Contents
History
Formation
The Ironsides voided their contract with the Free Worlds League in 2976 over a dispute regarding overdue shipment of spare parts. Within six months they were contracted by House Liao and raided Cursa.[1]
"Lady Lockhardt's Lovelies" gained a reputation as good fighters in the siege of Fletcher in 2985, and in 2988 in the repulse of Kittery Borderers on Mitchel, using their large number of Warhammers to good effect. Around 3025 the Ironsides were pulled close to Sian in response to attacks against the commonality capital. [2]
4th Succession War & Andurien/Canopus Invasion
However, prior to the Fourth Succession War Ironsides barely maintained a regular quality rating, and the unit had no further chance to distinguish itself neither in the Fourth Succession War nor the Andurien-Canopus invasion a few years later as it didn't see any action. Throughout the Confederation’s lean years, when other units faced supply shortages of all kinds, the mercenaries managed to prosper by keeping quiet and hoarding what little support found its way to them.[citation needed]
