The Shadow Legion are a new massive Cabal army of the Shadowkeepers who serve The Black Swordsman and The White Angel.

Following the Black Fleet's destruction of The Last City and enshroudment of the Solar System, they would be recruited by the Shadowkeepers to rebuild the Cabal Empire with the Darkness and recruit Cabal commanders from other Legions, including the Red Legion, Cabal Deserters, and Loyalists, under the banner of Gha'arn, Crownforger of Kirito. A group of emissaries sought to strengthen the Swordsman's cause through an ancient tradition with the hope of joining Aethrox's Council of Shadows.

Prior to the Second Collapse, Gha'arn led the newly formed Legion across the Solar System and acquired the powers of the Darkness, even going on to assassinate Emperor Calus and overthrow The Leviathan.

History

Fall of the Leviathan

"A glorious new day comes upon us all, but sadly for you, you will not live to see it, for at the edge of the universe, it was my savior, Kirito, who stared into the infinite deep and became the herald of its victory and ours, and bore witness for all creation."

— Gha'arn to a severely weakened Emperor Calus

Structure

Shadow Legion troops can be primarily identified by their signature gunmetal, red, black, and purple armor with hints of red linings in their armor with green spiked shoulder pads, with some troops having gold, silver, or orange highlights depending upon their rank. They are also more heavily armored than other Cabal Legions, wearing metal plates over a bodysuit of War Beast scales.

The command structure and tactics of the Shadow Legion are more aggressive and agile than any Cabal Legion observed before, with deadlier weapons, advanced technology, and battle techniques. The Shadow Legion also has a handful of new units that operate in the field. Majors will typically wear silver armor, whereas Ultras wear gold armor.

Trivia

• The Shadow Legion is the second Cabal force to travel to Earth and succeed in attacking the Last City. They use more advanced technology in stark contrast to the Cabal scouts who were originally deployed to the Solar System in Destiny, evidence of the Cabal Empire's advancements after the original scouting party had been deployed.
  • It is also the first Cabal force to worship the Darkness.
