'''Deliah's Gauntlet''' was formed by members of the [[Fist of Mokal]]. After freeing Capolla in [[3057]], the beleaguered forces of the [[Terracap Confederation]] needed to put together a defensive force quickly, not only to deter attacks from other systems, but also to keep ''[[Zhanzheng de Guang]]'' terrorists from spreading their violence. The Fist's Major [[Rocco Valdez]] sent Captain Deliah Finn and her lance to Capolla in the company of eight new recruits, all equipped with [[BattleMech]]s taken and repaired from the fighting on [[Sheratan]] and [[Terra Firma]].<ref name=MSII>''Mercenaries Supplemental II'', p. 29 "DELIAH'S GAUNTLET: LOOKING TO THE STAR"</ref>

In [[3066]], terrorists struck on both worlds, kidnapping Major Jeffreys, senior commander of the Fist, on Terra Firma and poisoning the barracks on Capolla, though Captain Finn escaped because she was at a One Star meeting. Later that night, when the terrorists tried to take the spaceport with a lance of light armor, they were repulsed by Captain Finn.

Deliah's Gauntlet broke away from the Fist of Mokal after that and subsequently developed strong ties to a [[Capolla]]-based branch of the [[One Star Faith]]. They were still on that world in August of [[3068]] when the planetary government surrendered its independence to the [[Blake Protectorate]], so did Deliah's Gauntlet contract.<ref name=MSU>''Mercenaries Supplemental Update'', p. 20 "Deliah's Gauntlet"</ref>

Four years later, the [[Word of Blake]] changed how they dealt with the Gauntlet. After training the local militia forces, the mercenaries found their movements more restricted. In [[3075]] rumors of WMDs turned Capolla's citizens against the Word of Blake. And Deliah's Gauntlet decided to fight the WoB.
