Gael's Grinders was a mercenary unit formed shortly before Operation GUERRERO.
History[edit]
Gael's Grinders were raised in 3055 through the efforts of Louise Holley. The Grinders supported the First and Second McCarron's Armored Cavalry in the capture of Hsien during Operation GUERRERO, and were left as garrison force on the planet.[1] The unit was plagued by scandal durings its deployment on Hsien. They were accused of turning the entire command into a spy agency, with its "agents" in a campaign of "bedside diplomacy" that resulted in peace from 3058 to 3064.[1]
In 3064, when a Word of Blake Level III unit accompanied by the Hsien Hotheads landed on the planet. The pro-Capellan/pro–Federated Suns factions reached a temporary truce and hired the Always Faithful mercenary unit to try and broker a peace. The arrival of Always Faithful led to the unit being sidelined from a military action.[1] Despite this the Grinders remained on Hsien, wearing Liao green colors. In 3067 Captain Holley had to fire one of her MechWarriors when it became public that the warrior was wanted for running a prostitution ring. Holley's shaded past was a growing problem for the unit, with scandal after scandal damaging their reputation.[1]
In 3068 the command disappeared while Blakist forces destroyed Always Faithful.[2]
