Starting in [[3050]] the Lone Star Regiment was employed by the [[TDF|Taurian Defense Force]]. In [[3067]] they were working on [[Epsilon Eridani]] when a [[lostech]] prospector found a crashed [[SLDF]] DropShip on the planet, sparking a race to the treasure. Around 20/21 May of that year, an accidental weapons discharge quickly escalated the tense situation into a shooting war between the [[Lone Star Regiment]] and another mercenary unit on planet, the [[Redfield Renegades]].<ref name=MSUp99>''Mercenaries Supplemental Update'', p. 99</ref><ref name=LGM/>
