The mercenary '''Skinner's Scimitars''' is a unit of unknown origin that was defending on [[3050]] the planet [[Alleghe]].<ref name=20YU51>''20 Year Update'', p. 51, "KungsArme Deployment Table"</ref>
 
 
In March [[3050]] the planet was invaded by [[Supernova (unit)|Supernova Assault]] of [[Clan Wolf]]'s [[37th Striker (Clan Wolf)|Thirty-seventh Striker Cluster]]. Defending the planet were Skinner's Scimitars, a [[mercenary]] [['Mech]] [[battalion]], along with the Second and Fifth Alleghe Tank [[Regiment]]s and the First Alleghe Infantry Regiment. The two sides clashed at Stensele's Ag-Center and the Old Bolby Spaceport, where all but one of the Scimitars' companies was wiped out. The surviving mercenaries managed to evacuate off-planet to [[Rodigo]].<ref name="WCSB">''Wolf Clan Sourcebook'',  p. 57, "First Wave"</ref>
 
  
One company was able to evacuate offworld to Rodigo where they were finally destroyed by Clan Wolf units during the battle for New Starburg on May [[3050]].<ref name=WCS059>''Wolf Clan Sourcebook'', p. 59</ref> Rodigo was conquered by Clan Wolf during [[Operation Revival]] in May 3050.  Initially only [[Trinary|Trinary Command]] of the [[11th Battle (Clan Wolf)|11th Battle Cluster]], under the command of [[Star Colonel]] [[Abioseh Winson]], invaded Rodigo and landed inside New Starburg.  However they quickly found themselves pinned down by the enemy, which consisted not only of the [[New Starburg Militia|1st New Starburg Mechanized Cavalry]] Regiment but also the surviving elements of the [[Black Outlaws]] and Skinner's Scimitars, a pair of [[mercenary]] companies who had previously fought Clan Wolf at [[The Edge]] and Alleghe respectively.  Under fire from the swift vehicles of the cavalry regiment and a number of [['Mechs]] equivalent to two reinforced [[Company|companies]], Star Colonel Abioseh Winson reluctantly and embarrassingly was forced to break his bid and request the assistance of Star Colonel [[Dwillt Radick]] of [[16th Battle (Clan Wolf)|16th Battle Cluster]].  With the help of the 16th's [[Nova (unit)|Third Alpha Nova]] Clan Wolf succeeded in defeating the defenders.<ref>''Wolf Clan Sourcebook'', p. 59</ref>

The unit was nearly-destroyed by [[Clan Wolf]] on March 3050 by Supernova Assault (37th Strike Cluster, Delta Galaxy) during the invasion of Alleghe.<ref name=WCS057>''Wolf Clan Sourcebook'', p. 57</ref> One company was able to evacuate offworld to [[Rodigo]] were they were finally destroyed by Clan Wolf units during the battle for New Starburg on May [[3050]].<ref name=WCS059>''Wolf Clan Sourcebook'', p. 59</ref>
