History

Outworlds Alliance President Mitchell Avellar initiated the Long Road Program in 3056, a sweeping series of reforms across the Alliance. As part of the Long Road Program, President Avellar received a temporary waiver from Parliament and hired mercenary companies to reinforce the Alliance Ground Defense Arm (AGDA). By 3058 Bammer's Bunch and the Thermo Police mercenary companies were two of five mercenary commands hired, stationed on Rudolpho and Tellman IV respectively. [3]

Between 3058 and 3064, Bammer's Bunch and the Thermo Police were chosen to be the foundation unit of the 1st Long Road Legion (1LRL) under the 2nd Alliance Air Wing. The former mercenary companies became the core of the Command Battalion and Chairman Seymore Hares of the Thermo Police was chosen as 1st LRL Commander. 2nd Battalion/1LRL is an armor battalion and 3rd Battalion/1LRL is a reinforced infantry battalion. By 3064 the 1LRL is stationed on Lushann. [1]

In 3066, low morale in the Second Battalion almost led to defeat by raiders on Risin, but Chairman Roper was able to rally his troops.[4]
