A posting to the Cohort is seen as a death sentence with little chance of a pardon, though some have been granted posthumously.<ref name=fmp83>''Field Manual: Periphery'', p. 83</ref> ==History== ==History== − Upon joining the Cohort, each member's forehead is branded with the state insignia, indicating that they are now the Hegemony's property. Non-officers are little better than slaves with no legal rights, confined to "barracks" and constantly guarded. Despite this, the morale of the unit is macabrely stable, they even have a burgeoning sense of pride as they survive near-suicide missions just to spite the Hegemony leadership.<ref name=fmp83/>+ {{Sectionstub}} − The Cohort is assigned the '''''Auxilia Ripariensis''''', these act as a military police force to ensure order and keep the Cohort in line.<ref name=fmp83/>+ ==Officers== + As of [[3064]] to [[3067]] the commanding officer of the unit is ''[[Legatus]]'' Winston Sorfleet, he became the command after [[Sean O'Reilly's]] death, he is also in [[3085]] the unit's commander.<ref name=FMP83>''Field Manual: Periphery'', p. 83, "Cohors Morituri Unit Profile"</ref><ref name=FMU202>''Field Manual: Updates'', p. 202, "Marian Hegemony Armed Forces Deployment Table - 3067"</ref><ref name=FM3085p150>''Field Manual: 3085'', p. 150, "Marian Hegemony Deployment Table - 3085"</ref> − The unit remained in Hegemony Space during the invasion of the [[Circinus Federation]] of [[3066]] and was on hand to repel a battalion of [[Black Warriors]] that attacked Alphard and the Marian Capital. The ''Cohors Morituri'' destroyed them utterly in three engagements and recovered a small number of surviving enemy [[MechWarrior (pilot)|MechWarriors]] who were subsequently interrogated and confirmed that the Circinus Federation was receiving material assistance from the [[Word of Blake]].<ref>''Field Manual: Updates'', p. 195</ref> + ==Tactics== + The unit has no special tactic abilities.<ref name=FMP83/> + + ==Composition History== + ===3064=== + '''Cohors Morituri''' (1 [[Cohort]]/Regular/Questionable)<ref name=FMP83/> + * CO: ''Legatus'' Winston Sorfleet − Towards the end of the Jihad, the ''Cohors Morituri'' was redeployed to the world of [[Valerius]], a world which had been spared the battles many other worlds saw during the Circinian invasion of the Hegemony and the following Marian counterattack.<ref name="FR:Pp15">''Field Report: Periphery'', p. 15: "Marian Hegemony"</ref> Only colonized in [[3064]],<ref>''Field Manual: Updates'', p. 194</ref> Valerius was free of the uprisings and insurrection that plagued the conquered worlds of the Illyrian and Lothian districts, making the posting a respite for the condemned warriors of the ''cohors''. The ''cohors'' continued to be regarded as an unreliable command, as it was acknowledged that the successes the ''cohors'' achieved against the Circinians were largely due to the suicidal lack of self-preservation many in the unit demonstrated as they sought death on the battlefield as a release from the punishment of service amidst the ''Morituri''.<ref name="FR:Pp15"/>+ '''Auxilia Ripariensis''' (1 [[Maniple]]/Veteran/Reliable)<ref name=FMP83/> + * CO: ''[[Principes]]'' William Bejamin + - The Auxilia operates most of the time as a military force. − The Cohort was rotated off Valerius at the end of the [[Jihad]] and transferred to [[Marius' Tears]] and [[Horatius]] in anti-pirate operations. In their first engagement, one of their ''[[Union]]''-class DropShips was shot down with the loss of the company of 'Mechs on board, although later encounters were more successful.<ref>''Field Manual: 3085'', p. 144</ref>+ ===3067=== + '''Cohors Morituri''' (1 Cohort/Regular/Questionable)<ref name=FMU202/> + * CO: ''Legatus'' Winston Sorfleet − ==Officers==+ '''Morituri Auxilia Cohors''' (1 [[Maniple]]/Veteran/Reliable)<ref name=FMU202/> − {| class="wikitable"+ * CO: ''Legatus'' Trace Cranston − |- − ! scope="col" width="220" style="background: #dedede;" | Rank − ! scope="col" width="220" style="background: #dedede;" | Name − ! scope="col" width="220" style="background: #dedede;" | Command − |- − | colspan="4" style="background: #efefef;" | '''Commanding Officers of the ''Cohors Morituri''''' − |- − | ''[[Legatus]]''||[[Winston Sorfleet]]||[[3063]] - [[3085]]<ref name=fmp83/><ref name=FMU202>''Field Manual: Updates'', p. 202: "Marian Hegemony Armed Forces Deployment Table - 3067"</ref><ref name=FM3085p150>''Field Manual: 3085'', p. 150: "Marian Hegemony Deployment Table - 3085"</ref> − |- − | ''Legatus''||[[Robert Willard]]||[[3145]]<ref name=TRO3145>''Field Manual: 3145'', p. 202</ref> − |- − |} − {| class="wikitable"+ ===3085=== − |-+ '''Cohors Morituri''' (Regular/Questionable)<ref name=FM3085p150/> − ! scope="col" width="220" style="background: #dedede;" | Rank+ * CO: ''Legatus'' Winston Sorfleet − ! scope="col" width="220" style="background: #dedede;" | Name − ! scope="col" width="220" style="background: #dedede;" | Command − |- − | colspan="4" style="background: #efefef;" | '''Commanding Officers of the ''Auxilia Ripariensis''''' − |- − | ''[[Principes]]''||[[William Benjamin]]||[[3064]] - [[3085]]<ref name=fmp83/> − |- − | ''Legatus''||[[Trace Cranston]]||[[3067]]<ref name=FMU202/> − |- − | ''Legatus''||[[Alboin Kadlec]]||[[3085]]<ref name=FM3085p150/> − |- − |} − ==Tactics==+ '''Morituri Auxilia Cohors''' (Regular/Questionable)<ref name=FM3085p150/> − The unit has no special tactic abilities.<ref name=fmp83/>+ * CO: ''Legatus'' Alboin Kadlec − ==Composition History== + ==Notes== − ===3064-3085=== − '''''Cohors Morituri''''' ([[Cohort]]/Regular/Questionable)<ref name=fmp83/> − * Comprising 18 aging BattleMechs and a few tanks in 3064. − '''''Auxilia Ripariensis''''' ([[Maniple]]/Veteran/Reliable)<ref name=fmp83/>+ ==Rules== − * Infantry and light armor.<ref name=fmp83/><ref name=FMU202/><ref name=FM3085p150/> ==References== ==References== <references /> <references /> − ==Bibliography== ==Bibliography== − * ''[[Field Manual: 3085]]'' + *''[[Field Manual: 3085]]'' − * ''[[Field Manual: 3145]]''+ *''[[Field Manual: Periphery]]'' − * ''[[Field Manual: Periphery]]'' + *''[[Field Manual: Updates]]'' − * ''[[Field Manual: Updates]]'' − * ''[[Field Report: Periphery]]'' − − [[Category:Marian Hegemony Commands|Cohors Morituri]] + [[Category:Marian Hegemony Military Commands|Cohors Morituri]]
