The ''Bleeding Eagles'' was an unit said to be formed with [[Free Worlds League]] expatriates. They were active already in [[3151]], and in [[Galatea]], ''the Mercenary Star'', where contracted by a newborn state: the [[Tamar Pact]], specifically, by [[Sarah Regis]], the Pact's leader. As the Pact was very exigent, they must have had a good reputation and prestige.<ref> ''Tamar Rising'', p. 28 </ref>

Their first assignment was to take the planet [[Graceland]]. The Eagles' commander, colonel Barnes, was received by a man called [[Donal Malthus]], member of [[House Malthus]]. Despite being a organized crime family from the [[Lyran Commonwealth]], the colonel recognized he had took command of the planet after the [[Clan Jade Falcon]]s have departed. After negotiating, Malthus agreed to form an alliance, entering the Pact, provided the Eagles remained at Graceland protecting it.<ref> ''Tamar Rising'', p. 31 </ref>
However, the Eagles had some disputes in Galatea with the [[Twenty-first Centauri Lancers]], another of the main units working for the Pact. These escalated during the way to Arcturus, and the 21st even asked specifically to not be deployed along them or [[Burnt Offering]] except in emergencies.<ref> ''Tamar Rising'', p. 83 </ref>

The Eagles, when participated at the battle of [[Pandora]], the 23 December, like the Offering, failed to coordinate with the Lancers, which later led to several near fiascos, leaving the 21th needlessly bogged down.<ref> ''Tamar Rising'', p. 29 </ref>

The [[Killer Bees]], a subcommand of the 21th, made their point during a combat exercise on [[Arcturus]]. They bombarded the Eagles' column, but not with chalk munitions, but with canisters which covered their 'Mechs, tanks and dismounting infantry with dozens of liters of honey-flavored quillar syrup. A meeting of both commands, after a much-needed showers, resulted on an airing grievances, and both units agreed to better coordination.<ref> ''Unit Digest: Killer Bees'', p. 201-202 </ref>
