This unit has since then been confirmed to be the remains of the [[Fifth Amphigean Light Assault Group]], which were destroyed by [[Clan Ghost Bear]] on [[Krenice]] during the [[Invasion_corridor_-_Clan_Ghost_Bear#Wave_5_.28November-April_3052.29|5th Wave of their Invasion]]<ref name=MSU_24>''Mercenaries Supplemental Update - The 48th'', p. 24</ref> ===Civil War Era=== In [[3062]], The 48th along with [[Kingston's Killers]] were hired to take part in a small conflict on [[Epsilon Eridani]] on the side of Palatine of Duvic faction against the County Shu faction.

They are known for speed and deploy themselves in smaller formations of one or two lances to maximize their overall mobility. They also have an arsenal of Clan weaponry (of unknown origin), to make up for any shortcomings they may have. Additionally The 48th’s strategies are often balanced with their member's sense of honor with the letter of their contracts. It was because of this they were cleared of all wrongdoings by the local authorities on Epsilon Eridani, when evidence of their employers’ corruption came to light.<ref name=MSU_24/> ==Dragoon Ratings== ===3067=== '''Dragoon Rating: B'''<ref name=MSU_24/> ==Composition History== ===3067=== *'''The 48th''' ([[BattleMech]] [[Battalion]])<ref name=MSU_24/> **CO: [[Major]] Michio Namihito ==Notes== * The unit's name is rumored to be based on Namihito’s ''[[Panther]]'' being designated with the unit number “48” on the Fifth Amphigean's rolls at the time of their destruction.<ref name=MSU_24/> ==References== <references /> ==Bibliography== * ''[[Initiation to War]]'' * ''[[Mercenaries Supplemental Update]]'' [[Category:Mercenary Commands|The 48th]]
