The legionnaires were famous throughout the Inner Sphere for having two purposes: money and quality. With their fearsome reputation of fearless warriors they proved themselves deadly, efficient and reliable. However, like most mercenaries, they did not care about ethics, fighting always for the highest bidder. ==Canonicity== The Black Knight Legion was initially introduced as the protagonist unit in the computer game ''[[MechWarrior 4: Black Knight]]''.

Working for the [[Corvatti Corporation]], the Legion wiped out the pirates threatening Corvatti mining assets. ===Liberation of Kentares IV=== The Legion was then approached by a [[Lyran Alliance]] mercenary liaison officer, Major [[Carissa Dupree]], and offered a contract to support the [[Kentares Free Army]] in taking back [[Kentares IV]] on behalf of [[Archon]] [[Katherine Steiner-Davion]]. Colonel [[Michael Lawhorn]] was double-crossed by his Lyran employer and killed in May of 3063. Command of the unit was passed on to [[Eric McClair]]. McClair and his lancemates nearly killed Duke [[Ian Dresari]] and eliminated three of his closest supporters. ===Payback=== The Legion took revenge on their former Lyran employer, Major Dupree, by hunting her down and wiping out the entire Lyran garrison on [[Voltrat III]]. The Legion subsequently made the planet their base of operations. ==Officers== {| class="wikitable" |- ! scope="col" width="220" style="background: #dedede;" | Rank ! scope="col" width="220" style="background: #dedede;" | Name ! scope="col" width="220" style="background: #dedede;" | Command |- | colspan="4" style="background: #efefef;" | '''Commanding Officers of the Black Knight Legion''' |- | [[Colonel]]||[[Michael Lawhorn]]||[[3063]]<ref name=MW4BK>''MechWarrior 4: Black Knight''</ref> |- | Colonel||[[Eric McClair]]||3063<ref name=MW4BK/> |} ==Tactics== Unknown. ==Composition History== ===3062=== '''Black Knight Legion''' operate at least a reinforced [[company]]: *Alpha Lance **[[Black Knight]] - [[Michael Lawhorn]]<ref name=MW4BK/> **[[Mad Cat]] - Sgt Anders **[[Mad Cat]] - Sgt Lustig **[[Mad Cat]] - Cpl Adan *Striker Lance **[[Eric McClair]] **[[Ben Radclife]] **[[Isabel Rodriguez]] **[[Robert Olson]] *Flanker Lance **[[Greg Mathers]] *Hammer Lance **[[Alan Cain]] *Havoc Lance (Destroyed along with Alpha and Hammer) *Coyote Platoon (Special forces - reprograms missile facilities on Voltrat 3) *Phoenix Wing (Stiletto-class fighters, provided support during the Corvatti Corporation contract) *Sundance Wing (Stiletto-class fighters, provided support during the Corvatti Corporation contract) *Raven Wing *Nova Wing ===Other personnel=== * [[Badger (Character)|Badger]] * [[Mandrill (Character)|Mandrill]] * Howler ==References== <references /> ==Bibliography== * ''[[MechWarrior 4: Black Knight]]'' Expansion Pack [[Category:Mercenary Commands|Black Knight Legion]]
