The '''Halsten’s Brigade''' was a mercenary [[Combat Vehicle|Heavy Armor]] unit. They had a good reputation in the Lyran Commonwealth as a tough nut to crack. The Brigade has been called on numerous times to provide defensive firepower against  overwhelming BattleMech forces.

In battle with [[Free Worlds League]] forces on [[Poulsbo]] in January [[3026]], a platoon from Headhunter Company  discovered an enemy ''[[Union]]'' [[DropShip]] forming a strongpoint. In the morning, both Hammer and Striker Battalions were sent out to destroy it. The battle against the defending BattleMechs was fierce, but the tanks narrowly succeeded thanks in no small part to Private “Sniper” Jones' shooting.<ref>''Sniper (short story)''</ref>

The Cavalry Battalion was usually kept back for special missions, as the Colonel wasn’t a fan of them, even calling them ''scooters''. Richard Goodman’s [[Savannah Master]]s though are often found leading Halsten’s flanks.<ref>''Technical Readout 3039'' - Savannah Master</ref> The Colonel had even been known to use heavy armor in a reconnaissance role.

The unit survived the [[Jihad]], and at mid-[[3142]] was under contract to the planetary government of [[Venaria]]. An small, unknown force of unmarked [['Mech]]s and [[battle armor]] attacked a militia outpost in the Candrell badlands. The militia was destroyed and the outpost razed, but a lance from the '''Halsten's Brigade''' intercepted and destroyed them afterwards.<ref name=TRO3145p104-105>''Technical Readout: 3150'' , p. 104-105 "KELSWA ASSAULT TANK"</ref>
