Note that Stellar Legions is not 40k or Star Wars. Uses themes from that material and much more.
Yeah Stellar Legions, Children Of the Stars, Your Own Culture, And Star Brand are all sci fi love letters to sci fi Stuff.
In Stellar Legions party picks plot and stick with it. Only a handful of things make up the preset tech tree, it is open spaces otherwise.
Also the Genre is Science Fantasy. So high tech stuff that does not have to have a answer, along psionics, legit magic, and other weirdness.

Stellar Legions: You Pick the plot, sometimes your alien or altered human. Majority of the time it’s Humanity vs known galaxy. And majority of units are human.
The 40k Stuff is as follows:
Possible scale of fire power
Prepare to get swarmed by nonhumans, who want to kill you. Some of them even come from another dimension.
Genetic super soldiers ( Space Marine style and more.)
Also 5 Religions to choose from ( when I get notes) each one gives rise to extra feature ( could just pick all though. Just more you pick smaller the modifier, due to divided prayers)
Also unlike 40k. I made different genre of enemy type, each has 7 enemy types of different theme and Power level. So if Long War rule in place, your fighting them all eventually ( hell the npcs will fight each other as well.)
Magic is a thing, d and d, final fantasy stuff and so forth.
Psionics are a yes.
There is technology to fake magic but well it is real results should Thing work.
Some choices lead to early rise of enemy type.
10 PCs maxes ( title depends on plot setting) with 3 npc helpers ( Guys I choose.)
Lastly they’re are multiple planet types, and said worlds also have different roles.
Aside that, uses same map as Children just different stuff in it. And each block in map is divided into 5 sectors, rolling each sector as it comes up for worlds and what is going on.
And the sadness part is another one ( not ready for playing) is even more detailed in economy/special resource rules, and the fact it can be strategy or a rp. Or even just a random skirmish game.
Based on decisions and styles.

Yes there is a Emperor. 5 types. For ease sake they are pretty brutal stat wise.
God Emperor: If a Cult of personality occurs. In time one worthy of title rises, a Living Saint into a Emperor or female equalivent. Ordering the minds, bodies, and souls of people. Also get benefits in army stuff.
Celestial Emperor: Thus kind of Holy Emperor is all about internal healing and holiness. While fighting off the Xeno invasion, the ruler makes lessons to free the people of their spiritual shackles.
Imperator: This time it is a dictator for life, who is voted in.
Khan: Strictly barbarian style. Biggest, strongest, and smartest rules. The humans trying to be Orks under this leadership.
Philosopher King/Queen: Aside the 40k Emperor Of having godly stats and psi powers he would fit in this role. The ruler in question is capable, most of all extremely educated and well versed in matters. Hell most likely so damn smart takes part in inventing the Empires stuff.

Any chance we can get a basic young Emperor that based off our decisions and etc we create into one of those 5 types?

I could do the multiple choice quiz to decide what we get. Though yeah age can be a young man/teen/child of God or Celestial. Due to them being divine in government doctrine.
The other three got to be a grown up as you got office by merit.

Truth be told should be sleeping now.
I did the Dragon CS in Nation Building.
Guess tomorrow will do SL.
Number 3, Children? Since a write up for that. Will stop recruiting and just play. Until endings then the next thing ( If popular enough willing to de run, just changes. Like a 2.0 situation. ThoughnI have 11 years of stuff written up, this is like a corner of the top of the ice berg.)

G does sound pretty fun. I have some aliens that would be fun to play, but can do human too.
And I like both strategy and RP.
Ome thing I'm curious of, is will we be playing as one person? Or an officer controlling a unit? Or Joint leaders over larger force? And would we be focusing on space battles, planetside horde mode, or both?
It could be interesting to see leaders one for fleet and one for armies, having to work together to expand the borders. Having to support each other for the greatest possible effect.

I do have an alien race that, albeit pretty small, could make a valuable vassal.
An advanced technocracy that doesn't care much about politics or expansion. Mostly just science. And doesn't have any qualms about selling its wares to the highest bidder. While it is pretty advanced, its lack of resources is always an annoyance.
So if, say, an ambitious empire in its infancy just so decided it wanted to be its patron. Then it would be happy to give its support to said empire. As if defense is ensured, it would also not mind lending its military leaders and ships to the cause.

1: Battles are planet side and space navy.
2: You have a main character controlling your Legion/factions
Three kinds of said characters
1: Commander: Your main deal is planet side.
2: Admiral: Space navy themed.
3: Scienist: Yes, picking this character you actually get to pick what your “ chapter” or l Legion” or “faction” is researching. Quite literally picking subject and one background makes you a Commander/Soldier option deal.
Keep in mind for certain amount of points, can hire more said characters for said roles.
As for research in general would do a ton of dice rolling for your starting stuff. Aside the planets and what’s going on there. The final being what enemies you guys know of with map presence .
3: The only story lines in. Which sliensvare big deal for pc is those plots.
Ina normal game, can have aliens, but they are auxiliary forces. Though could create a alien type of character or what not.
Final note: Thevwholevwhatbto do with xenos is up to you as in G no one is really your sworn enemy yet. So could mix said benevolent in and get their toys/etc.
Obviously in other story lines Humanity is in full 40k mode with purging.

