Rampart Company was a flexible special operations team that reports directly to High Lady Kamea Arano.[2]
History
On 18 July 3026 Kamea Arano summoned former House Decimis MechWarrior Karen “Sunbird” Andris to Coromodir to offer her command of a special forces unit that would offer the Aurigan Coalition some deniability. The political situation was also fluid enough that Arano did not wish to continue relying on Darius Oliveira's mercenary company, the unit formerly known as Markham's Marauders. Andris accepted, receiving a promotion to Captain alongside her new orders: find and return the BattleMechs of the former Aurigan Directorate. Arano’s estimates were that around 13% of Directorate Mechs either fled the frontier, turned mercenary, or sought to carve their own fiefdoms out of the Periphery expanse.[3]
A little more than a month later Rampart Company’s first mission was responding to reports of unidentified Mechs on Smithon. On 22 August the unidentified Mechs, a medium battle lance from the Lyran Commonwealth that was investigating the remains of a Star League garrison. When SIGINT revealed the Lyrans had found what they were looking for, Rampart had no choice but to attack; allowing their departure would make Smithon a target for innumerable objective raids.[4]
In September Rampart was sent to investigate rumors of pirate activity on Weldry. The pirate lance was located on 19 September and dispatched, but not before a Capellan Confederation lance of Kamakura’s Hussars - sent on a pirate suppression mission after the same pirate lance – stumbled upon them. Unable to allow the Capellan Mechs to bring word of Assault Mechs operating so close to their space, the Hussars were all killed.[5]
On 8 October Rampart Company attacked Federated Suns forces that were covertly supplying insurgents on the Capellan world of Hurik. Not all of that material was being directed at the Capellans, many were making their way to remnants of the Directorate loyalist terrorist group Ibex Rampant. Posing as "The Wolves of Joppa" Rampant Company launched Operation WOLFHOUND. Two lances engaged the Suns forces, drawing out their forces until the "Wolves'" situational ally McCarron's Armored Cavalry was able to encirlce and destroy them[6]
Rampart Company returned to in their primary mission of gathering the Directorate Mech diaspora on 21 October when they assault the Rimward Veterans Militia position on Highwater. This action returned a Commando, Griffin, and Wolverine to the Aurigan Coalition Military’s roster.[7]
Shortly after Rampart struck out at a pirate community comprised of the remains of Grim Sybil’s gang on Bellerophon whom had been raiding the Canopian-Aurigan Trade Route. Despite being off planet at during the initial assault, the pirate’s leader Captain Silas “Hookworm” Black deployed the remainder of his military forces against the Rampart Company.[8]
Numerous raids on settlements and villages on the Aurigan border world of Fjaldr sent Rampart Company to investigate. Unknown to Andris she walked into a trap set for her by House Espinosa holdouts using that House’s motto, “Forever Vigilant” as their name. Included in this group was a survivor of the October action against the Rimward Veterans Militia, Anasuya “Plover” Kinsley[9]
On 21 February 3027 Operation UNDERBELLY saw Rampart Company forming a strike force with other mercenary commands to defeat a Capellan backed military junta on Sacromonte. Armed with Capellan weapons and vehicles the junta was also supported by two mercenary units, the Fire Lizards and Ozawa Informals. Under the combined weight of the strike force the junta's mercenaries were driven from the world and the junta quickly collapsed.[10]
