The Bondurant Bombardiers were the militia unit that defended Bondurant.

History[edit]

In July, 3137, Duke Vedet Brewster led the 1st Hesperus Guards as part of the Task Force known as "Gauntlet". They were part of the first wave of Operation HAMMERFALL, sent into the region of space labeled by the Lyran Commonwealth command as "The Wedge", located between the Free Worlds League's Duchy of Tamarind-Abbey and Marik-Stewart Commonwealth.

The Guards were later relocated to reinforce the fight in Marik-Stewart space facing with the re-formed Silver Hawk Irregulars and local militia The Bondurant Bombardiers on Bondurant in September 3137. The fight for Bondurant was a brutal campaign, exhausting both units thoroughly, but ultimately ending in victory for the weary Guards and Third Lyran Regulars.[1]

The Silver Hawk Irregulars escaped off-world, but the Bombardiers, had painted their 'Mechs and vehicles to mimic those of the Silver Hawk Irregulars and had been lashing out, launching raids all over the southern continent, with the help of the local population pinning the Lyran troops commanded by General Bernard Nordhoff.[2]
