The Fighting Urukhai (also spelled "Uruk-hai", "Urakhai", or "Uraki" in different sources) is a Mercenary Unit that was mostly destroyed in 3066.

Unit History

The Fighting Urukhai were employed by the Federated Suns for most of their history. While under contract with the FedSuns, they crossed into the neighboring Taurian Concordat in April of 3066 following alleged contract disputes during the FedCom Civil War. The unit curiously arrived at Taurus at an irregular Jump Point. They were assumed to be hostiles, and were destroyed in short order by the defending Taurian Defense Force. [1][2]

Officers

  • In 3054 the unit's CO is General Bryan Holstead [4]
