Insignia of the 1st Dismal Disinherited
First Dismal Disinherited
Nickname O'Hare's Plague of Locusts[1]
Affiliation Mercenary
Parent Command Dismal Disinherited

History[edit]

While in Free Worlds League employ the unit could replace its losses with ease, because of the constant addition of new personnel. The fast-moving 'Mechs pinned down a much larger Kuritan force on Dromini IV. Then the 2nd regiment came in for the final assault. Only the breakdown of the Steiner defense saved the remaining DCMS forces.[citation needed]

At some point before 3029 there was such an influx of light, fast 'Mechs, particularly Locusts, that the unit was nicknamed O'Hare's Plague of Locusts.[2][1]

The Dismal Disinherited joined the Allied Mercenary Command in 3067.[3][4][5] The First was stationed on New Canton in 3067.[6]

The First Dismal Disinherited was on Outreach when the Word of Blake destroyed the world in their second assault. The First was destroyed along with the other defenders.[7]

Tactics[edit]

The First uses their speed for mobile combat. The Arrow IV barrages from the artillery element can deliver deadly strikes.
