The Legion constellation of small sats is a versatile and cheap group of vehicles designed to fill roles from observation, internet service, and more efficently and capably.

The Abomidon rocket is a medium-lift rocket that can fly crews, lift cargo, and even be used in security-critical operations. Abomidon H-C, the cargo variant, on its first stage has a Mage main engine, with 4 Mage-derivative auxilary thrusters and 2 side mounted solid rocket boosters. On its second stage, Abomidon features a powerful aerospike Mage engine, designed for orbital insertion. The third stage, known as the Service Platform or module, features a precise Pixie engine designed for accuracy. It also has solar arrays, RCS systems, and monopropellant to spare so it can even be used as an on-orbit platform after payload deployment.

Legion sats are designed to operate between 100 and 750 kilometres in altitude. At these altiudes, they can dispose of themselves safely, using their onboard monopropellant thruster, and provide the best service possible. Each satellite features a solar panel, thuster, gyroscope, and battery cell and can remain on orbit indefinitely, provided it maintains some battery power. The bus the Legion payload rides on is directly connected to the Abomidon 3rd stage, and can make minor adjustments with its ion thrusters. The bus itself has an additional payload spot on top, so other commercial payloads can be ride-shared. The bus can stay in orbit similar to the 3rd stage, and can operate in any SOI.

Notes: To ensure optimal capabilities, disable RCS during launch countdown to avoid using maneuvering fuel during ascent.
Legion sats may not burn up in the atmosphere. Take caution over populated areas.
The sats should spread out upon deployment.
