History
Russell Bronson had succeeded his father as commanding officer after his death in an unknown date. In 2946, Commander Russel Bronson learned that the Eridani Light Horse had formed a base of operations on New Karlsruh and were currently rebuilding after taken losses from an extended campaign. Thinking to teach what he considered "deserters" a lesson, Bronson canceled his Horde's contract with the Federated Suns and traveled to the Light Horse homeworld to launch an immediate assault. While the surprise attack initially caught the Light Horse off guard, they were quickly able to respond to and contain the situation. As Bronson pressed towards the Light Horse command center, he neglected his flanks and was quickly cut off and outmaneuvered by the better trained Light Horse troops. The fight was brutal and cost the Horde over a regiment's worth of equipment, including Bronson's personal Cyclops 'Mech and all of their space assets. Their abandonment of contract and subsequent defeat greatly diminished their reputation as a mercenary force, and around another regiment's worth of MechWarriors left the unit for greener pastures.[2][3][4]

Russell was a notable Cyclops pilot, at least until New Karlsruh's debacle.[5]
