Laws Flight
Sarna News
The Laws Flight were a helicopter-only mercenary unit in the Succession Wars era, and were noted users of the Warrior H-7 attack helicopter.
History
In 3021, they defended Kimball VI against a raid by Wilson's Hussars (who were then working for Redjack Ryan). In this action, Laws Flight harrassed the lighter elements of the raiding force and lured them into Serval Canyon, a box canyon where infantry ambushed the attackers with man-portable short-range missile launchers and inferno missiles.[1] The raiders retreated, leaving three crippled 'Mechs behind.[2] (One source[3] refers to this action as the famous "defense of Kimball II in 3021", which is apparently in error. It should be noted that Kimball II is indeed the primary inhabited world in the Kimball system, with Kimball VI only a minor mining outpost.)
After that, the unit was moved to Liezen once the planet had been recaptured by the LCAF to help in counter-insurgency operations in mountains. During those years not many rebels were shot. This ended up with morale issues, boredom an then sloppy behaviour. Finally only for Warriors were left operational.
