The Brazorian Crown Legion, commonly known as the Crown legion or the Brazorian Legion, was a volunteer legion and expeditionary force sent by Brazoria to support the Kingdom of Sierra and monarchist forces during the Sierran Civil War. The force itself was formed due to high numbers of volunteers that traveled to Sierra during the war and the Brazorian government organized them into a fighting force to support the Sierran monarchy. The reason for supporting the monarchists against the Second California Republic and the republican faction was due to Brazoria viewing the monarchy as a legitimate institution in Sierra and many in the country feared the spread of Landon's radical socialist ideas. The Crown Legion was made up of Brazorian monarchists who sympathized with the monarchist cause and used their experience to call for a monarchy in their home country after the end of the war, but to no avail.
