The '''Legion of the Corpse-Moon''' are a [[Jiralhanae]]-led [[clan]] under the leadership of [[Jiralhanae Chieftain|Chieftain]] [[Deukalion]], presumably hailing from [[Doisac]]'s "corpse-moon" of [[Soirapt]]. While the clan serves as a [[Legion#Banished|legion]] within the [[Banished]], Deukalion holds the rank of [[Legionmaster]]. The Legion of the Corpse-Moon are known to be raiders.{{Ref/Novel|Id=SOR7|HSoR|Chapter=7}}

==History==
At some point prior to [[2559|July 2559]], the Legion of the Corpse-Moon were absorbed into the [[Banished]].{{Ref/Novel|Id=SOR3|HSoR|Chapter=3}} After War Chief [[Escharum]] received a message from [[Atriox]] ordering him to find [[Menachite portal complex|a fabled]] [[Forerunner]] [[slipspace portal|portal]] on [[Reach]] so that he could return to the [[Milky Way|galaxy]] from [[Installation 00]], the Legion of the Corpse-Moon were sent to the [[Glassing|glassed]] [[human]] [[Human colonies|colony]], alongside the [[Keepers of the One Freedom]] and the [[Clan of the Ravaged Tusks|Ravaged Tusks]], to search for the "Portal under the Mountain."{{Ref/Reuse|SOR3}}

Upon reaching the colony, the clans were each sent to search a third of the world—with the Legion of the Corpse-Moon being assigned to search the southeastern third of the [[Eposz]] supercontinent—but they had little luck in finding the portal. Deukalion and his forces began to squabble with [[Jiralhanae Chieftain|Chieftain]] [[Ballas]] of the Ravaged Tusks over the resources found within the various human rehabilitation settlements.{{Ref/Reuse|SOR3}} However, [[Dokab]] [[Castor]], who led the Keepers, was able to reason with the two chieftains and convince them to continue their search for the portal. The [[UNSC]] had sent a [[Blue Team|team]] of [[SPARTAN-II program|Spartans]] to Reach on a [[Operation: WOLFE|mission]] to recover assets from the ruins of [[CASTLE Base]], but Castor felt sure that they were searching for the portal as well.{{Ref/Reuse|SOR7}}

As part of Castor's plan to follow the Spartans, forces from the Legion of the Corpse-Moon and the Ravaged Tusks would continue to harass them. Deukalion's forces would also participate in the failed [[Battle of New Mohács|defense and recapture]] of [[Mohács|New Mohács]], a settlement constructed by the [[Viery Militia]].{{Ref/Novel|Id=SOR14|HSoR|Chapter=14}} Ironically, the Spartans did end up leading the three clans to the portal, as CASTLE Base sat atop the buried Forerunner facility.{{Ref/Novel|Id=SOR19|HSoR|Chapter=19}}

Forces from the Legion of the Corpse-Moon were amongst the Banished fighting during the [[Installation 07 conflict]].{{Ref/Game|Hi}}

==Military assets==
The Legion of the Corpse-Moon makes use of various Banished vehicles and weaponry, such as [[Eklon'Dal Workshop Marauder]]s, [[Banished Wraith|Wraiths]], [[Banished Banshee|Banshees]], [[Banished Phantom|Phantoms]], [[Seraph]]s, [[Type-2 gravity hammer]]s, [[pulse carbine]]s, and [[Type-25 Spiker]]s.{{Ref/Reuse|SOR7}} Though Banished [[humans]] were never permitted to fight in their forces,{{Ref/Novel|Id=DW6|HDW|Chapter=6}} species such as [[Unggoy]] and [[Kig-Yar]] serve within their ranks under Jiralhanae leaders,{{Ref/Novel|Id=SOR12|HSoR|Chapter=12}} as well as Banished [[Sangheili]] from other Sangheili mercenary clans.{{Ref/Game|Id=Inf|Halo Infinite}}
