Vong's Grenadiers

Formerly known as Ishara's Grenadiers.

History

The unit didn't see any action in the 4th Succession War.

The Homeworld of Vong's Grenadiers is Tsingtao. Assigned to reclaim Carver V from the Chaos March. Faced heavy opposition even before they landed and hung on for two months before being ordered back to Aldebaran for rest and refit.

The Ishara's Grenadiers attacked Arboris in 3057, where their first battalion was defeated by the combined forces of the remnants of the Arboris SMM (a mixed regiment of BattleMechs, armor, and infantry loyal to the FedCom) and the Farmers' Freedom Army (9+ infantry regiments). The FFA then turned on the Arboris SMM, forcing them to withdraw. Meanwhile, Ishara's Grenadiers withdrew to the capital city of Kansas Plain where they waited in vain for supplies from the CapCon. By the end of 3057, there was a three-way stalemate on Arboris, with the FFA and Arboris SMM suffering raids by the Grenadiers, while the SMM's commander kept failing in his efforts to enact a truce with the FFA.
