Succession Wars

The first assignment for the 7th Crucis Lancers and McKinnon's Company was the defense of Kentares IV against the DCMS at the beginning of the First Succession War where they fought a guerrilla war until rescued by a Davion taskforce. Before their retraction an infantryman attached to McKinnon's Company shot Coordinator Minoru Kurita leading to the infamous Kentares Massacre. After the years at the Combine front the company served as an independent command at the Periphery and Capellan boarders, participated in raids on Sian and St. Ives and earned themselves the name McKinnon's Raiders. In 3013, while the company was rebuilding at New Avalon, Ross McKinnon foiled a plot to assassinate Hanse Davion. As reward for their loyality the Raiders earned themselves the nickname "The Fox Teeth".

In 3069, the Fox's Teeth under Captain Ross McKinnon field tested the Hauberk battle armor on Demeter against Word of Blake troops. They lured Call to the Faithful III-delta into an ambush and mauled the level three.[1]
