It didn't take long for the unit to realize they had been conned - the increase in pay didn't cover the cost of the overpriced supplies, forcing the mercenaries to take on more missions which in turn increased their demands for the overpriced supplies, creating a vicious circle known as the "Company Store". In June [[2825]], while stationed on [[Zlatous]], the Paul Bunyan Regiment was no longer even being paid by the Office of [[Professional Soldiery Liaison]] and eventually in desperation seized warehouses on Zlatous for food and supplies. While the [[Internal Security Force]] were aware of the unit's discontent, their violent response was unexpected with [[Coordinator]] [[Jinjiro Kurita]] ordered their [[DropShip]]s destroyed and their [[JumpShip]]s seized; he also sent the [[5th Galedon Regulars|5th]] and [[9th Galedon Regulars]] to destroy the rebellious mercenaries who had dug in after losing their DropShips. Over the course of two months of vicious fighting that laid waste to much of the planet, the regiment was destroyed save for some mercenaries who seized a Kurita DropShip and escaped into the Periphery.<ref name=HKTDC-62/> − − ==Officers== − {| class="wikitable" − |- − ! scope="col" width="220" style="background: #dedede;" | Rank − ! scope="col" width="220" style="background: #dedede;" | Name − ! scope="col" width="220" style="background: #dedede;" | Command − |- − | colspan="4" style="background: #efefef;" | '''Commanding Officers of the Paul Bunyan Regiment''' − |- − |} − − ==Tactics== − Unknown. − − ==Composition History== − === 2821=== − '''Paul Bunyon Regiment''' (Regiment/Regular/Reliable)<ref name=FSW-137/> − : Note: In 2821 the heavy-weight command was reduced to 96 percent of its strength and was deployed on Lone Star.<ref name=FSW-137/> − − ==Notes== − Some sources alternately spell its name as the '''Paul Bunyon Regiment'''.<ref name=FSW-137/> − − ==References== − <references /> − − ==Bibliography== − * ''[[First Succession War (sourcebook)]]'' − * ''[[House Kurita (The Draconis Combine)]]'' − − [[Category:Mercenary Commands]]
