The mercenary unit Vanguard Legion was among the defenders of New Syrtis in the FedCom Civil War.
Unit Profile
In 3065, the unit consisted of 2 Mech-Battalions (medium to assault). Note: This is just a conclusion from the novel.
Unit History
The Vanguard Legion worked for the Draconis Combine and ComStar in their mission to find the way to the Clan homeworlds. They were unsuccessful, but the Vanguard Legion recieved a whole Mech-Lance as reward for their service.
Later, they worked for the Lyran Commonwealth/Alliance, where they encountered difficulties. Details are unknown, but since then the Vanguard Legion has a deep indiscriminatory hatred for all Lyrans.
In 3062, they made a 3-year-contract with the Federated Commonwealth (which by then was reduced to the Federated Suns-half). At the outbreak of the FedCom Civil War, they were deployed to New Syrtis.
In 3065 they made a new contract with Duke George Hasek. They were among the defenders of New Syrtis against pro-Katherine-forces. Their excellence and hatred allowed them to hold out, although they were often outnumbered. During the final battle, they virtually freaked out and began executing Lyran prisoners of war. They only stopped, when Lieutenant-Colonel Grayson Addison (in a Templar) from the 8th Syrtis Fusiliers defeated Colonel Chad Dean (in a Hatamoto-Chi).
After the invaders had been repelled, the unit resorted to a maneuver-area, with the 8th Syrtis Fusiliers preventing all contact to the public. The exact relationship to George Hasek and his units, are unknown.
