Dark Company does not exist. There is no joint offensive operations between the TDF and TMI, nor is it supported by the Calderon Protectorate. This unit is either a rogue mercenary or a pirate band operating in the vicinity of the Fronc Reaches.
...Officially, at least.
"Dark Company" is the moniker the company's members have given themselves, due to the lack of an official unit name. It was born out of backroom meetings between high level Concordat and Protectorate diplomats, its purpose to find evidence that the Magistracy of Canopus and Capellan Confederation are actively engaged in a decades-long campaign to undermine and weaken the Taurian Concordat. While Protector Doru is already convinced of their guilt, other high-ranking members of the TDF and Privy Council require further convincing that the Concordat's true enemies are anyone but House Davion.
The original company roster was as follows:
Command Lance:
BLR-4L Battlemaster
Pilot: Subaltern Reynard Cardenas
ZEU-6S Zeus
Pilot: Cornet Jessica Bourbon
VTR-9B Victor
Pilot: Cornet Harold Jimenez
ARC-6W Archer
Pilot: Cornet Jacques Ruel
Red Lance:
STY-3Dr Starslayer
Pilot: Senior Cornet Tyler Rivera
GRF-1N Griffin
Pilot: Cornet Ivanka Giratina
KW1-LH2 Lineholder
Pilot: Cornet Victoria Sanders
ARC-6W Archer #2
Pilot: Cornet Michael Jarón
Black Lance:
OSR-5C Ostroc
Pilot: Senior Cornet Jacqueline Marquis
PXH-4W Phoenix Hawk
Pilot: Cornet Gerald Saunders
LCT-1V Locust
Pilot: Cornet Raina Gillette
LCT-1V2 Locust
Pilot: Cornet Frederick Krieger
Their first mission was a raid against the Fronc world of Independence, to destroy a munitions factory and crush whatever militia stood in defense. The militia on-site was made up of a lance of VTOLs, a lance of tanks and a lance of fairly advanced Battlemechs. No salvage was taken, but several members of Black Lance took severe structural damage before the militia could be put down, forcing Dark Company to return to the Concordat rather than continue deeper into the Reaches. Cornet Krieger's Locust was upgraded to a -5V variant while being rebuilt, something much easier for the Concordat to maintain than the Marian-built -1V2 the Protectorate had provided from the Open Market.
While undergoing repairs on New Vandenberg, however, the planet was attacked by unknown raiders. The raider battalion split up into individual companies, with each company further splitting into their individual lances to spread the Taurian defenders thin. One such lance was deployed near the Command Lance's firebase, and was intercepted. While Cornet Jimenez's Victor was destroyed in the battle, a lucky shot to the head of the raider Yu Huang ensured that it was easily salvaged and put back into action. The downed Cataphract was not so easy to repair, but considered a much-needed upgrade to allow Cornet Jarón to keep up with the rest of his lance.
The most valuable thing gained from the raid defense, however, was the capture of an operational Penthesilea along with it's pilot. The pilot, Courtney Mavros, was interrogated for hours by Dark Company's resident TMI officer, and facing a swift trial and execution for piracy she finally cracked. She revealed that she, as well as the other raiders on the planet, were soldiers of the Magistracy of Canopus.
Seeing the value of having a Canopian soldier around, Agent Xavier Ertol offered her a chance to work her way into the trust of Dark Company. Seeing no other option - she was too poor to afford to get back into the Canopian military, let alone to cover up the stigma of capture - she agreed to serve as a technician and shiphand... under surveillance, of course.
