The Dread Legion was a mercenary unit in 3048. They were known for betraying their employers, the Draconis Combine.

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 have the two parties had a falling out due to payment issues and as a result, the Legion took the planet Gravenhage as compensation.
Gravenhage
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 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.
Fate
| “ | Attention Mercenary, this is the Dread Legion. Whatever the Draconis Combine are paying you, we'll double it. If you just turn around and head back to your dropship, we'll handle the rest. | ” |
--The Dread Legion Commander attempting to bribe the Mercenary Commander.
As the noose around the Dread Legion was tightening around their necks, their commander offer the opposing mercenaries a bribe.
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 pays the mercenaries 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 Luthien.
Refusing the Bribe
First Mission Failure
Should the player fail the first mission, they will be taken to an alternate mission where the situation is in reverse. The Mercenary forces are now trying to escape off Gravenhage, while being tailed by the Dread Legion.