Yep. All three character types have picks. From background to what they are good at.

Off the top of my head
Commanders:
Personality ( how they run things)
Equipment preferences ( decides your stuff)
Tactics ( how your troops fight.)
Admiral:
Back story ( Decides stat boost when your in conflict zone)
Family Heirloom: I roll for this, Decides your capital ship.
Tactics: How you guys fight and it’s different from others.
Researchers: Least worked out.
Home background:
Merchant Clan:
Genius Prodigy:
Tribal Home Life:
Army Brat:
Prestigious Schooling:
Tech list:
Physics
Computers
Engineering:
Biology:
Weapons:
Energy Fields:
Power Systems:
Xeno Tech:
Neo Tech:
Relic Tech:

What sort of fleet/infantry size/power would we be handling?
Overlord Chou
Junior Member
The title Stellar Legion literally means that. In charge of a Legion. Which means:
Army of troops based on commander or world type.
Governor job of two worlds, and a decent fleet. The numbers come when play start. As “numbers” are more about restocking killed troops.
Though yes it gets crazy big in scale.

Ship: Roll one die 6 sides.
1: Battle Cruiser: Small capital ship, but the fastest and it can work in atmosphere. Without gravity issues which is a awesome thing should you be asked for being air support.
2: Battle Ship: So big can only be bought and used in space. Also have enough fire power to raze a moon.

4: Dreadnaught: This big bad boy can blow up a Moon and Raze a planet with enough ordnance. Insane yes, just way it goes.
5: Titan: Bigger than a Dreadnaught and takes a good chunk of a planets crust to forge material wise. This puppy could be a battery ram through asteroids and be ok, while being decked out in a ton of killer fire power.

2: Ramming Speed: Taught bigger ships if too close, just ram into the enemy and duke it out.

Researcher Maker Notes:
Origins:
Scion Born: Born to big name family in the Empire. Get benefits of space travel via a research ship, have private army and our own world to retire too and test stuff there.
Merchant Clan: Start off with ton of resources, know how to make deals with money makers, and family has hired your own private legion to equip and protect self and such.
Brilliant Prodigy: Start off with not 2 specialties, but 4. Given 8 is max, this is a good boon for wide range of stuff. Due to this character being that smart.
Tribal Family Roots: Due to harsh world upbringing, you know how to work weapons and relic tech easier than most. Given Relic tech exists on one’s planet, and being tribal in refiguring it out, one is intelligent. The biggest thing though is due to having shaman blood in your veins, you can literally research magic. Something no other researcher officer does. (Because most part spells are a given by unit.)
Prestigious Graduate: Got top honors in a major Scholar world. As a result get access to more resources as the researcher is getting proper funds.
Army Brat: Aside learning how science works, grew up in a tough military environment. As a result, knows how to fight, so a freebie tech in weapons. And bonus side effects for said inventions.
Fields:
Chemistry: Act of changing and molding that change with science law and materials.
Physics: Study of motion and distance.
Construction: Building things.
Energy Fields: Making energy so dense it can be used as a shield, and toying with energy/matter in general.
Power: What gets and keeps a engine going, providing power for ships, buildings, and etc.
Biology: Genetics, microbes, and cloning/etc.
Weapon System: Making new weapon systems. Or upgrading previous ones.
New Tech: making up new stuff never considered before.
Relic Tech: Studying Ancient Humanity’s tech.
Xeno Studies: Studying alien gear.
Computers: Making better computers to process speed and so forth. Includes AI.
Max Master fields is 8. To get more is to “drink books” by having researcher go into a chamber of liquid knowledge, after path know of contents in data chamber. Cannot be more than 8 because it kills the brain, each data bath is 2 fields, but researcher out for two turns.
Management: Can have as many commanders, admirals, and Head Researchers as you want as long you pay the 500 points, they cost pre buy. Each does their job. Note that even researchers are in peril due to fact a lab accident or a rival or spy work can injure/murder them.
There. And instead of making a list of resources. Instead it is "resource points" into hiring people, restocking units, rebuilding units, and so forth.
Commander Mindset: pick one from below.
Sanguine: Very high spirits and think your army is invincible. Kill the enemy, let the blood flow.
Pro: Army under service gets relentless. As they do not know to stop except when enemy is dead.

