Insignia: The 69th Battalion proudly bears the zodiac Cancer sign as its insignia. It consists of the outline of a crab with the number 69 drawn on each of its pincers to closely resemble the associated zodiac sign. The standard Marine Insignia is drawn on the crab's shell. This insignia is printed on the sails of all ships in the 69th Battalion.
Motive: The 69th Battalion was inactive for many years until Vice Admiral Yoshiko restored it and assigned its command to Francis Charlemagne. This Marine division is tasked with one phase of "Project Ishtar" - a large-scale, long-term operation to restore Navy influence on islands currently ruled by pirates or other identified criminals. The 69th was directed to the East Blue to begin setting the stage for Project Ishtar. Under Charlemagne's command, the 69th aims to earn the trust of victims of criminal governments and bring them under the umbrella of the World Government.
