House Kroger
Family Profile
Title(s) Martial family
Affiliation Eridani Light Horse

House Kroger were a Martial family with a long history with the Eridani Light Horse.[1][2][3]

History[edit]

House Kroger descends from Major Teller Kroger, commander of the 50th Heavy Cavalry Battalion ("Bloody Half-Hundred") of the Eridani Light Horse's 151st Light Horse Regiment as of 2798, who led the assault on Sendai to avenge the slaughter of the Light Horse's civilian dependents by Draconis Combine authorities later remembered as the Sendai Massacre.[4]

Stemming from this incident, command of the Bloody Half-Hundred became a hereditary position, being held by House Kroger until at least the Dark Age.[1][2][3]

Known members of the family[edit]

Family Heirlooms and Holdings[edit]

The family held, apart from the hereditary command of the Bloody Half-Hundred, a BattleMaster handed down from Teller Kroger. By the Dark Age, while it wasn't entirely certain if the 'Mech remained precisely the same one, the family's BattleMaster was a BLR-1S-A model and nicknamed "Eve of Destruction".[3][2]
