'''Dragons breath''' was formed from former members of the [[17th Skye Rangers]] in 2989, they left the LAAF and gathered on Galatea for assignment. Their new employee was (with suprise) the LAAF. Until now they served their home state with destination.<ref name=MSIIp31>''Mercenaries Supplemental II'', p. 31, "Dragon's Breath Unit Profile"</ref>
 
 
In [[3025]], the unit was stationed on [[Winter]],<ref name=HSp118/> a post they still had in [[3040]].<ref name = HWo3039p140/>
 
  
By [[3050]], the unit was stationed on [[Rochelle]],<ref name=20YU57/> and by [[3059]] it was stationed on [[Xinyang]].<ref name=FMMercsp106/>

Under a new contract with the [[Federated Suns]] (possibly set up by the enigmatic Mr. [[Askai]]), Dragon's Breath participated in an ill-fated attack on [[Sian]] on 13 September [[3070]].<ref>''Mercenaries Supplemental: Update'', p. 12, "The Rolls of Honor"</ref> The defending CCAF and canopian forces destroyed the mercenaries in Word of Blake employ. <ref>''Blake Ascending'', p. 38, 281</ref>.

As of [[3145]], the Dragon's Breath were at ninety-five percent of full strength and still under contract to the Draconis Combine, now garrisoning the [[Irece]] system.<ref name="FM:3145p182"/>
