System: Lockton

[3067] Lockton has been garrisoned by the Caesar’s Cohorts mercenary unit for the last 30-odd years. Caesar’s Cohorts arose from former members of the Marian Hegemony’s Praetorian Guard who left their homeworlds in late 2795, rejecting the piracy that had by then become an accepted way of life among their former brethren. They formed the Cohorts on the principles they believed the Praetorian Guard had been meant to follow. Life was not easy for this burgeoning command, as contracts came few and far between for a unit with no experience.

Despite contracts with the Lyran Commonwealth and Free Worlds League, the Cohorts failed to make it within the Inner Sphere, and so returned to the Periphery. In the Magistracy of Canopus, they found refuge and more garrison employment, taking up station on Lockton in 3030. They were soon drawn into the Andurien-Canopian invasion of the Capellan Confederation in September of that year, and performed better than their Canopian counterparts, thanks to their experience of fighting House troops.

On Drozan, the Cohorts put up a spirited defense against Kincade’s Rangers and even deflected one assault from elements of Warrior House Dai Da Chi, however Major Orosco ultimately withdrew the Cohorts, knowing the Capellan force was more powerful than his employer realized. Since then, the Cohorts have returned to defending Lockton, working in tandem with Ramille’s Raiders.
