Bannson's Raiders were one of the microfactions that developed in the Republic of the Sphere. They were used by their founder after the Blackout to grab all the resources they could.[1]

History

Bannson's Raiders were the military arm of Bannson Universal Unlimited. Mostly composed of mercenaries hired by Jacob Bannson prior to the Black Out of 3132. They were known to operate with combined-arms forces including BattleMechs, vehicles and infantry.

The Raiders were led by the mercenary One-Eyed Jack Farrell.

He and the Raiders appeared on Northwind in December of 3133.[2] hired by Paladin Ezekiel Crow to supplement the Northwind Highlanders during the invasion of the Steel Wolves. However, Bannson, through Farrell, blackmails the Paladin and has the Raiders keep the Northwind Highlanders from entering the city of Tara. Countess Tara Campbell and her troops fight the raiders to enter the city, which Farrell "loses" for Tara Bishop.

Bannson Raiders landed on Terra and helped successfully fight off the Steel Wolves in April 3134.[3]

In Feburary, 3135 Farrell, independently working, met with Erik Sandoval-Groell on Woodstock.[4]
