History[edit]

Lola's Lights were a mercenary unit of unspecified size and composition fighting on Terra for Stone's Coalition. The unit was under House Marik contract. The unit had come to Terra during the initial landings of 3078. Several TerraSec fighters hit their DropShip, and it went down. In the press of the campaign, the Lights were written off as lost.

Having lost their long-range communications, they assumed to be in Blakist-controlled territory and planned accordingly, moving toward the coast and raiding TerraSec along their path trying to tie down as much local defenders as possible.

The coalition thought they were a Word of Blake unit and assigned Gannon's Cannons to stop them. They were caught raiding a regional supply depot and after their leader fell started to surrender. At that time, they were brought back into the fold by Coalition forces at the end of January 3079.[1][2]
