In late [[3059]], the planet [[Alexandria (LC)|Alexandria]] suffered what was later known as the '''Briggs Armored Car robbery'''. A gang of criminals stole a shipment of gems even though the [[Knox Armored Car]] had been provided with an escort of a pair of ''[[Commando]]'' [[BattleMechs]] by the Alexandria Freedom Theater Militia. The criminals (rumored to have strong ties with the [[Mafia]]) possessed several suits of [[Gray Death Standard|Gray Death Legion Battle Armor]].<ref name=TROVAp16>''Technical Readout Vehicle Annex'', p. 16 "KNOX / BAILEY ARMORED CARS"</ref>