Exiled: You were dishonored and not of nobility anymore, oh well you stole the heirloom ship out of spite. Due to constant moving know better than stick around to take a hit (Better evading.)
Family in Debit: Family got into serious hard times and character volunteered to pay it off (Ship repair bonus in engineering, your guy had to learn to do that work)
Sole Survivor: You’re the last of family due to a savage attack from a rival noble house. But you took the ship and wiped them out. Now in military. Naturally, this means in battles you and ship are in, gun values go up (To hit and damage.)
Call of Adventure: Simple story, you got bored so decided to do the job. With your family’s blessing you joined the cause for humanity. (Here the vanilla deal of resource points.)
Ship: Roll one die 6 sides.
1: Battle Cruiser: Small capital ship, but the fastest and it can work in atmosphere. Without gravity issues which is a awesome thing should you be asked for being air support.
2: Battle Ship: So big can only be bought and used in space. Also have enough fire power to raze a moon.
3: Carrier: Here it is a massive target, that spits out constant craft, missiles, rockets, and torpedoes. Has point defense guns though and built to take a hit, while there is a automated builder device onboard.
4: Dreadnaught: This big bad boy can blow up a Moon and Raze a planet with enough ordnance. Insane yes, just way it goes.
5: Titan: Bigger than a Dreadnaught and takes a good chunk of a planets crust to forge material wise. This puppy could be a battery ram through asteroids and be ok, while being decked out in a ton of killer fire power.
6: Leviathan: Bigger than Pluto and such if did dock in atmosphere would cause gravity issues. The only thing bigger is a Battle World. This puppy though can easily defeat a inferior fleet all by itself with no aid what so ever.
Tactics: pick 2 from below.
1: 3 D Combat: instead of 2 d fire fight exchange, ships can engage from above or below the enemy instead.
2: Ramming Speed: Taught bigger ships if too close, just ram into the enemy and duke it out.
3: Waves: Making work out of missiles/rockets, and fighter craft.
4: Specialized Ship Formations: For bonus with filling the enemy with holes, or try to anyway.
5: Synchronize: Fleet working in perfect union with each other. Bonus results.
6: Unorthodox methods: Playing on own book of tactics in what is to go on.
Researcher Maker Notes:
Origins:
Scion Born: Born to big name family in the Empire. Get benefits of space travel via a research ship, have private army and our own world to retire too and test stuff there.
Merchant Clan: Start off with ton of resources, know how to make deals with money makers, and family has hired your own private legion to equip and protect self and such.
Brilliant Prodigy: Start off with not 2 specialties, but 4. Given 8 is max, this is a good boon for wide range of stuff. Due to this character being that smart.
Tribal Family Roots: Due to harsh world upbringing, you know how to work weapons and relic tech easier than most. Given Relic tech exists on one’s planet, and being tribal in refiguring it out, one is intelligent. The biggest thing though is due to having shaman blood in your veins, you can literally research magic. Something no other researcher officer does. (Because most part spells are a given by unit.)
Prestigious Graduate: Got top honors in a major Scholar world. As a result get access to more resources as the researcher is getting proper funds.
Army Brat: Aside learning how science works, grew up in a tough military environment. As a result, knows how to fight, so a freebie tech in weapons. And bonus side effects for said inventions.
Fields:
Chemistry: Act of changing and molding that change with science law and materials.
Physics: Study of motion and distance.
Construction: Building things.
Energy Fields: Making energy so dense it can be used as a shield, and toying with energy/matter in general.
Power: What gets and keeps a engine going, providing power for ships, buildings, and etc.
Biology: Genetics, microbes, and cloning/etc.
Weapon System: Making new weapon systems. Or upgrading previous ones.
New Tech: making up new stuff never considered before.
Relic Tech: Studying Ancient Humanity’s tech.
Xeno Studies: Studying alien gear.
Computers: Making better computers to process speed and so forth. Includes AI.
Max Master fields is 8. To get more is to “drink books” by having researcher go into a chamber of liquid knowledge, after path know of contents in data chamber. Cannot be more than 8 because it kills the brain, each data bath is 2 fields, but researcher out for two turns.
Management: Can have as many commanders, admirals, and Head Researchers as you want as long you pay the 500 points, they cost pre buy. Each does their job. Note that even researchers are in peril due to fact a lab accident or a rival or spy work can injure/murder them.
There. And instead of making a list of resources. Instead it is "resource points" into hiring people, restocking units, rebuilding units, and so forth.

War Trophies: Remainders of past victories that strike fear into hearts of the enemy 9If they can feel it that is.
Doctrines:
Fast Deployment: Troops get into field fast, really fast. To surprise enemy in flanks and outnumber tactics.
Iron Discipline: tougher to break up or fall back as with a iron will bestowed to troops, they will not falter.
Death from Above: Know that to rule the air is to rule battlefield. Air strikes, paratroops, lifts, carry, strafing runs, that sort of thing.

Got a nice even 3. A carrier. Not what I would have hoped. But would be able to take full advantage of chosen tactics.

Alrighty. Interesting choices on worlds. Will ditch out starting Units, and roll for prevexisting gear for start.
Then the enemies and order they show up. Lastly sector rolls.
Notice: Would you guys get a unit list before game start?
And also the main techs one can start with?

Yes. It would be pretty handy given hardware is pretty important on my end. Got to strategize around what I got available.
Did you have a list, or were we making one? I can't remember.
