| − | ==History==
| |
| − | Formed in October of [[3066]], the '''Chaos Irregulars''' was the fusion of two previous mercenary units: [[Sorenson's Strikers]] & [[Peregrine's Hussars]]. The command is unique for its structure: it has two co-commander positions, instead of the traditional commander & executive officer billets. The unit's joint-command structure was submitted to [[MRBC]]. The unit's initial first short-term contracts were with various organizations, such as [[Ronin Inc.]] and [[Mosiro]] [[Mosiro University|University]] of [[Al-llb]].
| |
| | | | |
| − | The unit moved anti-spinward, to the Periphery border, where it roamed the frontiers of the [[Lyran Alliance]] and the [[Free Worlds League]], taking short-term contracts from smaller worlds in the Melissa Theater and [[Rim Commonality]].
| + | {{Disambig}} |

| − | Prior to the unit's formation, Peregrine's Hussars were heavily liked with both [[Smithson's Chinese Bandits]] & the [[Broadsword Legion]] whom were involved in sacking of [[Outreach]] in [[3067]]. Evidence indicates Colonel [[Gabriel Peregrine]] purchased the Peregrine-Simson's [[Huron Warrior]]. However, Ariel claimed to not know about her father's connections were with the [[Word of Blake]], which left suspicions regarding her command's leanings. These suspicions were not lifted until mid-[[3068]] when the Irregulars were fighting the Blakists. The unit suffered grevious damage from those battles, being reduced to a third of its original strength.

| − | More presistently, the unit labored under allegations of involvement with piracy. The [[11th Arcturan Guards]] had posted the Irreugulars on their criminal watch list. However, the governments that they worked to defend included [[Main Street]], [[New St. Andrews]], and [[Campoleone]], all areas with hotly disputed allegations of piracy. The [[8th Lyran Regulars]] deployed elements of the Irregulars with them on two occasions.

| − | The unit had been known to have the best tech support on the Periphery border, which kept their strength strong. The unit used civilian carriers based out of the Timbuktu Theater of Lyran Alliance for its transportation needs. They exchanged protection services for interstellar transport to their various jobs.
| |
| − | | |
| − | As of [[3071]], the unit had added a company of BattleMechs, infantry and armor to their roster. The new additions were rumored to be from the remains of other commands destroyed by the Word of Blake in the Periphery. The command's cited security concerns did not comfirm nor deny any these rumors, which resulted in a ranking of "Questionable". The co-commanders of the unit advised doubters of their integrity to look elsewhere.

| − | ==Officers==
| |
| − | *Colonel [[Ariel Peregrine-Simson]] - Native of [[Outreach]] & graduate of [[Wolf Dragoon]]'s [[Outreach Mercenary Training Command]]. She was a shrewd strategist and uncompromising commander. She piloted a custom ''[[Huron Warrior]]'' [[BattleMech]].
| |
| − | *Colonel [[Obadiah Chowla |Obadiah "Jake" Chowla]] - A gifted [[MechWarrior]] of uncertain origin who rose to command with little or no formal training. He was a charismatic leader, known for multi-level down-and-dirty tactics.

| − | ==Tactics==
| |
| − | The Irregulars engaged the enemy from multiple points, receiving the description of a mystical multi-headed hydra. Both commanders were known to be front-line fighters.
| |

| − | ==Composition==
| |
| − | The unit described itself as a "heavy battalion." It was deliberately imprecise in its designation. The unit was trained to split apart into designated or ''ad hoc'' formations, such special companies or demi-companies, for special purposes and general confusion for the enemy. The unit (as of [[3071]]) consisted of thirty-nine BattleMechs of mixed age & classes. The Irregulars employed two companies of regular infantry & a platoon of conventional armor, which was regularly assigned as security. It only had one DropShip, a [[Seeker]] kept in perfect operational order.

| − | ==Notes==
| |
| − | After the [[Jihad]], the Irregulars decided to join the [[Rim Commonality]], becoming the [[1st Rim Commonality Guard]]. The unit has retained its combat tactics, as well as least one of it co-commanding officers, [[Alethea Chowla II]].
