The Batavian Legion is a reinforced combined arms formation established in 1664 to take over responsibility for the defence and security of the Batavian sector of the Western Banner Group of Benacia Command. It's primary area of concentration was between Ingleheim and Vinandy and between Lugdunum and Noviomagus. The duties of the legion are to provide aid to the civil power in the Dominion of Batavia, the portion of the country that remains under Shirerithian control, and to screen the approaches to Portus Batavii, Westpoint, and the Gascon frontier in a period when Imperial Forces in western Benacia are being withdrawn and redeployed elsewhere following the partial decolonisation of Batavian territory and the withdrawal of Jingdaoese forces from enclaves leftover from the War of Lost Brothers.
