History[edit]
The Green Machine mercenary command often provided decent, if uninspired, service for their employers. They usually accepted contracts about security duties. Over the years, experienced soldiers left the command. These soldiers reduced the command's experience level, and in turn affected their financial picture. During the Clan Invasion the AFFC assigned the unit to another garrison contract on the Lyran Commonwealth world of Kowloon. Later they were reassigned to the Federated Commonwealth/St. Ives Compact border world of Purvo.[1] War games in 3066 resulted in the Green Machine being totally destroyed by the Purvo planetary militia. After this poor showing they relocated to Westerhand, where they were hired by the Capellan Confederation during the opening years of the Jihad. They garrisoned Ares.[2] At that time the unit's failed training programs had left them a decrepit, desertion-prone garrison outfit whose only value is their sheer numbers of BattleMechs.[3]
Their contract ended in 3080, and even the unit's commanding officer, colonel Green, doubted the contract would be renewed.[3]
In 3117 they were hired by the Calderon Protectorate. While defending the nation, they avenged a militia force that was destroyed on Carvajal. The Green Machine landed on the world while The Dominars pirate band was present, and destroyed the land forces along their DropShips.[4]
In 3137 a strong Taurian Concordat raid made the unit falter, but they rallied around Captain Angus McFarley and stood firm and finally staved off the rout.[4]
