History

Nothing is known about the Butler's Brigands prior to their contract with the Word of Blake during the Jihad. In 3069, they were serving as one of several mercenary occupation forces on the continent of Romulus on Outreach.

In December of 3069, the Brigands were finally able to engage some the Wolf's Dragoons resistance fighters based near the remains of Am Numsan. That battle was a disaster for the Brigands. They were able to down one of the five enemy 'Mechs for the cost of two of their 'Mechs and a half-dozen of their tanks, and they were lucky to escape with their lives.

For the remainder of their contract the Brigands did not venture outside Am Numsan. In early 3070, the unit was annihilated alongside two other small commands by the Wolf's Dragoons guerrilla fighters known as Tara Lucas' Ghosts.[1]
