A Legion is a division of Sangheili warriors. A Legion is usually led by a high ranking officer, such as a Zealot or an Ultra.
Background
The responsibilities and purposes of a Legion seem to vary. They are capable of performing tasks ranging from bridge-crew on starships to ground combat.[1]
The violent nature of the Elite society likely demands that Legions should be capable of engaging in varied forms of combat.
Warrior Crèche
A Warrior Crèche is likely a type of Legion where newer warriors hone their combat skills before being assigned to a regular legion. Warrior crèches seem to be specifically used for ground combat, and are carried aboard Covenant Fleets should any ground actions be needed. [2]
