Legion
Legion is a faction on Pxls.space, which creates art pieces inspired by the Legion from Fallout: New Vegas, the real-life Roman Empire, and videos of YouTuber Wycc220.
History
In 2017, the Russian social network VK launched a short-term analogue of Reddit /r/place. The community consisting of viewers of Wycc220 channel took part as Legion. One of VK Pixel Battle's features is a constant war over territory due to large number of participants and small amount of space. After those 3 days were over, some of legionnaries moved to Pxls Canvas 6. Formally, it was the predecessor faction for Legion's current iteration. The Legion, in its entirety, is a highly organized paramilitary structure with hierarchy inspired by the Roman legion. VK Pixel Battle has been consistetly relaunched in both 2018 and 2019, with the last one bringing a small portion of the Legion back to Pxls.
The history of current iteration starts on October 29, 2019, when several legions led by the chief artist of the Legion Molodoy#8805 announced themselves on Pxls.space on Canvas 28.
Canvas 6
Immediately after the end of the first PB, one of the legionnaires called the others to pxls. Despite the lack of a clear command and plan, the legion drew a series of artworks related to Wycc220. Legion left pxls without even waiting for a reset.
Canvas 28
After third VK's Pixel Battle, Legion started to build into the last third of the canvas. Having found a place with great difficulty, Legion depicted a number of small drawings, including the Antler drawing ([Bogorog] or Godhorn in russian version) and Legion's forepost.
Canvas 29
On this canvas, the Legion had more impact. Molodoy painted a large art depicting the eagle of the Legion, Legate Lanius, Vulpes Inculta and "The Respected Man".
At the beginning of the canvas, there was a conflict with Cozy Vault faction over territory, which ended in Legion moving east. In addition to the main drawings, "Legion-chan" art was created, New Vegas billboard captured by the Legion, an aquifer, "Maniac with an axe", "Bar-Forepost", as well as a carved stone depicting the identification numbers of legions from VK Pixel Battle from which the volunteers making up The Legion faction came from. On this canvas, Legion has an altercation with Cozy Vault over territory shortly after canvas started. There has also been a mellow, but prolonged conflict with builders of Finland flag.

First appeared on the 35th canvas, the LDC was the structure necessary to resolve the diplomatic issues of the Legion and other factions. LDC's debut was the peaceful resolution of the war between Veil and Simian Sculptors, in which the Legion was involuntarily drawn into.
The overly formal appeal of the LDC in the negotiations has become a meme.
