History[edit]
FedCom Civil War[edit]
In mid-September 3063 a contingent from the Third Alliance Air Wing was in transit to Alpheratz to enter into a martial competition when it received word from a refugee JumpShip that pirates were raiding the planet Dormandaine. The brief encounter allowed the forces from the Third to respond to the raid in hours, rather than the usual days, and on the 16th of September the Third's detachment - which included the Third Squadron of the Lone Wolves - was able to defend the recharge station at the nadir jump point in the system and defeat the bulk of the pirate forces in the atmosphere above the planet. One of the pilots from the Third sacrificed himself in a suicide run on a pirate Leopard-class DropShip to prevent the DropShip from deliberately crashing into a city on the planet.[1]
Border Raid of 3071[edit]
In late 3071, the unit was warned that Ramora was about to be raided. House Davion's mercenary unit, the Screaming Eagles, had deployed three battalions' worth of BattleMechs to attack the planet. The Borderers defended, along with a Clan Snow Raven Trinary from the 6th Battle Cluster. The Borderers were destroyed along with their Clan allies in the course of battle.[2]
