This Mercenary unit has accepted a long duration security contract on Jubb/Loran (Halcyon 1812) B575754-8. They function as Condotterie with corporate backing and underwriting for their Repatriation Bonds. They are a reinforced artillery battalion. They were hired to complement Jeff's Anti-Lebensgeschwader company. In practice the two units don't really get along. The majority of the unit are loaders. They are equipped with imported TL–10 equipment and vehicles. The battalion is composed of the following units:
- A flight of four Mendel class Heavy Bombers with 16 crew.
- A tank company with eight Marauder-2 class Tracked Main Battle Tanks with 32 crew.
- Two batteries of five Marauder-3 class Towed 25cm Howitzers for a total of 10 towed guns and 10 Mendel-2 class Wheeled 6x6 Trucks as prime movers. Combined they have 250 personnel.
- One battery of seven Marauder-4 class Towed 15cm Howitzers with seven Mendel-2 class Wheeled 6x6 Trucks as prime movers. They have 105 personnel. The loaders in these batteries double as logisticians. They must ferry supplies, ammunition, and equipment from supply depots to the front line with the battery's trucks when lolls in combat permit.
- The battalion headquarters contains all of the unit's support elements. The medical platoon has a surgical van that deploys a battalion aid station with three trauma surgeons (medic-3+) and a driver/orderly. There are four ambulances which deploy company casualty clearing stations with driver/orderlies and six triage nurses (medic-2). There are 14 medics with 10kg (Cr1,000) medical kits which are attached to the batteries as needed. There is a maintenance platoon with two workshops, an assortment of tool kits and forty mechanics. The mess platoon has four field kitchens and eight cooks, with four drivers/KP specialists.
