The Band of Five were a battalion-sized force operating as part of Bannson's Raiders during the early to mid-3130s.

History

A collection of thugs and scumbags employed by Jacob Bannson, the Band of Five contained some of the Republic of the Sphere's most morally depraved individuals.[1]

The Band of Five's ultimate fate is unknown, but by 3145 it was no longer listed on any military's unit rosters.[2]

Tactics

With little formal training the Band of Five's members instead fought like street thugs, utilizing any tactic, no matter how dishonorable, if it aided their mission. Their name, in fact, derived from their use of five-member units in order to gain an advantage over opponents organized along the near-universal four-unit structure.[1]
