Unit Profile:
Parent Organization: Tikonov Reserves
Joshua Kincade defected from the Federated Suns in 2985 following a dispute with his Davion
employers over rank and pay. Eagerly accepted into the ranks of House Liao, the newly designated
Rangers (formerly Kincade's Tribulation) did not have long to wait before settling scores with House
Davion. In 2987, the Rangers were assigned the role of principal contingent in the Capellan raid on
Aosia. From a rear-area depot on Aosia's southern hemisphere, the Rangers captured three Davion
Corsair Aerospace fighters intact, the first ever obtained by the Confederation. While the rest of the
Capellan invaders took the brunt of the Davion counterattacks, Kincade's battalions ranged far afield,
destroying vast numbers of crops and munitions stores, withdrawing with only two BattleMechs lost in
four weeks of campaigning.
Maximilian Liao has instructed various Ranger lances to undergo specialized training with the Death
Commandos. Many eventually transfer to that command. Maximilian has kept a close watch on this unit
in recent years, and speculation has it that the Rangers are probably being earmarked for some special
operation known only to the Chancellor.
Primary BattleMechs: Ostscout
Unit Insignia: A gold scorpion against a green field |
