History

Star League

The unit served Stefan Amaris in his failed bid for supremacy, and survived the Hegemony Campaign.

First Succession War

By 2784 they were in possession of the equipment to form a mercenary command, the Black Sharks, thanks to the power vacuum left after Aleksandr Kerensky's Exodus. They were initially hired by the Draconis Combine.[2]

A notable appearance places them on Tyrfing during the five-way fighting there in 2788, for the Combine on alongside the 8th Sword of Light.

They were listed as destroyed by 2821.
