The '''Idle Hands''' were a [[mercenary]] [['Mech]] [[lance]] formed and led by [[Sigland Idleson]] at some point in the 3040s, after the [[Cash & Combat]] mercenary unit Idleson was previously serving with in a command position had fallen on hard times and was tethering on the brink of piracy.
  
By [[3049]], the Idle Hands were a small, agile, but also desperate unit. Hired by [[Kelly Hunt]] to retrieve a data core from a [[Shatterdog Shipping]] corporation facility on [[Black Earth]], the unit succeeded in securing the core but was subsequently nearly wiped out by enemy reinforcements on 8 July [[3049]]. Lieutenant Idleson, piloting the [[Legacy Grasshopper|Legacy ''Grasshopper'']], was the only one to make it back to the DropShip; according to her own admission, she panicked and fled, leaving her lancemates to die. Instead of re-forming the mercenary unit, she decided to settle down and had Hunt move her to [[Erewhon]].<ref>''Choices and Chances''</ref>
