History
Formed after the 4th Succession War as reaction to Coordinator Takashi Kurita's infamous Death to Mercenaries Order, many smaller mercenary commands were forced to leave the Draconis Combine and gathered under the leadership of Colonel Jürgen Petersen on Galatea. Their first contract would bring them to the Free Rasalhague Republic and the battles against Ronin forces. The next contract was with the AFFC. During this time they support line units and made raids against Clans forces for the DCMS. After that they worked first for the Lyran Alliance and then the FWLM until now.
In 3069 the unit get a contract from the restistance leader in the FWL. Transported to the planet Hall for a scout mission the mercs fight over a year against the Blakists, were they lost their commanding officer and 1 battalion. After a retreat back to Oliver the mercs must fight again against the Blakists 12th Division (the former 6th Free Worlds Legionnaires). The resistance movement could only save one a company of mixed forces from Oliver.
The surviving members of the Legion were destroyed on the world of Alphard in the Free Worlds League on the 29th of June, 3073, by the 52nd Shadow Division.[1][2]
