the Lùyíngbing
The Lùyíngbing is the self assigned code name for Hsien's Pro-Capellan irregulars, an odd alliance of Outlaw Biker Gangs and Capellan Loyalists. With ties to one of the minor corporate families and the local criminal underground, they have arranged to obtain shipments of weapons and supplies, and to hire freelance pilots and crews. While their organization is large, it's cell structure prevents it from being able to field a strong direct action force. Their ranks continue to swell as Hassid Montong continues to crack down on pro-capellan popular movements.
The Lùyíngbing's Direct action group is comprised primarily of the Jungle Raptors Bikers Gang, one of the larger and more violent Outlaw Biker Gangs on the planet. While not military trained, they are enthusiastic and their off-road Bikes, Trikes, and ATV's give them excellent mobility in the Jungles and Arid Deserts of Hsien. Bolstering this Infantry force is the Baturu, a lance of Elderly Veterans who in their youth fought against the Word of Blake and the formation of the Republic of the Sphere. While their mechs are of primitive design, they provide a capable recon element. The last component is a Lance of mercenaries and freelancers, referred to as the Yong Ying, recruited to give the force a skilled combat element. equipped with the best Battlemechs and vehicles the Lùyíngbing could smuggle onto the world, the mercenaries owe more allegiance to the their corporate backers than the Lùyíngbing movement proper.

33rd Hei'àn Company.
Hei'àn companies are a covert operation unit concept used by the Capellan Confederation, first seen in their offensives in the 3140's. They are largely used as deep strike, raiding, and guerilla support units. Hei'àn companies are primarily composed of older equipment drawn from storage to allow them to be formed rapidly, their personnel drawn from whatever sources are available at the formation. as a result many Hei'àn companies have a large percentage of pilots with minor disciplinary problems and criminal connections. The CCAF leadership consider Hei'àn units effectively expendable, and have not devoted much effort to overcoming these issues.
The 33rd fared better than most Hei'àn units when created, it's commander using his noble ties to arrange access to higher quality equipment, including obtaining an early prototype of the new Yinghuochong Battlemech for field testing. The unit was dispatched to assist the Lùyíngbing Guerillas on Hsien in the late 3130's, which at the time was deep behind enemy lines. Inserted over the course of several months disquised as laborers and machine tools for mines in the Chengu Jungles, the unit has thus far largely kept its operations limited to connecting to Lùyíngbing movement, and patrolling the deep jungles around their remote mining site base while a plan of action is developed.

the Guerilla's i gave group names based on military organizations from the Manchu dynasties of china, which is something i figure that a pro-capellan group might do in the post Xin-Sheng time periods. the group name is better known by it's english translation, the Green Standard Army. Baturu was a military title given to skilled warriors, and Yong Ying was a type of civilian militia seen in the later parts of the Qing Dynasty in their wars against european colonization.
the Hei'àn Company's are my own idea, sorta halfway between a Capellan Shadow Lance and the Combines Ghost Regiments. the name means "darkness", with it's parts having alternate meanings like secret, hidden, covert, etc. the concept is basically to let me avoid using a canon unit, and to give me a Shadow Lance type unit without being stuck having to use all stealth armor designs.
