The history of the Dread Legion has never been an openly discussed story, and only with great reluctance did I pry the story from Colonel Abaddon. It all began with the invasion force we would soon learn were Kerensky’s own……..
The 4th Drakons mech regiment and the 83rd Rasalhague Reavers battlemech regiment were both stationed on the periphery of the Free Rasalhague Republic. These unit, the elite of the FRR. Were dedicated to wiping out the pirates, and the “Ronin” (renegades of the Draconis Combine that seeked to destroy the FRR) that plagued the FRR with minor assaults and raids, but had lately become more aggressive, and the “pirates” were wiping out FRR regiments like shooting fish in a barrel. The 4th, and 83rd were moved up to the front lines immediately.
Unknowingly, the FRR had sent its best to fight the greatest threat to the Inner Sphere since Stefan Amaris; the Clans. The 4th, 83rd, and the 153rd Elite Angel Aerotech regiments combined to combat the descendants of Kerensky; Clan Wolf. The 153rd Angels were utterly wiped out by the Wolve’s Omnifighters. And the two mech regiments sustained heavy losses.
The shattered mech regiments returned to Rasalhague only to find it had also fallen to the might of Clan Wolf. The Drakons and Reavers decided without a doubt that they should go back, jump in through pirate points, drop to the planets in the FRR, and secretly evacuate all FRR MWs and support personnel. By the time they returned to Outreach, they had collected just over a regiment of FRR MWs.
On Outreach, they assumed the name Dread Legion, since then, they have had a vengeance for the clans. During all this, they had been led by General Jeremiah Rose. He was killed by a Clan Wolf Galaxy Commander. Colonel Abaddon was left in charge. Though wanting revenge on the clans, Colonel Abaddon knows that the Dread Legion is under the command of the almighty C-Bill…..
