Iron Legion

"We invite to our ranks Humans who wish to preserve the sanctity of their way of life! Who are children of chose who served the Empire and feel that their parent's cause has been slandered by the New Republic! Those who's parents were only loyal to the New Order when it was strong and turned their backs on it during its time of need! We believe in the preservation of Human High Culture, for the achievements of humanity eclipse those of lesser species! We believe in the need for a strong hand to rule the galaxy, for peace can be only preserved by a clear hierarchy that is militaristic and authoritarian! We believe in the right for the strong to rule over the weak, for this had been the law of nature since time immemorial! Join us and we will bring true order to the galaxy!" Excerpt from an Iron Legion recruitment brochure.

The Iron Legion is a pro Imperial hate group that operated in New Republic space that was mainly composed of the children of former Imperial personnel now living in New Republic space that existed from 7 aby to 16 aby. It was forcibly dissolved following a rocket attack on a mainly non Human settlement on Corellia carried out by a fringe branch of the group. Almost all of its members are either in prison or were killed during standoffs with law enforcement

Human High Culture
The Iron Legion are strong supporters of Human High Culture, the Galactic Empire's codified policy that stated Humans were the most productive species in the galaxy and thus deserved to be at the apex of galactic society. Much of their propaganda was brazenly aimed at Non or Near humans and their supposed threats to galactic peace. They also emphasized the need to protect the purity of the Human species and often harassed Humans with non Human romantic partners in public. The more extreme branches of the Iron Legion went as far as attacking mixed species couples.

Chauvenism
While the group was blatantly in favor of Human supremacy they also believed in the superiority of Human males due to the groups militaristic attitudes. This idea was not put forward bluntly in their propaganda but it would be difficult for human females to ignore some of the sexist overtones present. This has caused the group to lose out on having female members who might have otherwise sympathized with their beliefs. The Iron Legions belief in male superiority has backfired on occasions when they provoked fights and were beaten by females. This was especially the case when a girl from Clan Rook of Mandalore successfully overpowered five legionaries.

Activities
While the group was united in its central tenants, their activities differed from branch to branch. The Fondor branch was content with passing out leaflets on street corners to passersby and to disseminate propaganda over the Holonet. The Corellia and Naboo branches were willing to send threatening messages to non Human dignitaries, humans in mixed species relationships and former dissidents during Imperial rule.
