History

The unit is a long term contract signer with the LCAF and later the FedCom. The 2 regiment strong command participated in the War of 3039. They landed on Altais, supporting the 8th Donegal Guards and Gray Death Legion in the first wave of the Commonwealth Thrust. They faced the 1st Ghost and 2nd Ghost regiments, driving them off world.[1] The world would be isolated in the DCMS counterattack, however, and in November 3039 the LCAF withdrew.[2]

Later they fought against the Jade Falcon Clan on Quarrell. This battle cost them a lot of equipment. Because they hid some of the captured Clan technology, the Dragonslayers were accused of breaking their contract, and were later found guilty by the MRBC. (The Dragonslayers did in fact withhold equipment from the Federated Commonwealth, but the unit did so because the FC was feeding them incorrect information about the location of captured Dragonslayers personnel.[3])

In 3066, the unit supported Marshigam’s Legionnaires on Conquista during a raid, but suffered heavy loses. After this, their new employer was the Marian Hegemony. Stationed on Lissa, where they defended the new General Motors production line against several bandit raids. The Marian high command ordered the mercs to search & destroy the base of the raiders. The command captured a huge amount of equipment (2 companies), as well as an Overlord dropship. The traces of the leaders were found on Valerius. There, the rebel cell were captured and executed, the local people making an uprise against these deaths. The local forces began anti-riot campaigns to calm the situation. During another raid against another bandit base, the unit captured a WoB demiprecentor during a weapon deal.

Sometime in the Dark Age the Dragonslayers assaulted Valerius. This assault was later described as "horrific."[4]
