History[edit]
When his unit attacked Susquehanna as the first target for the Ghost Bear's Beta Galaxy during the second wave of Operation REVIVAL in May 3050, the Clan invasion of the Inner Sphere, they found out that the planet was defended by a mercenary BattleMech company named the Regal Death with support from two battalions of heavy armor. To capture the planet the unit deployed a single Trinary, the Ninety-sixth Battle. The Ninety-sixth arrived at the agreed location to find no sign of their opponents; based on the conduct of a mercenary unit named the Black Omen during the first wave of the invasion, the Ninety-sixth expected to find no sign of their opposition but began hunting for them anyway. Unfortunately the Trinary's Bravo Battle Star, his star[1], walked into an ambush in the Vernaw Woods. There three of their number were destroyed by booby traps, while the mercenaries from their prepared fighting positions destroyed and seriously damaged the other two. The other two Stars arrived in time to save the last survivor of Bravo Star, attacking the mercenaries with such ferocity at Vernaw Woods and again at Silver Lake that every member of the Regal Death was killed. Many within the Ghost Bears were appalled with the conduct of the Regal Death, and a substantial number declared mercenaries to be dezgra, leading to mercenary units often failing to receive a batchall and few mercenary soldiers being taken as bondsmen.[2]
Bruno's fate after that fight is unknown.[citation needed]
