The Wylde Cards
Formed 2859
Affiliation Mercenary
Parent Command

The Wylde Cards was a mercenary unit of unspecified size and composition raised in 2859, during the Second Succession War. Context suggests[1] they were a 'Mech regiment.

The unit was in Draconis Combine employ, rated a medium-weight regular unit at full strength, and considered to be of questionable loyalty. By 2864 they had reportedly lost their ability to function as a combat unit, and weren't reconstituted afterwards.[2]

Notes

  • Submitted by BattleTech fan Ayden Ryken, The Wylde Cards were one of the fan submitted mercenary unit names selected by Catalyst Game Labs for use in the Second Succession War sourcebook.[3]
