History
Outworlds Alliance President Mitchell Avellar initiated the Long Road Program in 3056, a sweeping series of reforms across the Alliance. As part of the Long Road Program, President Avellar received a temporary waiver from Parliament and hired mercenary companies to reinforce the Alliance Ground Defense Arm (AGDA). By 3058 the Simpson’s Sisters mercenary company were one of five mercenary commands hired and the company was stationed on Loparri. [2]
Between 3058 and 3064, Simpson’s Sisters were chosen to be the foundation unit of the 2nd Long Road Legion (2LRL) under the 4th Alliance Air Wing. The former mercenary company became the core of the Command Battalion and now Chairman Amanda Huggins was chosen as 2nd LRL Commander. 2nd Battalion/2LRL is an armor battalion and 3rd Battalion/2LRL is a reinforced infantry battalion. By 3064 the 2LRL is stationed on Lushann. [1]
By 3067 The 2nd began experimenting with Recovery Teams, an unconventional mixed formation able to recover battlefield salvage even under fire. The 2nd's successes made them the best equipped ground unit in the AGDA. [3] The Second Battalion was stationed on Sevon while the Command and 3rd remained on Lushann. [4]
In 3068, the 2nd Long Road Legion (along with the First Alliance Air Wing) supported the Swift Wing Naval Assault Star (Clan Snow Raven) raids of Enif, Galedon, and Tabayama in retaliation for the destruction of the CSRS White Cloud by the Draconis Combine. Several DropShips loaded with military hardware and technology were captured on Galedon. [5]
The Second Long Road Legion was confirmed on Baliggora in 3079 along with the 5th Alliance Air Wing but were reportedly there as early as 3069 in response to protests against the siege of Dante by Snow Raven and Alliance forces. The siege was in response to an attack by pirate and Word of Blake forces that had been operating on Dante since the early 3060s. [6]
By 3085 the 2nd Long Road Legion was stationed on Jordan Wais (Command Battalion) and Rudolpho (2nd and 3rd Battalions). At this time the Long Road Legions are no longer under the Alliance Air Wings. [7]
In 3145 all three battalions of the 2nd LRL were stationed on Pitkin. [8]
