Where are we?
The Legion Tapes takes place in what was once the continental US. The Legion cut off any rebelling countries from the rest of the world, and since they attacked, no word has come in from outside our borders.
This map indicates the approximate location of each character we hear from in The Legion Tapes Season 1.

When are we?
The Legion War begins in the near future, 5-10 years from the present day.
If you asked the Legion, they’d say the war was over at the one year mark. The Rebellion, obviously, disagrees.
Who are we?
The human Rebellion is split up into three main branches. Each branch, and each team within that branch, operates autonomously but cooperatively.
The Web are passive observers. They don’t fight, they don’t get involved, they just watch and report. Groundhog is a member of the Web.
Aurora consists of active noncombatants. Some Aurora groups are dedicated to trying to find a way beyond the Legion border blockade. Others are working on Legion tech, trying to engineer a weapon that would put humans on a more level playing field. And some, like Kodiak and Rabbit, are supply runners, making sure the rest of the Rebellion always has what they need.
Ember are the fighters. Led by Hawk, Croc, and Roach (since Badger’s disappearance), they raid Legion supply depots and strike at Legion forces.

What is the Legion?
The Legion is a group of eleven separate alien species, collected (sometimes forcibly) under the rule of Command. Each species is named for their role within the Legion.
The Legion is governed by the Code:
Loyalty. Obedience. Strength.
While simple in concept, the Code is complex in its execution.
This diagram reflects the current knowledge of the human Rebellion. Clearly, they have work to do.
