==Unit Description==
The Lamenkov's Liability was a small [[Republic of the Sphere]] 'Mech force that was part of [[General]] [[Belle Lee|Belle Lee's ]] [[Errant Force]].<ref>''BattleTech Dossiers: Lamenkov's Liability'', p. 1</ref>

==Unit History==
===Formation and Early Years===
In the years after the [[Jihad]], the Republic of the Sphere suffered from various insurgencies and pirate raids too large to warrant an entire military regiment to tackle. The RAF High Command decided to assemble a number of [[Lance|lance]]-sized units to act as troubleshooters in these hot spots within the newly formed Republic. The Lamenkov's Liability was formed under the command of Lt. Ilyena Lamenkov after losing her lance leader in the Battle of Sydney in [[3078]]<ref>''Jihad Hot Spots: Terra'', p. 104-105, 107 - Sydney battle noted and when the Battle occurred in the articles Calamity of Sydney, Pushing through Burrangorang and Bloody Sunday.</ref> during the Liberation of Terra. Lt. Lamenkov would take command of the newly formed Lance as part of [[Stone's Lament]]. The Lance would take part in the campaign to liberate the remaining [[Word of Blake Protectorate]] worlds and was involved in several skirmishes with [[House Liao]] forces. The unit's self-sufficient actions led them to be reassigned to General Belle Lee's Errant Force.<ref>''BattleTech Dossiers: Lamenkov's Liability'', p. 3 Ilyena Lamenkov profile - Liability's history leading to the events of the scenario.</ref>

===Schedar===
In June of [[3085]], the Liability would be dispatched to the world of [[Schedar]], where it was ordered to put down a well-armed but minor insurgency. The Lance operated out of the Rander Communications Equipment facility, which would serve as their base of operations. On the second day of their mission, the Liability engaged a ''[[Trebuchet]]'' attacking a mining complex in the Luyten's Pan area. However, the situation turn out that insurgent group, the [[Schedar Enlightenment and Liberation Force]] (SELF), had prepared an ambush. SELF's force consisting of several 'Mechs and a mix of combat vehicles attacked the unsuspecting Republican lance. Lt. Lamenkov would order her force in fighting withdrawal but not before receiving considerable damage while they were trying to elude their pursuers. Once they had returned to base, they soon learned that SELF had Schedar's [[HPG]] compound blockaded.<ref>''BattleTech Dossiers: Lamenkov's Liability'', pp. 2, 7 - Introspective Enemy & Warm Welcome - short story and initial scenario tells opening actions and story of the Liability's first actions in the conflict against SELF.</ref>

Planetary Governor [[Hamilton Rander]] provided little support during the crisis, as the planetary economy would become erratic from the interdiction of its HPG complex. Rander would offer little aid, including resources from Schedar's weakened Militia.<ref>''BattleTech Dossiers: Lamenkov's Liability'', pp. 8-9 That Could Gone Better & GM Only Section - Effects of aftermath of the planet, governor's full name mentioned.</ref>

After a month of fighting, Lamenkov's Liability would conduct series of skirmishes to attempt to weaken SELF' assets and try to find its base of operation. Despite being cut off from the HPG and potential reinforcements from the Republic the Liability used innovation to get by. The unit received little help from Governor Rander, who had been exploiting the situation for political gain. The Liability would finally spot the insurgency's base in a cave system outside of the Sino Forest. SELF's surviving engages the Liability in the heavily wooded area. The Liability's skills prevailed and decimated SELF's military assets to the point that the organization had to cease their insurgency on Schedar.<ref>''BattleTech Dossiers: Lamenkov's Liability'', p. 10 - Nowhere to Run - Final scenario of the battle, history and aftermath mentioned.</ref>
