History
The Raging Horde is unique among perhaps all mercenary units in that it was founded entirely by a group of ex-Clansmen - specifically, Elementals from several Invasion Clans. Claiming to follow the visions of their founder, a former Nova Cat, the Horde has taken several contracts across the Inner Sphere, most recently one with the Lyran Commonwealth to garrison and train local forces on Skye.
Officers
Tactics
The Horde uses a fusion of traditional Inner Sphere and Clan anti-Mech tactics, utilizing the various abilities of the different kinds of Battle Armor suits they employ.
Composition
The Horde fields a full five Trinaries of armored infantrymen, equally mixing troopers of Inner Sphere and Clan heritage in each Star. The Clansmen use Elemental suits of various loadouts, while the Spheroids mostly use Longinus and Infiltrator Mk. II suits.
Surprisingly, the Horde has enough transport assets to mobilize the entire unit. Aside from a captured Invader-class JumpShip, they also field two Sassanid-class DropShips - the Slasher and the Pouncer - and a single Triumph-class DropShip. Due to battle damage, however, the Slasher and Pouncer have had to refit their weapons bays with Inner Sphere equipment instead of their original, superior Clan loadout. The Horde also fields a number of brand-new Saxon personnel carriers.
