Black Widow Company vs 21st Centauri Lancers

[pserrat]

In Tales of the Black Widow Company, it says that the Black Widow Company engaged elements of the 21st Centauri Lancers during the Twelfth Battle of Marduk (Reference: ''Tales of the Black Widow Company'', pp. 26-27), but the unit was in House Marik employment at that time, so this seems improbable.

Which is the actual "real" happening.

Where does it state that the Lancer's are in Marik employ? No date is given for the scenario, though it is presumably 3023 or after given the Dragoon's are working for the Kuritans.

The Unit is in House Marik Employment in 3025, and fought for the loyalist in the Anton Marik Revolt until at least 3015.

Though it is true nothing is said, those 10 years only make sense to be un Marik employment

But nothing is mentioned in Tales of the Black Widow - so no errors there.

Why? The Lancers are mercenarys; they'll serve whoever pays them - except Liao in their case. The Dragoons changed employers numerous times. By your reckoning the Dragoons would still be working for House Marik as they worked for them in 3015, which obviously isn't the case.

It's also entirely possible that the bulk of the Lancers were indeed in Marik employment, but elements could have been working for other employers too.

Hope that helps,

Right. There’s nothing contradictory here.
