Unit Description

History

Founding

The Fox Company, 2nd Battalion, 142nd Battle Regiment, 251st BattleMech Division under command of Captain Kieran McKinnon refused to follow General Kerensky into exile and choose instead to join the AFFS in return for titles and lands on Kestrel. Together with other independent commands they were formed into the 7th Crucis Lancers.[citation needed]

The Succession Wars

The first assignment for the 7th Crucis Lancers and McKinnon's Company was the defense of Kentares IV against the DCMS at the beginning of the First Succession War where they fought a guerrilla war until rescued by a Davion taskforce. Before their retraction an infantryman attached to McKinnon's Company shot Coordinator Minoru Kurita leading to the infamous Kentares Massacre.[citation needed]

After the years at the Combine front the company served as an independent command at the Periphery and Capellan boarders, participated in raids on Sian and St. Ives and earned themselves the name McKinnon's Raiders.[citation needed]

In 3013, while the company was rebuilding on New Avalon, Ross McKinnon foiled a plot to assassinate Prince Hanse Davion. As reward for their loyalty the Raiders earned themselves the nickname "The Fox Teeth".[citation needed]

Ronin War

During the formation of the Free Rasalhague Republic, the Fox's Teeth was contributed by the AFFS and sent to train the forming Kungsarme units. Based on Tukayyid, while half the force was on training maneuvers with their training cadre, Ronin forces arrived in-system to conduct a food raid, almost overunning the Fox's Teeth base camp before being driven off. Mark McKinnon, Ian's brother, was killed holding off the attacking Ronin. Ian decided to take care of Mark's only child, David.

McKinnon's Raiders stood down after the Ronin Wars to rebuild before getting involved in the War of 3039.
