui Aiko was honored by Legion 777 and made the unit's royal Centurion-in-chief for her heroism during the Kuvexian War.}} 
 +With the Interstellar Kingdom of Kuvexia in ruins and a bright future of peace close at hand for Yamatai and its neighbors in the Kikyo Sector, the soldiers of Legion 777 were finally able to enjoy time at home after its long deployment to the front. Shôshô Uzume, with the overwhelming support of her troops, elevated [[characters:yamatai:ketsurui_aiko]] to be an honorary Centurion of the legion. Though this "promotion" came with few duties beyond irregular parade reviews from the legion's namesake Imperial family member, Aiko's patronage kept morale high in the uncertain days after the Battle of Glimmergold when no soldier in the Star Army could predict what a future without something to fight would bring. 
 + 
 +The day after [[timeline:events:victory_day_ye_43]] while celebrations still raged across [[planet:yamatai|planet Yamatai]] and the sector itself, Aiko met with [[faction:democratic_imperium_of_nepleslia|Nepleslia]]'s Sky Marshal, [[characters:nepleslia:sanders_gaelan]], on a personal call(([[https://stararmy.com/roleplay-forum/threads/the-southpaw-sojourn.67306/|The Southpaw Sojourn]])) — she'd served alongside his son [[characters:yamatai:william]] for the duration of her military career, first with him as a civilian and then as an [[stararmy:exchange_program|exchange soldier]]. During this encounter, she secured a full company of [[faction:nepleslia:military:nepleslian_space_marine_corps]] [[faction:nepleslia:equipment:cyclops|"Cyclops" Breakthrough Armorsuits]] to serve on exchange with Legion 777 after expressing how impressed she was with William's performance in the armor during the Battle of Glimmergold. Subsequently, the "Berserkers" were sent to train and operate alongside the legion in the interest of fostering future military cooperation between the Star Army of Yamatai and the [[faction:nepleslia:military]]. During this period, the task force that Legion 777 was attached to had its ships transferred to the [[stararmy:fleets:first_fleet|First Fleet]] in order to be on the same roster as the ship they had often worked so closely with, the //Kaiyō II//.

 The actual feel of the legion is more inspired by Napoleon's Imperial Guard, particularly the practice of using Old and Middle Guard officers and NCOs to lead Young Guard formations. The parallel here is that former Ketsurui Samurai will be taking the reigns of the legion's fighting leadership. The original idea was to have an entire legion where the company-level officers were all former samurai and the company-level NCOs were former journeywomen, but calculations indicate that would mean 1,200 COMPANY-LEVEL OFFICERS and 10,000 COMPANY-LEVEL NCOs drawn from the ranks of former Ketsurui Samurai. That's clearly impossible, so we're going with JUST CENTURIONS (200) or CENTURIONS + FIRST PLATOON LT (400). The actual feel of the legion is more inspired by Napoleon's Imperial Guard, particularly the practice of using Old and Middle Guard officers and NCOs to lead Young Guard formations.
