The '''Star Warriors''' were a [[mercenary unit]] of [[regiment]]al size, and as of October [[3027]]<ref>Date for the Ramsau III-A mission specified as 7 October 3027 in Scenario "On the Shores of a Sea on Gordo"</ref> were in the employ of [[House Steiner]]. By this time the unit had seen 27 major actions and numerous smaller skirmishes and holding actions, mostly working for [[House Davion]], and had a high opinion of themselves. In October 3027 they took part in an invasion of the [[Ramsau]] system as a short-term contract for Steiner. As part of the invasion plan a small detachment of six [[BattleMech]]s from the Star Warriors was deployed to Ramsau's large tidally locked moon Ramsau III-A aka Gordo, with orders to destroy Gordo Alpha base, an enemy Command, Control & Communication facility. The attacks—both on Gordo and on Ramsau III proper—ran into stronger-than-expected resistance and the invasion force retreated before committing fully. The Star Warriors lost a ''[[Griffin]]'' in the fighting on Gordo.<ref name=D>''Decompression''</ref>

The attack against Ramsau was carried out by one ''[[Overlord]]'' and six ''[[Union]]''-class DropShips carrying the main BattleMech strike force, plus three wings of [[aerospace fighter]]s and six ''[[Leopard]]''-class DropShips carrying [[Combat Vehicle|armor]] and [[infantry]], in addition to the modified ''Leopard'' that brought six 'Mechs to Gordo. It is not stated whether all of the combat troops and DropShips were part of the Star Warriors mercenary regiment.<ref name=D/>
