The Filthy Lucre were a mercenary unit operating during the Succession War era.

History
Alongside Narhal's Raiders, the Filthy Lucre were hired by the Lyran Commonwealth during the lull between the First and Second Succession Wars. At the start of the Second Succession War in 2830 the Lucre were stationed on the Tamar Pact capital of Tamar. By the end of that brutal conflict the Lucre were stationed on Alexandria.[1]
By the time of the Third Succession War, the Lucre were judged to have performed their duties quite well by House Steiner, spending so much time in the Commonwealth that the unit had established roots in the Lyran realm. Based off this alone, barring the unexpected, outside observers fully expected the Filthy Lucre would be absorbed into the Lyran Commonwealth Armed Forces.[2]
While ultimately that did not come to pass, as of 3025 the Lucre remained under contract to the Lyran Commonwealth stationed on Bolan.[3] With the unit in debt to the Lyran government, that the Lucre would renew with the Commonwealth when their then-present contract expired in July 3027 seemed a forgone conclusion.[4]
The Filthy Lucre served the Lyran Commonwealth for almost two centuries. The mercenaries families all put down his roots in Commonwealth space, and most of her MechWarriors are graduates odf Lyran academies, icluding the Nagelring.[5]. However, the relations between the Lucre and the Commonwealth ended in 3050, when an ambitious Lyran officer tried to force the group into the Commonwealth armed forces, even threating the Lucre's families. The group was forced to accept a contract with House Marik and depart of the planet they were garrisoning, leaving the Lyran space. As his leader request to not face his former Lyran comrades, the unit was stationed along the Capellan Confederation border.[6]
