Derek's Devils was formed by an splinter group of the Red Devils.[1]

History

Disenchanted and alienated by the behavior of Red Devils' ranking officer, Captain Derek Hudsenn (son of the original Red Devils' founder) and his company eventually split from the Red Devils in 3045 and formed Derek's Devils.

The Devils were immediately hired by the Magistracy of Canopus because of the recognition of his father's long and honorable service. The Devils endeared themselves to the people of Dunianshire after catching raiders before they could escape with captives they intended to sell into slavery. Hudsenn himself killed the pirate leader and weathered tremendous incoming fire from the pirate DropShip to disable it on the ground as its engines lit up. The Devils handle threats from Luxen to Dainmar Majoris from their Dunianshire base. Their infantry is well-known for kneecapping and capturing ’Mechs, a practice that has added a second company to the Devils and allowed Hudsenn to assume the rank of major.[1]

Officers

The Glory Warriors are commanded by Major Derek Hudsenn.[1]

Tactics

With no combat unit heavier than 60 tons, the Glory Warriors were a highly mobile force that specialized in disengaging from numerically superior opponents to fight again later. Thanks to the efforts of their CO, the Warriors' had an ability to "hide in plain sight" that rivaled even that of the infamous Killer Bees, utilizing terrain rather than the camouflage the Bees rely upon.
