The Confederation deployed the Renegades to [[Tsingtao]] in late [[3057]], after the FedCom garrison had mostly left the planet following [[Katherine Steiner-Davion]]'s recall order. The Redfield Renegades battalion garrisoned the world with professionalism and competence (despite their enmity with the Confederation), but could not prevent the remaining FedCom guerrilla forces from enacting a spectacularly successful heist of billions of [[FC-Bill]]s from a central bank storage, plus an entire delivery convoy of [[L-Bill]]s.<ref name=TTP>''Legacy'' anthology - ''The Third Pillar''</ref> Colonel [[Sarah Redfield-Barnes]] took command of the unit after this action.<ref>''Lawyers, Guns, & Money'' p. 2 "Redfield's Renegades"</ref>+ As of [[3050]], they were based on [[Harsefeld]]. <ref>''20 Year Update'' pp. 57</ref> − By [[3067]] they were working for [[Minroc Mines Interstellar]] on [[Epsilon Eridani]], and may or may not have been aware that their employer was a front for the [[Word of Blake]]. In that year, a [[lostech]] prospector found a crashlanded [[SLDF]] DropShip on the planet, sparking a race to the treasure. Around 20/21 May of that year, an accidental weapons discharge quickly escalated the tense situation into a shooting war between the Renegades and another mercenary unit on the planet, the [[Lone Star Regiment]].
