History
Formed from elements of the Eighteenth Marik Militia in 3066, they were accused for bank robbery and stood under SAFE watch. In the Magistracy of Canopus, they defended only government sites, not the whole planet, when several companies of the Order of the Faithful attacked. After the debacle they returned to Herotius. In October 3068, the Black Angus Boys were hired by the Taurian Concordat to assist in the invasion of Marknik in the wayward Calderon Protectorate. However, the mercenary unit withdrew in the face of an enemy counterattack, claiming they had been hired for "offensive" action only[1]. Back on Herotius they were hired by the WoB. The unit helped the Blakists to seize the control of Kittery. The unit was among the raiders with the Ninth Division who crippled all resistance on Royalston, Atlas, and Scituate. In 3070, The Boys provided support for the transfer of Faith III-lambda which assaulted Beid. On Beid they lost many machines to elements of the 20th Avalon Hussars.
