History
The roots of the command are exotic. Their founder is a Lyran citizen who served first in the LCAF and later with the Jureck's Jaegers. The commander discovered a Lostech cache on Risin. Another mercenary unit, the Blades of Death, defeated the Jaegers to claim the cache and executed the CO of the Jaegers, taking the booty and captured troops with them to be sold. Woodrow Ethan Allen was made a slave in the Marian Hegemony. There he led a revolt and was rescued by a Canopian raiding force. With four captured 'Mechs taken from the Marians the foundation of the unit were laid.
In 3042 Ian Calderon, a member of the ruling family of the Taurian Concordat joined the unit as a MechWarrior. The next contract brought the enlarged force back to Canopus. The unit has since been in long term employment with the MAF.
In 3070 the unit alerted the entire MAF about a possible war with the Marian Hegemony. The unit's warnings were considered absurd and it was ordered to stand down.
