Narhal's Raiders

Template:InfoBoxMercUnit Narhal's Raiders are a medium-sized mercenary unit in the Inner Sphere. In the Third and Fourth Succession Wars the unit was employed by the Lyran Commonwealth.

History

During the First Succession War, a Marik regiment fled from the house and into the periphery. Teaming up with the remnants of BattleMech regiment in the Rim Worlds Republic, the two formed Narhal's Raiders. The unit was named after both the commanding officer, Tyilik Narhal, and the Narhal Rover, a predator from Tyilik's homeworld. For nearly a decade, the unit plundered Free Worlds League and Capellan Confederation worlds to sustain itself.

In 2799 , the descendant of Tyilik Narhal was ousted as commander of the unit by Ustinov Matthews. Matthews had soured of raiding and sought official contracts with the Capellan Confederation and the Federated Suns. Shortly before the Second Succession War, the unit signed a contract with the Lyran Commonwealth where they remained through the Fourth Succession War, except for a brief and disastrous contract with the Capellan Confederation from 2849 to 2859.

By 2866, the unit's finances were in shambles. In that same year, however, the unit's finances began to improve, primarily due to the intervention of Archon Elizabeth Steiner who wished to improve the unit's equipment and morale. By the beginning of the Fourth Succession War, however, the unit was still in a poor financial situation due to the previous manipulations by the Commonwealth and others to keep the unit in debt.
