'''The Brotherhood''' was one of the sub-units of [[Katana Tormark]]'s [[Dragon's Fury]].

==History==
 
==History==
The Brotherhood was effectively a volunteer militia. In the wake of the 3132 [[Blackout]], Katana Tormark recruited [[Draconis Combine]] descendants within the [[Republic of the Sphere]]. To break through any Republic identity and to appeal to suppressed Kuritan heritage, she crafted fabricated unit histories linking the Brotherhood to major events all across Kuritan space and history.<ref name=EDDAp15>''Era Digest: Dark Age'', p. 15: "The Brotherhood"</ref><ref name=FDFury>''Dragon's Fury'' Faction Dossier</ref> The Brotherhood constantly fluctuated in size, gathering local Combine supporters whenever it could on each assignment.<ref name=TPIrianp10>''Turning Points: Irian'', p. 10: "The Brotherhood"</ref>
+
The Brotherhood is less a regiment than an ad hoc collection of breakaway militia forces, armed peasant gangs and opportunistic adventurers scattered across a dozen worlds.  
  
Elements of '''The Brotherhood''' participated in the of [[Ronel]] in [[3133]]<ref name=INN>''Dark Age: 3132-3134 INN'', p. 169: "Interesting Times, Dangerous Places: #362 "The Clash of Swords"</ref>, where [[Dragon's Fury]] forces led by ''[[Tai-i]]'' [[Abeda Measho]] were repulsed by [[Captain]] [[Santiago Padilla]] and his [[Swordsworn]] forces. The Dragon's Fury arrived with a [[JumpShip]] and several [[DropShip]]s, one of them the ''[[Tako]]''.<ref name=BfR>''Roar of the Dragon: The Battle for Ronel''</ref>
+
By appealing to their long-suppressed Kuritan heritage and creating fictitious unit histories tying them to glorious events throughout [[Draconis Combine]] history, [[Katana Tormark]] has been able to get these widespread forces to work for her in her actions against the [[Republic of the Sphere]].
 
 
The unit participated in the complex 3133 [[Battle of Irian (3133)|clash over]] [[Irian]]. Its ability to gather supporters wherever it went paid off: with deep knowledge of the terrain and defenders, the Brotherhood seized the [[Irian Technologies]] ''[[Marauder II]]'' plant, holding it through mid-[[3135]]. Rusch pulled almost all forces back at that point, leaving only a battalion behind; the remnant on planet soon merged into the Irian militia.<ref>''Turning Points: Irian'', pp. 8-10</ref>
 
 
 
On 29 July [[3134]], a lance of the Brotherhood with two BattleMechs and two MODs launched a raid against [[Sadachbia]]. The force was annihilated by a lone [[Highlander IIC]], piloted by a woman calling herself ''the Banshee''. The only survivor, [[Yuri Agamato]], was blamed for it and left dispossessed.<ref>''Tales from the Cracked Canopy: No Rest for the Accursed''</ref>
