Redfield Renegades

History

Formation

The Redfield Renegades (also occasionally referred to as Redfield's Renegades) were formed after the Capellan Confederation captured the planet Redfield in 2760 the remains of the planetary militia under the command of the eldest son of the former Governor Angus Redfield, made the life of the Capellan occupation force difficult. Redfield was later liberated through the AFFC, sworn to avenge his family Angus Redfield created his own mercenary command from the remaining militia forces under his command. The unit for the next few centuries sworn to seek revenge against the Capellan Confederation.

Fourth Succession War

In the war's first wave, the Renegades performed a highly successful tactical drop on the House Liao family estate on the planet Liao, behind the Capellan Hussars lines. The unit was sent to support the 4th Davion Guards and 4th Deneb Light Cavalry in their invasion of the Capellan world Aldebaran. Suffering heavy casualties against the 2nd Battalion of Warrior House Ijori, only the arrival of the other Davion supporting units saved them from complete destruction.

In service to House Marik

After the 4th Succession War they entered employment with the FWLM.

As of 3050, they were based on Harsefeld.

During Operation Guerrero they must support their former enemy, the CCAF. 3067 on Epsilon Eridani, they discovered (in employ for the CCAF) a SLDF cache, but must defended against the Lone Star Regiment. The Renegades were defeated, and suffered losses equivalent to a battalion.

The contract with the Capellan Confederation ended, and the unit was quickly hired by the Word of Blake. Their contract included technology updates and a large amount of cash. They were quickly assigned to take Irian away from forces loyal to the "false" Captain-General. They made planetfall in 3069 and quickly conquered the world. However a resistance movement quickly grew up, and inflicted heavy losses on the Renegades. They were forced to hole up in the factory complexes and wait for the Word of Blake to rescue them. The unit was pulled off the front lines to rebuild when the HeavyHell Raisers arrived to reinforce them.
