Beaufort's Cossacks were a mercenary unit and as of 2970 employed by the Federated Suns and located on Moravian.
History[edit]
Led by one Colonel Regnus, the unit became known for a peculiar mutiny in 2970: A clause in their contract with the government stipulated that all unit members would get a free meal twice a week at a local Triple-F restaurant, the most popular food chain in the Federated Suns at the time. Shortly after the arrival of Beaufort's Cossacks on the planet Capellan Confederation naval forces blockaded the planet. When the mercenaries did not get exactly what they ordered from Triple-F, Colonel Regnus accused Triple-F of defaulting on the unit's food supply contract to which the manager replied by blaming the naval blockade for supply shortages (which was presumably untrue given that Triple-F only had to import pickles, sesame seeds, and whale meat from offworld). This in turn caused the Cossacks to go on a rampage against Colonel Regnus' orders, commandeering civilian vehicles, shouting, discharging their weapons and storming the Triple-F franchise, demanding pickles and also items that Triple-F did not actually use in their products (suggesting they might have mixed Triple-F up with a smaller competing chain).[1]
Since no civilians were hurt despite all the commotion and weapons discharges, Colonel Regnus took no disciplinary action.
The whole incident was covered in "From A Child's History of Mutinies", by Henrietta Chabriole, Subversive Press, 3021.[1]
