- Recruitment
- Volunteers - Volunteers are accepted into the program without physical checks and will enter the same basic training as those recruited otherwise.
- Seeker Trials - The Legion has members actively seeking out territories outside the realm, especially worlds with strong martial and warrior cultures, to find recruits through local trials and then induct them into the Legion's Unanointed training program.
- Imperial Tithe - Through the Imperial Tithe recruits from loyal and affiliated worlds are drafted to become members of the Imperial military. Those that show special resilience and willpower, are then offered to join the Indomitus Legion, to create a force of volunteered soldiers rather than conscripted. From there they go through a lengthy training and induction period before they are asked to swear their oaths.
- Basic Training - It is noteworthy that the training up to this point, does not differ between Force sensitives and non-Force sensitives. They are all undergoing a greatly expanded Stormtrooper training program with much more emphasis on blade and melee combat.
- Lex Valoris - The Lex Valoris is the swearing of the Oaths of Valor, Honor and Loyalty during their respective trials. After successfully passing them, the Knight will receive their Indomitus tattoo onto the left upper arm and be progressing to their Indomitus Anointment. Those that do not pass, are either returned to the Imperial military or if their zeal and willpower is outstanding, inducted into the Order of Rurik's Watch.
- Indomitus Anointment - The anoinment is a surgical procedure where the Knight will receive their cybernetics and bio-enhancements from the Legion's Gothic Division. Afterwards they are being given their Knight Armor and becoming Squires to serve the Legion proper.

HISTORICAL INFORMATION
The Indomitus Legion unifies the imperial values of Order, Unity, Strength, Expansion and Purpose. It sheds the mantle of origin, history, past agitations and discording philosophies in favor of affecting and bringing about lasting change to the Galaxy and its civilisations. Sacrificing compassion, innocence and peace on the altars of progress, destroying corruption, decadence and democracy on the anvil of advancement and eradicating selfish delusions of grandeur through a tight imperial order, the Indomitus Legion does not hesitate to do what is right and necessary.
It is a military order of unique cohesion and comradery, its members from any and all backgrounds, inducted into the Lex Valoris, they grow not only to become soldiers of extraordinary discipline, courage and dedication, but also their own society, an indoctrinated and secluded brotherhood and sisterhood of warriors that shares, embraces and supports each other. It is this mutual adherence to a cause and philosophy that makes these Knights a new force to reckoned with on the battlefields of the Galaxy.
Organised into the Hexaton, the six Chambers, identifying and expanding specific professionalism, the Knights are entering dedicated squads. They undergo an extreme basic training program which aims not only to exhaust them physically, but also mentally. Intended to drive out any hesitation, contemplation or doubt, they are molded into their new home, among their new family. Further their training is held alongside Force sensitive recruits, making them highly aware of their advantages, traits as well as weaknesses and flaws.
In battle they are deployed equally as specialised units and an unyielding, unwavering formation of brute force. Their adaptability only being second to their fighting skill, especially in close combat.
