York Regulars

The York Regulars brigade was a late Star League Era regional BattleMech Brigade that was formed by secessionist under leadership of Duke of York during the time of the original Lyran Commonwealth.

History

Failed Secession

In the 27th Century, the Duke of York made a bid for seceded his region from the Lyran Commonwealth. Not all of his York Regulars joined his secessionist party and became loyalist in the conflict to come. Ultimately the Duke failed, most of the brigade was sundered only the loyalist unit that survived the conflict.

Star League Era

Of the brigade only three of the Regular survived the disaster with Duke of York succession attempt. All part of the loyalists who sided with the Commonwealth, the three regiments became part of Lyran Commonwealth Armed Forces as regular brigade.

However, by the 2765 the three regiments became dumping grounds for the LCAF. The 23rd York Regulars, nicknamed the Pride, became the home of MechWarriors with social general mentality. Green in their skills, they're were by this time rather unorganized on the battlefield.

Known as Envy, the 27th York Regulars staffed with elite MechWarriors who had been dumped into this regiment due their lack of social standings with Lyran hierarchy. These warriors became troubleshooting unit for the Archon due their excellence on the field. Many transfer to the unit on purpose to avoid the political infighting that most Commonwealth. The 27th is bright side of a problem brigade, is ask act alone in its tasks for the high command. The unit was noted it's actions routing Rim Worlds Republic raiders making incursion into the Commonwealth. Forcing the Republican forces back to Star's End.

The third regiment of the brigade, the 31st York Regulars is known as Gluttony. The 31st became the dumping grounds for low-level criminals and questionable soldiers of the Armed Forces. The unit is staffed with entire Ryder family serving the Commonwealth, with high rank officer a major in charge of one of the regiment's battalions. The regiment aside from being home of malcontents of the Brigade, also staff with extra platoon of Military Police to maintain order among the regiment's ranks. Aside from its self-destructive problems, the unit performs well on the battlefield as unified unit unlike its sister unit, the 23rd which barely combat ready.
