==History==
The '''Dismal Disinherited''' formed after the [[First Succession War]] from former [[Capellan Confederation Armed Forces]] soldiers with roots in the [[Star League Defense Force]]. The Dismal Disinherited formed from the [[8th Andurien Hussars|Eighth]] and [[Ninth Andurien Hussars]], two regiments that had been mustered by the CCAF between [[2784]] and [[2785]] using personnel recruited from the [[133rd Jump Infantry Division]] and the [[Third French Infantry Regiment]].<ref name="FSWp32">''First Succession War'', p. 32, "Those Left Behind"</ref><ref name="FSWp36">''First Succession War'', p. 36, "Those Left Behind"</ref> The [[CCAF]] hunted the new [[mercenary]] unit, which found a safe haven in the [[Free Worlds League]]. The [[brigade]] maintained its strength through the two decades of heavy fighting through the addition of family members and soldiers who left [[Free Worlds League Military]] service.<ref>''Combat Manual: Mercenaries'', p. 32</ref>
