==History==
 
==History==
Created in [[3054]] by [[Major]] [[Rocco Valdez]] the mercenary unit '''Fist of Mokal''' was composed of warriors gathered from units that had been shattered by the [[Clan]] invasion of the [[Inner Sphere]]. The Major spent the first two years working with his recruits, hammering them into a cohesive battle ready force ready to take on any contract. Using his connections with the [[Free Worlds League]] Major Valdez negotiated the unit's first contract, garrison duty on the [[FedCom]] border world of [[Berenson]]. They stayed on this world for a year, continuing to work to improve during this time of relative peace. In 3057 they were loaned to the [[Capellan Confederation]] for their invasion of FedCom space, fighting on the planet [[Sheratan]]. Due to the actions of [[Jeffrey's Own]] (Major William Jeffreys was the Senior Commander of the Fists) during the fighting on Sheratan and the death of thousands of civilians while the Fist were there the Free Worlds League voided both mercenary companies contracts and proscribed the units, making them outcasts, unwelcome on [[Outreach]] and considered pariah by all.
 
 
In dire straits and ready to disband the Fist, Major Valdez was approached by [[Word of Blake]] representatives on [[Galatea]]. Offered a contract by an aged Demi-Precentor, both the Fist and Jeffrey's Own accepted and were shipped to [[Terra Firma]] where they were put in contact with Blakist friendly separatist groups. After only two weeks the mercenary and Word of Blake insurrectionists were successful and [[Capolla]] had been secured.
 
 
The planets [[Liao|Liaoist]] sympathizers went underground and continued guerrilla actions, eventually culminating in the kidnapping and brutal murder of Major Jeffries in [[3066]]. Major Valdez, wanting to head off another Sheratan in the making, convinced the MechWarriors of Jeffrey's Own to forgo vengeance and merge with the Fist. With a larger command at his disposal Valdez spent the next year purging the Liao sympathizing ''[[Zhanzheng de Guang]]'' terrorists from Terra Firma, confirming his oath to avenge the Own's dead commander. Now a full [[Battalion]] in strength the Fist has become the de facto standing army of Terra Firma and is firmly loyal to their Blakist employers.
 
 
By [[3081]] it had been confirmed that the Fist of Mokal had been wiped out during the [[Jihad]].<ref name="J:FRp120">''Jihad: Final Reckoning'', p. 120, "The Condemned"</ref>
