History

Formation

Raised by a retired member of the Northwind Highlanders in 3014.[1]

4th Succession War

In the 4th Succession War two companies retreated after the failed defense of Tigress but one defected to the Federated Suns. The other two companies were later used on Kawich where they took part in Operation Riposte and this time both defected to the Federated Suns.[1]

Known as the only all-female mercenary unit in the Inner Sphere.

Andurien/Canopus Invasion

War of 3039

During the War of 3039 Laurel's Legion and the 8th Crucis Lancers took Biham. The Legion was responsible for taking the Tiberius gas mining facility, which it did with no losses.[2] When the 5th Ghost and 6th Ghost regiments arrived to recover the system for the Draconis Combine, the Legion attempted to provide support for the embattled Eighth Lancers. Unfortunately the Eighth's commander was dismissive of the Legion's aid, and the two forces couldn't communicate effectively as a result. This allowed the two Ghost regiments to force the AFFS units out of the system.[3]


Xin Sheng Campaign

The Legion remains at battalion strength with regard to the BattleMech corps. In last time he has also picked up two battalions of infantry, the Tigress Citizens' Brigade. Each member is an expatriate from Tigress. When we return home, it will be my greatest pleasure to discharge them and name the citizens of Tigress and of the Confederation, says Sang-shao Laurel.[4]
