The '''Gotterdammerung Society''' [''sic''] were a [[mercenary unit]] described as a small tank unit. Rated as 'veteran' mercenaries of questionable loyalty and with a poor equipment rating of "D",<ref name=BW121>''Brush Wars'', p. 121</ref> they nevertheless brought considerable artillery assets to the field as of [[3034]]<ref>''Brush Wars'', p. 142</ref> in the form of [[Thumper Artillery Piece|Thumper]], [[Sniper Artillery Piece|Sniper]], and/or [[Long Tom Artillery Piece|Long Tom]] artillery pieces.

==History==
Hired by "angry politicos" from the [[Lyran Commonwealth]],<ref name=BW96>''Brush Wars'', p. 96</ref> the Gotterdammerung Society took part in the [[Ronin War]] of [[3034]]. They were deployed to [[Gunzburg]] from August 3034, where they took moderate losses of up to twenty-five percent, through September 3034, where they ceased to function as a fighting force and surrendered to their opponents.<ref name=BW121/>

Over the course of the fighting, they reportedly swarmed famous [[Free Rasalhague Republic]] officer [[Tor Miraborg]]'s ''[[Grasshopper]]'' during an ambush by the [[Draconis Combine]]'s [[Ronin (faction)|ronin]] [[211th Mechanized Assault Command]]. Miraborg ejected when his 'Mech was downed, and was scarred.<ref name=BW96/><br />However, given that the Gotterdammerung Society was sponsored by the Lyran Commonwealth it seems unlikely that they would have sided with the ronin to fight against Miraborg's Rasalhague force; this incident may be a misreporting instead, mixing the event up with the later battle in 3036. In that year, the Gotterdammerung Society's remnant, still fighting on Gunzburg as a guerrilla force, confronted Tor Miraborg in battle and he was again wounded, in this case suffering a crippling injury to his spine that would famously confine him to a wheelchair forthwith.<ref>''Brush Wars'', p. 97</ref>
