==History==
[[Captain]] [[Gregor Rubinsky]] formed this command during the [[3030]]s with soldiers from [[Tikonov]], [[New Hessen]] and [[Tigress]]. Their first contract was to provide security to the [[Earthwerks]] plant on Tikonov. Later the unit joined ranks with the [[Khorsakhov's Cossacks]]. The demi brigade signed a contract with the St. Ives military. The contract was renewed over the next 25 years. In [[3040]] they faced the [[2nd Confederation Reserve Cavalry]] who killed thousands of civilians in their attempt to destroy the Ceres Metals Industries plant on Indicass.<ref name=fmm106>''Field Manual: Mercenaries'', p. 106</ref>

During the [[Capellan-St. Ives War|Capellan wars]] the regiment suffered heavy losses through an attack with nerve gas on [[Black May|Indicass]]. After the war, they left the Compact as a separate command from the other Cossacks and signed on to serve the [[LAAF]], who put them on the recently liberated planet [[Blackjack (planet)|Blackjack]].

After an intensive training cycle, the time came to prove the lessons learned when the Falcons' [[3rd Falcon Swoop (Clan Jade Falcon)|Third Swoop Cluster]] landed in [[3069]]. The battle was fought hard. Each side sent Head Hunters and used other tactics with success. Only the reinforcement of the Falcon side turned the tide of the battle. The mercenaries surrendered Blackjack to the Jade Falcons and lifted off for Lyran space for rest and refit.
