==History==
The '''Regal Death''' was a [[mercenary]] [[BattleMech]] [[company]] with support from two [[battalion]]s of [[Combat vehicle|heavy armor]] of unknown origins assigned to the defense of the [[Free Rasalhague Republic]] planet [[Susquehanna]]. They were there during the [[Clan Invasion]] and faced the Ninety-sixth Battle [[Trinary]] of [[Clan Ghost Bear]]'s [[14th Battle (Rasalhague Dominion)|Fourteenth Battle]] [[Cluster]] on May [[3050]]. Not used to [[Clan]] tactics, the Regal Death lied as they would have done with a pirate band or another [[Inner Sphere]] unit and paid for it.<ref name=InvadingClans>''Invading Clans'', p. 31: Susquehanna</ref>

When the Ninety-sixth arrived at the location agreed to in the ''[[batchall]]'' to find no sign of their opponents but remembering the conduct of a mercenary unit named the [[Black Omen]] during the first wave of the invasion, the Ninety-Sixth suspected they had fled but nevertheless began hunting them as a precaution. Unfortunately the Trinary's Bravo Battle [[Star]] walked into an ambush in the Vernaw Woods: three of their number were destroyed by booby traps, while the mercenaries from their prepared fighting positions destroyed and seriously damaged the other two. The other two Stars arrived in time to save the last survivor of Bravo Star, attacking the mercenaries with such ferocity at Vernaw Woods and again at Silver Lake that every member of the Regal Death was killed.<ref name=InvadingClans/>

The behavior of units like the Regal Death and Black Omen would cement the Ghost Bear's hatred of mercenaries, with many declaring all mercenaries ''[[dezgra]]'' refusing them honorable treatment and rarely claiming them as [[bondsmen]].<ref name=InvadingClans/>
