The Legion invasion of c88a was an invasion on c88a by Legion, during which Legion attempted forced romanization of a significant area of the canvas. The main forces were Legion, Neuro-sama's Swarm and various factions collaborating under the name purp13. Additionally, many volunteers were involved, however due to the canvas having -snip- mode, the number of individual participants is impossible to know for certain.
Timeline
About 11 hours into the canvas, Legion started building in the bottom middle of the cloud. Their speed was significant as they begun to call in other branches of the greater Legion to test their power. Though notably not said until much later in the canvas, their goal was similar to c43a--covering or romanizing as much land as possible. Once Centurii-Chan was finished, Legion moved to construct their lattice. It covered a few small arts as it expanded.
Legion's first major target was Pixelstuck, which was making a highly fiddled April Fools art. Due to the purposefully poor quality of the art, Legion's consoles were not aware it was their close allies Pixelstuck they were attacking.

Afterwards, Legion began planning what to do next. Originally they were going to invade the right side of the canvas next where the purp13 collab was located; however, purp13 approached Legion about an alliance and in response Legion offered the opportunity to become allies in war and the condition purp13 would not be touched.
The following day, Swarm pushed through Legion's front line, attacking first. Legion sprung into action, pushing deeper into Swarm's lattice with purp13 factions also joining in. Legion crawled forward for a few hours, then the front line began to stall. Swarm started recruiting more members from offsite and the online user count peaked at 182, the highest Pxls had seen in many months.
Swarm started to make steady progress into Legion's territory, especially as night dawned in Moscow. By the next day, Swarm had taken a significant portion of Legion's lattice and modified the text around Centurii-Chan (which was negotiated before hand).

Aftermath
Legion declared defeat and entered into talks with Swarm to create a collab art. Swarm settled on a border with Legion and built an art of Neuro-sama based on Legion's main art. A good deal of Legion's lattice territory was returned as well. Pixelstuck's large project was overtaken by Legion, though a small art piece they built in one of the raindrops survived.
