709th Legion

The 709th Legion, also known as the "Red Fury," was an elite stormtrooper legion in the military forces of the First Order under the command of Supreme Leader Kylo Ren. The legion's ranks were chosen by Ren himself, and included specialized units, such as megablaster heavy assault troopers, consisting in total of eight thousand infantry troopers of the Stormtrooper Corps. Lieutenant Agnon and a stormtrooper sergeant served as staff officers of the 709th. The TIE/es assault shuttle was the legion's starship and main transport.

The 709th occupied the Black Spire Outpost of the Outer Rim world of Batuu during the war between the First Order and the Resistance. Part of their mission was to seek out and destroy Resistance forces on Batuu; as such, they took a coercive approach when dealing with members of the local population, such as Dok-Ondar who was warned against aiding the First Order's enemies by the sergeant in the 709th. During the occupation of Black Spire, a squad of 709th stormtroopers attempted to capture the Clawdite fugitive Remex Io.
