Gladstone's Gladiators
Sarna News
Template:InfoBoxMercUnit Gladstone's Gladiators were a mercenary unit of unspecified size and composition. Following a falling-out, the Capellan Confederation's 2nd Kearny Highlanders regiment spent a full forty years tracking the mercenary unit down to prove the Confederation's resolve, destroying them to a man in 2802.
History
In Capellan Confederation employ as of 2761, Gladstone's Gladiators threatened to destroy the Hsien munitions dump and water purification plants if their demands were not met following a contract dispute. However, they abandoned the planet after the 2nd Kearny Highlanders retook the munitions depot in a nighttime raid.
The 2nd Kearny Highlanders took a special interest in tracking down and destroying the Gladiators for the next four decades. In September of 2802 the Highlanders learned from the Maskirovka that the Gladiators were en route to Zion. They raced ahead to Zion, borrowing transport and equipment from the Maskirovka Special Operations Branch, and ambushed the Gladiators on the ground just after they had completed offloading, with aerospace suppressing fire keeping their DropShips on the ground. Ten Ostroc and three Assassin 'Mechs were salvaged from Gladstone's Gladiators, who were destroyed to the last man.[1]
