Later they fought against [[Clan Jade Falcon]] on [[Quarell]]. This battle cost them a large amount of equipment. Because they withheld some of the captured [[Clan]] technology, the Dragonslayers were accused of breaking their contract, and were later found guilty by the [[MRBC]]. (The Dragonslayers did in fact withhold equipment from the Federated Commonwealth, but the unit did so because the FC was feeding them incorrect information about the location of captured Dragonslayers personnel.<ref>''Hot Spots'', p. 62</ref>)

In [[3066]], the unit supported [[Marshigama’s Legionnaires]] on [[Conquista]] during a raid, but suffered heavy losses.<ref>''Technical Readout: 3055 Upgrade'', p. 12</ref> After this, their new employer was the [[Marian Hegemony]]. While stationed on [[Lissa]], they defended the new [[General Motors]] production line against several [[bandit]] raids. The Marian high command ordered the mercs to search and destroy the base of the raiders. The command captured two companies' worth of equipment, as well as an ''[[Overlord]]'' DropShip. They traced the bandit leaders to [[Valerius]]. There, the rebels were captured and executed, which caused much disdain among the locals. Local forces began antiriot campaigns to calm the situation. During another raid against another bandit base, the unit captured a [[Word of Blake]] [[Demi-Precentor]] during a weapon deal.
