	The '''Dragonslayers''' were a [[mercenary unit]] working under long-term contracts with the [[Lyran Commonwealth Armed Forces]] and later the [[Federated Commonwealth]].

	The two regiment-strong command participated in the [[War of 3039]]. They landed on [[Altais]], supporting the  [[8th Donegal Guards]] and [[Gray Death Legion]] in the first wave of the Commonwealth thrust.

−	===Clan Invasion===	+	Later they fought against [[Clan Jade Falcon]] on [[Quarrell]]. This battle cost them a large amount of equipment. Because they hid some of the captured [[Clan]] technology, the Dragonslayers were accused of breaking their contract, and were later found guilty by the [[MRBC]]. (The Dragonslayers did in fact withhold equipment from the Federated Commonwealth, but the unit did so because the FC was feeding them incorrect information about the location of captured Dragonslayers personnel.<ref>''Hot Spots'', p. 62</ref>)

They traced the bandit leaders to [[Valerius]]. There, the rebels were captured and executed, which caused much disdain among the locals. Local forces began anti-riot campaigns to calm the situation. During another raid against another bandit base, the unit captured a [[Word of Blake]] [[Demiprecentor]] during a weapon deal.
