This is a list of the major mercenary units active in 3025 and their current stats. This includes those employed by the five Successor States as well as the Taurian Concordat and the Magistracy of Canopus. (The Outworlds Alliance refuses to hire mercenaries in 3025.) Included at the end is also the Bandit Kingdoms and other minor Periphery powers. I compiled this from the 3025 '80s sources a while back and ended up posting it on the old forum. I tried to correct any errors as I found them as well as expanded entries and added new entries where possible.

I mention the Northwind Highlanders last. The most senior of the Northwind Highlanders regiments was created in 2362 and began employment with the Capellan Confederation, with whom the below four Northwind Highlanders regiments have continued to serve since their foundings. As people were kind enough to point out, they were apparently founded as mercenaries by Clan Stuart, which originated in Scotland before colonizing Northwind. However, the Northwind Highlanders have been with the Capellan Confederation for so long that they are treated as line regiments. Despite this, they never forgot their mercenary roots and kept their Northwind traditions. ***Spoiler*** After the 4SW, they jump ship to the Federated Suns to then be garrisoned on Northwind and begin to act like a mercenary unit (again).

I think the OA doesn't so much refuse to hire. It's just that like all executive actions it needs unanimous approval of the Executive Parliament. Eventually a body was created specifically to deal with merc contracts in a slightly less frustrating manner.

Also the OA does not like mechs in general. But mostly they are poor af.

Apparently the Alliance Charter forbids the hiring of mercenaries in 3025. Smart of them to finally change that if they eventually created a government body for hiring mercs. (I'm not well read on newer sources.)

True, they have disdain for Mechs, which they see as symbols of destructiveness and the tools of tyrants, resulting in their MechWarriors not being treated with the same high status (or pay) that they are almost everywhere else. And yea, times are bad in 3025 OA and food shortages are common.

They do love their ASFs though, which keeps their military strong!

Didn't know it was Unconstitutional (Uncharterable?) for them in those days. I bow to superior knowledge. I don't have any sourcebooks myself, my enthusiasm for all things Outworlds is derived from Sarna.net and other fan made sources.

It makes sense to have been in the Charter, as the Alliance was founded by and for people who rejected the military-industrial complex.

I think this is one of the reforms Neil (or was it Mitchell?) managed to get through. Most likely Mitchell, since he actually wanted to expand and improve the Ground Defense Arm.

I personally find this list really informative, because I do not want to create (in mistake) samekind of name what is allready in use.
So I guess my "Iron Legion" will work just fine and time will tell if we can carve name for ourself among the other great groups out there.
 
Your missing the Northwind Highlanders! Who had an exclusive contract with Capellan Confederation ever since their home world was attacked by the Fed Rats.

They are at the end of the merc list, before the bandit kingdoms, sorry for the confusion. They were treated as line units in the '80s sources, so I listed them separate. :D
 
I don't remember Steiner being big proponents of the company store trick, quite the contrary I remember Steiner being very generous because they need mercs to round out their forces. My best guess is these are units that fell in to debt thru service with another house and are working off rebuilding fees with that fat Lyran purse.

Or now that think about it, they could have taken large loans to expand their arsenals, working for free till they pay off the loans.
 
Basically, yeah. Get torn up either working for an employer like the DCMS or shot up and not paid because your employer lost out in a Marik civil war, so you take a cash heavy job for Steiner. At this point Federated Suns and Steiner are the best (paywise) for mercs. Kurita hasn't gone full death to mercenaries yet, but they still don't like them and frequently play games. The Free Worlds League ain't bad as long as your employer isn't playing some sort of scheme, ask the Dragoons or the Grey Death Legion. Liao needs mercs, but they ride them hard and expect more loyalty than most mercs feel comfortable with (see the big MAC). Davion's military is big enough that if they are hiring a merc unit your going to get used and you'll earn your keep in blood and parts.
 
Iirc, Davion and Kurita are the biggest abusers of the Company Store, but all the houses are said to use it. But the Lyrans could be savvy enough to offer Mercs in danger of being trapped by other houses loans on more forgiving terms. Poaching rivals' Mercs while still being the 'Good Guys.'
 
Yup the Fed Rats and the Draconis Combine are the largest abusers of the company store policy...A mercenary outfit could probably get the best deal from the Lyran Commonwealth however you will have to deal with a political appointment from the nobility of dubious ability. Free Worlds League will become a bit hostile toward mercenaries in the near future but are still a good employer in 3025. Capellans generally a good employer but they may just send you into the middle of a civil war..the dragoons know all about that...
 
This is awesome. I was stoked to be able to fly the flag of an actual canon merc operation since so many of these are not fleshed out at all, but it looks like all my favourites are pretty clearly under employ in 3025. I love the Blue Star Irregulars but they look to be too officially pro-Davion to be operating, skint, in the periphery; same for the Blackhearts who were under Lyran employ. Thanks for putting this together regardless :)
 
Yeah no way any periphery state (aside from the Taurians and Magistricy, which are closer to mini-Successor States) could afford the Blue Stars or other A-listers like the ELH, Northwind Highlanders, etc. Aurigan Reach is better territory for company sized or smaller working short term contracts.
 
Keep in mind that these mercs are not the totality of merc units in the Inner Sphere. Its more a list of A listers. In this game we are playing one lance nobodys operating in the middle of nowhere.

It still astounds me that such an extensive list can be made. The lore of Battletech has crazy depth.

Writers can always pull another merc unit out of a hat whenever they need it for a story. Basically, there are as many company-sized or smaller merc units as plot requires.
At this time, the Mercenary Commands category on Sarna has 446 entries, though this includes mercs from later eras, apocryphal units, and some redirects where the same unit had more than one name. It's far from complete.
