History
From 3010 to 3030 the unit was employed by the Federated Suns. Their next contract would have brought them to the Magistracy of Canopus. A misjump sent them off course to the Samoyedic-Colonies in the deep Periphery. Over the years they would form a close relationship with them. Once three decades worth of repair work to their Star Lord Class JumpShip was completed and many of the original Coyotes members died due to virus on Samoyedic. Some of the survivors of the unit decided to remain behind and help defend their new homes, while many of the unit's descendants decided to return to civilization. In 3063, the unit returned to the Inner Sphere with only one Battalion worth of troops.
By 3067, the unit found employment with the Word of Blake, and likely participated in the Jihad. The command had shown a brutality unknown from them. Rumors suggest the WoB held Samoyedic-Colonies as a hostage.
Officers
Martin Blanc is the grandson of former unit commander Colonel Enzo Wylie. He is a respected field commander and a unknown quantity.
Tactics
The unit fights with a pack mentality. During battle one company attacks then fades away while another company from another direction attacks next and so on.
