History[edit]
The Dark Age[edit]
Cunningham's Cutthroats was a small mercenary unit.
Lyons hired the unit, along Zelandia Unbound to augment its defenses in August 3136 against an anticipated Clan Jade Falcon attack.
Both units were preparing defenses near the Fedkirk Badlands when everything went sideways. Reports are contradictory regarding whether Cunningham or Samir of the Zelandia fired first, but within five minutes, Samir's 'Mech was a smoking ruin and Cunningham's entire command lance had gone weapons free.
The rest of Zelandia Unbound pursued the rest of Cunningham's Cutthroats until they cornered and made Cunningham surrender.
Cunningham was convicted by a kangaroo court and left to rot in prison until the Jade Falcons conquered the world almost a decade later.
Many have speculated about the Lyons Incident, but only three command lance members (two from Zelandia and one from the Cutthroats) survived, and none have volunteered any useful explanations.[1]
