Join the Gold Legion
Welcome to the Gold Legion, a sister organization of Terragroup dedicated to resource extraction and sustainable practices. As a member, you’ll engage in vital roles like mining, salvaging, crafting, and building to unlock the universe’s wealth while supporting each other.
Gold Legion History
The Gold Legion was officially established between 2230 and 2400, during the era when TERRAGROUP restructured its expanding operational scope into specialized Legions. Tasked with managing critical planetary and orbital resources, the Gold Legion became the backbone of TERRAGROUP’s industrial capability — ensuring that the flow of materials, energy, and salvage never faltered.
While not a combat unit in the traditional sense, the Gold Legion has always operated on the edge of danger — in collapsed mines, decaying megastructures, unstable terraformers, and contested salvage zones. Their motto: “We recover what others leave behind.”

Purpose and Early Operations
Originally conceived to support TERRAGROUP’s rapidly expanding terraforming and colonization projects, the Gold Legion took responsibility for:
- High-risk resource extraction in unregulated zones
- Planetary strip-mining under hostile or unstable conditions
- Hazardous orbital salvage and deconstruction operations
- Real-time reclamation of damaged or derelict installations
Early deployments often involved “dead sectors,” where conventional teams refused to go — under threat from radiation storms, kinetic debris fields, or territorial skirmishes. The Gold Legion developed its own hardened engineering corps, combat-trained miners, and salvage-response strike units to meet the challenge.

Role in The Era of Trials (2400–2600)
During The Era of Trials — as infrastructure across the outer systems began to collapse from neglect, piracy, or systemic failure — the Gold Legion stepped into the breach.
Their contributions included:
- Restoring vital resource chains in war-torn systems
- Reclaiming rare-earth supplies from fallen industrial megastructures
- Building armored mining colonies in unstable tectonic zones
- Deploying mobile refineries to salvage wrecked fleet corridors
Working alongside the Red Legion for protection and the Silver Legion for transit, Gold Legion detachments became synonymous with resilience. They didn’t just recover materials — they rebuilt entire supply chains from ruin.

Industrial Sovereignty and UEE Alignment (2600–2955)
As the UEE turned its focus to expansion and defense, TERRAGROUP’s logistical autonomy made it a vital partner. Gold Legion teams began operating in tandem with UEE frontier planners, but always maintained TERRAGROUP’s strict independence.
By 2700, Gold Legion was a recognized leader in:
- Sustainable resource recovery under hostile conditions
- Emergency salvage and atmospheric collapse response
- Mobile mining flotilla deployment in deep-space belts
- Critical material escort and protection
Though not combat-first, Gold units are trained and equipped to hold ground, recover assets under fire, and deploy automated defenses around industrial zones. Each operation is planned with military-grade precision and logistical foresight.

Gold Legion Today (2955)
Now, in the modern age, the Gold Legion is the industrial lifeblood of TERRAGROUP’s interstellar operations. They are:
- Experts in adaptive engineering and zero-G excavation
- Equipped with mobile refineries, radiation-hardened suits, and armored exo-loaders
- Known for pushing into salvage sites others deem unrecoverable
- Trusted by both civilian outposts and allied recovery fleets
Their role is not glamorous — but without them, ships don’t fly, terraforming halts, and colonies fall.
