History
The Dragonslayers were a mercenary unit working under long term contracts with the LCAF and later the FedCom. During the Ronin War they were used by the Duke of Tamar to try to prevent Kandis from joining the Free Rasalhague Republic.[1] The pro-Republic forces hired the Insect Brigade to counter the Dragonslayer's presence, and a tense standoff was resolved only when the two units came to blows. The two mercenary forces and the population of Kandis were whipped into a frenzy, and many lives were lost.[2] Repairs to the planet's HPG allowed word to reach Tharkad and the Archon ordered the 3rd Lyran Guards to restore order. At the same time, the Free Rasalhague representatives petitioned Kanrei Theodore Kurita to intervene, and he sent the Shin Legion. The Dragonslayers were forced to surrender by the Shin Legion.[3]
The two 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.[4] The world would be isolated in the DCMS counterattack, however, and in November 3039 the LCAF withdrew.[5]
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.[6])
In 3066, the unit supported Marshigam’s Legionnaires on Conquista during a raid, but suffered heavy loses.[7] 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 and destroy the base of the raiders. The command captured a huge amount of equipment (two 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.
The Dragonslayers were posted to Valerius in 3079.[8] In 3081 the Dragonslayers were still on Valerius. Five of their MechWarriors were kidnapped, killed, and beheaded. The heads were left in a bag near the Dragonslayer base. The Dragonslayers retaliated by destroying the neighborhood that held the factory with the log on the bag. This heavy handed action spurred the Valerians to move from civil disobedience to outright rebellion.[9] This assault was later described as "horrific" and led to the Lothian League rebelling against the Marian Hegemony.[10] It also prompted the Hegemony's V Legio to rebel.[11] They remained on Valerius in 3085.[12]
