'''Tyrell's Terrors''' where an independent [[BattleMech]] Company.
  
 
==History==
 
==History==
[[Salvadore Tyrell]] was the only survivor of a ploy by ''[[Sho-sa]]'' [[Victor Garreth]] that destroyed [[Tyrell's Raiders]], a small [[mercenary unit]], around [[3024]]. Almost a year later he came to the attention of Duke Hassid Ricol. During a short interview the Duke determined that, although [[dispossessed]], Tyrell was a resourceful [[MechWarrior (pilot)|MechWarrior]] who had been wronged by Lord Garreth, whom Ricol regarded as a liability to his nation.
+
Starting life as a militia unit on [[Kajikazawa]] and eventually evolving into an independent [[BattleMech]] command under the name '''Tyrell's Raiders'''. They were attached to the [[2nd Benjamin Regulars|Second Benjamin Regulars]] as auxiliary reserve troops on the planet of [[New Wessex]]. The battalion commander, [[Sho-sa]] [[Victor Garreth]], ordered the company to guard an important river crossing against a [[House Steiner|Steiner]] force of ostensibly equal strength. However, the attacking force turned out to be not a company, but a heavy regiment, and crushed the defenders in short order.
  
Having lost several 'Mechs in his private service during a venture in the [[Lyran Commonwealth]] a few years before (implied to be the events narrated in ''[[Mercenary's Star (novel)]]''), Ricol recruited him to create and train a private [[BattleMech]] company for the Red Duke.
+
The survivors of the unit where hanged for cowardice in the face of the enemy because they allegedly retreated from a fight with roughly equal numbers against explicit orders after having suffered only light damage. Their remaining BattleMechs had been confiscated by the ''Second Benjamin Regulars''
  
Salvadore Tyrell did just that, and named the unit "Tyrell's Terrors" in memory of the ''[[Dragon]]'' his late father had piloted.
+
[[Dispossessed]] and with no options, [[Salvadore Tyrell]] the only survivor, returned home to plot his revenge against the treacherous commander. Almost a year later he was contacted by Duke [[Hassid Ricol]] and hired to create the Red Duke's personal 'Mech company. Salvadore names the unit "Tyrell's Terrors" after his father's ''[[Dragon]]''.
 
 
Tyrell's Terrors were subsequently deployed on several worlds to pursue the Duke's interests, including Rodigo and [[Verthandi]]. Following Duke Ricol's return from a venture in the [[Free Worlds League]] (implied to be the recovery of the [[Helm Memory Core]] as narrated in the novel ''[[The Price of Glory]]''), the unit was ordered to meet Duke Ricol at the [[Kajikazawa]] starport to escort him to [[Luthien]]. On the sidelines, Salvadore Tyrell was given a chance to meet Victor Garreth at a reception on Kajikazawa. He jumped at the chance to exact vengeance for his father, and challenged Lord Garreth to a duel to the death in which he killed Garreth, with Ricol's consent.<ref name=DoV>''Shrapnel'' (''Dance of Vengeance'' short story)</ref>
