Unit Description
The Alliance Grenadiers was formed during the Reunification War, is the sister regiment of the Alliance Borderers and was one of the first 5 BattleMech regiments to exist within the military command of the Outworlds Alliance.[1] The unit logo is described as two grenades on a white field edged with gold.[2]
History
Formation
The Alliance Grenadiers and their sister regiment, the Alliance Borderers, were formed during the Reunification War, primarily from salvage obtained from Star League forces or equipment purchased covertly from Federated Suns sources. The Grenadiers formed in late 2582 on Alpheratz and first saw combat during the battles for Cerberus, where two battalions of the Grenadiers fought alongside the Cerberus Militia against the the 4th Division and 5th Division of II Corps. Despite the rapid destruction of much of the planetary militia, the Grenadiers fought a guerilla war that lasted well over a year against the SLDF forces, preventing them from capturing Cerberus.[3][1][4]
The Grenadiers remained on Cerberus until the end of the war in 2585; by the end of the war, the Grenadiers had fought alongside the Santiago Carabiniers, Pitcairn Legion and elements of the 2nd Armored Division against the equivalent of three SLDF divisions.[3]
As a part of the restrictions associated with the status of the Alliance after the declaration of peace in 2585 the Grenadiers were disbanded, but were then reformed later during the Periphery uprising in the 28th century and equipped with 'Mechs seized from SLDF stores within the Alliance. The Grenadiers saw extensive service against pirates among the outer planets of the Outworlds Alliance during the 30th century, although the Grenadiers' two battalions were based on Cerberus and Sevon.[2]
Officers
In 3025 the commanding officer is Chairman Gabriel Arenthir.[5]
In 3050 the commanding officer is Chairman Enrique Abenze.[6]
In 3067 Chairman Janet Rice is the commanding officer of the unit.[7]

Notes
Historical: Reunification War indicates on page 42 that the Alliance Borderers received their baptism of fire on Cerberus, against the Star League 4th Division and 5th Division. However, this is contradicted by other entries within the same book for the battles on Cerberus and the unit deployment tables, which indicate that the Borderers fought on Lushann, and that the Alliance Grenadiers fought on Cerberus. This has been raised as errata on the official Catalyst Game Labs forum.[1][4][3]
Rules
Reunification War
- When randomly generating forces each Alliance Grenadier lance or platoon may roll for equipment twice on the SLDF table and once on the Federated Suns table.[8]
