The '''Twenty-third Heavy Assault Regiment''' was a part of the [[Star League Defense Force]] Regular Army. Rather than accompany [[Aleksandr Kerensky]] on [[Operation Exodus|his Exodus]] in [[2784]], the Twenty-Third remained behind in the [[Inner Sphere]] to work as [[mercenaries]], adopting the name of '''Tyson's Troublemakers''', before ultimately being destroyed during the [[First Succession War]].<ref name=FSW-35/> <ref name=FSW-135>''First Succession War'', p. 135 "First Succession War Deployment Table- Armed Forces of the Federated suns (AFFS) - Mercenary Combat Commands (AFFS)"</ref>

==History==
===The Star League - Twenty-third Heavy Assault Regiment===
Assigned to the [[Lyran Commonwealth]]-based [[11th Army (Star League)|11th Army]]'s [[XXVII Corps (Star League)|XXVII Corps]], the Twenty-Third Heavy Assault Regiment was a part of the [[Star League Defense Force]] Regular Army. As of [[2764]] Twenty-Third was posted within District 1 of the SLDF's [[Lyran Commonwealth Military Region]], before transferring to District 2 in [[2765]] in the wake of the [[New Vandenberg Uprising]]. Surviving the Periphery Uprising and [[Operation CHIEFTAIN|Operations CHIEFTAIN]] and [[Operation LIBERATION|LIBERATION]], the Twenty-Third Heavy Assault Regiment chose to remain in the Inner Sphere, joining the [[Federated Suns]] as mercenaries, adopting the new name of Tyson's Troublemakers. <ref name=SL-144>''The Star League'', p. 144,"Eleventh Army"</ref><ref name=FSW-35/>

===Mercenary Career - Tyson's Troublemakers===
Immediately prior to the opening shots of the First Succession War, the full-strength Tyson's Troublemakers were stationed on Federated Suns/[[Capellan Confederation]] border-world [[Goshen]].<ref name=FSW-135/> By early [[2787]] the Troublemakers had been shifted to the defense of [[Marduk]] near along the Federated Suns/[[Draconis Combine]] border, the [[Armed Forces of the Federated Suns]] unaware the Draconis Combine was preparing to launch a mass invasion of the Federated Suns in May of that year. As [[Draconis Combine Mustered Soldiery]] troops landed on Marduk, the border-wide blitzkrieg caused utter confusion within the AFFS High Command, with inconsistent orders being issued throughout the chain of command for units to stay or withdraw, with Tyson's Troublemakers ordered to retreat off-world in an orderly fashion, allowing the Combine to capture the [[BattleMech]] manufacturing world virtually without a fight. <ref name=HK1>''House Kurita'', p. 54 "History - The First Succession War - The Dragon Strikes"</ref> <ref name=FSWp38A>''First Succession War'', p. 38, "The Dragon's Reckoning: The Combine-Suns Front - Barlow's Folly"</ref>

While the full details of their fate are unknown, Tyson's Troublemakers were among the many units destroyed during the First Succession War. <ref name=FSW-135/>
