History
The First Bannson's Raiders was a mercenary in the employment of Jacob Bannson and part of the military arm of Bannson Universal Unlimited. Although the First is their official name, they were better known by their nickname the Scourge.[1]
The warriors of the Scourge are incredibly competitive with each other. This is due in part to the rule laid down by Jacob Bannson that any ’Mech captured on in battle by a Scourge warrior becomes that warrior’s personal property.
In October 3133 the Scourge landed on Irian near the Kirin River Valley. They then executed an ambush on a factory supply train guarded by the Northwind Highlanders. The Raiders triggered mines to disable the convoy, and then attacked from the cover of the surrounding woods. The Raiders were surprised by the Highlanders’ presence, but pushed on to loot the convoy and then escaped back into the forest with little to show for their efforts. They then pulled off planet.[2]
In August 3136 the Scourge mutinied against Jacob Bannson and took him captive, to be turned over to Republic authorities.[3]
Officers
The commanding officer was Colonel Meghann Tenclay.
Tactics
The men and women of the unit were highly-trained professionals soldiers, but their temperament meant they were more suited to smaller operations and hit and run attacks than to planetary assault and conquest. Working best in Company size units. Their logistics set up was also for this style of combat.[1]
