==History==
{{Expand section}}
While in [[Free Worlds League]] employ the unit could replace its losses with ease, because of the constant addition of new personnel. The fast-moving 'Mechs pinned down a much larger [[House Kurita|Kuritan]] force on [[Dromini IV]]. Then the 2nd regiment came in for the final assault. Only the breakdown of the Steiner defense saved the remaining [[DCMS]] forces.{{cn}}

At some point before [[3029]] there was such an influx of light, fast 'Mechs, particularly ''[[Locust|Locusts]]'', that the unit was nicknamed O'Hare's Plague of Locusts.<ref>''Recognition Guide: ilClan, vol. 16'', p. 6</ref><ref name=4thSWMAV1p12/>

The Dismal Disinherited joined the [[Allied Mercenary Command]] in [[3067]].<ref>''Field Manual: Updates'', p. 182</ref><ref>''Dawn of the Jihad'', p. 38</ref><ref>''Blake Ascending'', p. 38</ref> The First was stationed on [[New Canton]] in 3067.<ref name=fmu184>''Field Manual: Updates'', p. 184</ref>

The First Dismal Disinherited was on [[Outreach]] when the [[Word of Blake]] destroyed the world in their second assault. The First was destroyed along with the other defenders.<ref>''Mercenaries Supplemental Update'', p. 12</ref>
