History
Founded in the early 30th century the command was hired by the DCMS in 3023, when they have reached regimental strength. The command surrender after they meet an overwhelming force on the lyran border. After the 4th Succession War they worked for the fedcom. For the next three decades the contract was extended every time until 3052 when they signed a new one with the FWLM.
The Marik high command accused the mercs to take bribes from the smugglers, but the intervention of the WoB changed their attitude. The unit signed a new contract with the Blakists. During the invasion of Dieron the mercs supported the 8th Division but was destroyed in 3070 through the Ghost Bears, who liberate the planet from the Blakists.
Officer
Hannibal Aufkophen rebuilt the heavly damaged unit from the ground up.
Tactic
The second batt search the terrain to find the enemy and call the 1st and 3rd to deliver the final punch. In defensive engagements the third is the anvil, because the first is the hammer. The 2nd act as reserve.
Support
The unit gain support from the WoB, because the unit lacks sufficient tech. The unit posses one DropShips for half of the command but the only JumpShip can’t carry them at once (Leviathan-class).
