History[edit]
A rare example of a mercenary unit formed after the start of the Jihad, they are also unusual in being an infantry only outfit. The Star Seeds were first registered as a mercenary unit on Galatea in 3068. The entire unit is trained in zero-g operations and they are all experts in marine boarding actions.[1]
The origins of this group is unknown, but many have speculated that they may be former Word of Blake ROM, DEST, or Black Warriors. [1]
In 3073, the Star Seeds were stationed on Arcturus along with several other mercenary units in the employ by Chandrasekhar Kurita. While there, they were attacked by the Opacus Venatori, 40th Shadow Division, Burr's Black Cobras, and the 2nd Division (Word of Blake). During this assault, the 40th and Black Cobras attacked the Periphery Star Guard's base, and Blakist double agents in the Star Seeds mercenary unit activated bombs and destroyed the Star Guard's DropShip. Only quick action by the Crescent Hawks saved the last two members of the Star Guard.[2]
