History
Bannockburn's Bandits are a Mercenary unit that attempts to hold to the traditions and honors of an earlier, perhaps more civilized time. Though they do not hold the vaunted history of such notable legions as the Eridani Light Horse or the Northwind Highlanders, Bannockburn's Bandits hold fast to a series of traditions and rituals they have created in this current era of war.
Though little is known of the history of Bannockburn's Bandits prior to their initial contract with the Taurian Concordat in 2997, it is known they original hale from the Inner Sphere and left it on unfriendly terms due to their treatment by Draconis Combine.[1]
Since that initial contract the Bandits have been a fixture in the Taurian Concordat and have loyally served in defense of Concordat citizenry ever since. They have served consecutive contracts and show no signs of breaking the faith with the Concordat and their peoples. Most recently, the Bandits refused to sign with the breakaway Calderon Protectorate, going so far as to publicly and harshly rebuke the offer, though it was on the surface a much more lucrative contract.[2]
Because of this and their exemplary service to the Taurian Concordat as well as their participation in the Pleiades Cluster campaign, the Battlemechs of the Bandits have been upgraded to the best technologies available in the Concordat, with over 45% of the units Mech having the more advanced Inner Sphere technologies installed.[3][2]
