While exact details are unknown, it appears that [[Alex Keller]], an IE employee, paid to leave the organization along with others. The nascent Brigade gathered on [[Galatea]], and quickly grew in strength. In [[3069]], the Devil's Brigade signed a contract to serve as security for the [[StarCorps]] installations on [[Son Hoa]].<ref>''Mercenaries Supplemental II'', p. 30 - "Unit Profile"</ref><ref>''Mercenaries Supplemental Update'', p. 49 - "Unit Profile"</ref> The Devil's Brigade had extensive connections to both StarCorps and [[Chandrasekhar Kurita]] during the 3070s; under contract to Kurita and using the information he provided, the Devil's Brigade were responsible for discovering the [[Hegemony Memory Core]] on the lost [[Terran Hegemony]] world of [[New Dallas]], devastated and abandoned during the [[First Succession War]]. The discovery of the Memory Core and its subsequent dissemination throughout the [[Inner Sphere]] and beyond attracted attention to the Devil's Brigade; so to did the Brigade's relentless and tenacious fight against the [[Word of Blake]].<ref name="TRO3075p206">''Technical Readout: 3075'', p. 206, "GLD-4R Gladiator"</ref> The Devil's Brigade defended [[Arcturus]] when the Word of Blake struck at Kurita's assembled mercenary forces there; the ''[[Samhain (Individual Vulture-class DropShip)|Samhain]]'', an ancient ''[[Vulture (DropShip class)|Vulture]]''-class [[DropShip]] in service with the Devil's Brigade successfully destroyed a Blakist ''[[Union]]''-class DropShip, earning the pilot a reward from Chandrasekhar for the bravery shown.<ref name="TRO3075p214"/><ref>''Turning Points: Arcturus'', p. 11, "Aftermath"</ref> The Devil's Brigade was present on [[Outreach]] when the [[Word of Blake]] started their Jihad, but left shortly after the initial attack.<ref>''Total Chaos'', p. 39</ref> Chandresekhar Kurita sent them to investigate the remains of [[New Dallas]]. There they found little of interest at first, but when they began deep scans of [[SLDF]] ruins, they found a Star League Memory Core. Before they could escape however, a [[Level III]] from the Word of Blake's [[19th Division (Word of Blake)|19th Division]] arrived. The Devil's Brigade escaped through a bunker complex and dodged the Blakists for another week before lifting off with the New Dallas Memory Core.<ref name=HTPNWp5>''Historical Turning Points: New Dallas'', p. 5</ref> In [[3071]], while stationed on [[Son Hoa]] to defend the StarCorps facilities they were unable to stop a Word of Blake raid that captured an estimated three months' worth of the factory's output.<ref name=50thShadow>''BattleCorps: INN Newscast (MilSpec section), news item published [08/06/3072]: "Unknown Forces Scatter Defenders on Son Hoa, Khon Kaen"''</ref> In 3073 the Devil's Brigade was on Arcturus with several other mercenary commands.
