==History==
A news feed stated that the Dread Legion was not being paid fully for their work in the Draconis Combine. Their contract arbitration went sour when [[ComStar]] sided with the Combine. This would lead to the two parties falling out due to payment issues and as a result, the Legion took the planet [[Gravenhage]] as compensation.

In 3048, the Dread Legion was holding the town of Drevenshire as hostage by taking their water supplies. It took the arrival of other mercenary forces to take control of the situation. The Legion tried to escape from the planet with their opposition being the mercenaries and a traitorous [[MechWarrior (pilot)|Mechwarrior]] placed inside of a Dread Legion Mech. They were foiled once again as they decided to hide in an abandoned Star League Cache. It would only be a matter of time until both the DCMS and Mercenary mechs would discover them.

====Taking the Bribe====
If the Mercenary Commander takes the Dread Legion's offer, the mercenary's unit will attack the DCMS mechs. In turn, the Kuritan Mechs will retaliate against the mercenary for their betrayal, ending in their defeat. After the job is done, the Dread Legion keeps their word and pay the mercenaries 4 million C-bills for their cooperation. As a result of this betrayal, the Draconis Combine will blacklist the traitorous group from any future contracts, until the [[Battle of Wolcott]].
