Dragonkind
Sun Tzu and Isis built on their renewal of the Concord of Kapetyn with an announcement seeking Draconis to aid her rightful claim to the Atrean throne. While no response ever came from Luthien neither likely suspected any direct aid from House Kurita but rather send a powerful symbolic message to would be allies. Generous support went to any Combine native who joined their cause and despite a low initial turnout enough supporters were gathered to form a small mercenary unit called the Dragonkind. This BattleMech company which operates in support of the main advance hopes to grow larger with future recruitment and aid from other Draconians. Given that the quality and reputation of these warriors is dubious to say the least such expansion maybe unfeasible but only time will tell.

High standards indeed, LOL! 

Hey the Col. Vernon Nillsson of  Doom Warriors has the high standards, just when your mechs are in the mad max style you have to be honest with what you will work for.

The more the merrier Dragon Cat!

Please give me a little about your unit such as a roster or its size, commander, place of origin, history, base (Outreach, Galatea, other), and perhaps a clue of what you'd like to see them doing in the wars to come. You know how I like a little fluff.

I sure don't mind crossovers if you don't DC.

The Doom Warriors look good Doc, do you have a little fluff?

Technicals.  For real bottom-of-the-barrel and Mad Max aesthetic, you want technicals 

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Technical_(vehicle)

Might be cheaper to maintain than a fleet of dirt bikes, and also allows you to transport your heavier infantry 'support' weapons, while still counting as mechanized infantry.

Oh, technicals are definitely the ideal militia weapon.  But their super low-end cost is also ideal for emphasizing just how low-budget a merc outfit like (for example) the Doom Warriors really are.  Plus, if you're motivated, you can really pack quite a few light trucks into a very tight space, like a garage, or one corner of a warehouse or shipyard, or the interior of a dropship.  It helps that as light trucks, you can pile a lot of cr... gear on the bed of the truck 

Sanderson's Lance

This unit originates from the original Star League era from the world of Wynn's Roost in the Outworlds Alliance.  During the years they have traveled through the Draconis Combine to their present location in the Lyran Commonwealth and they haven't looked back.  Gone are the days when the unit was filled with primitive BattleMechs and now it sports a single lance of modern BattleMechs which specialize in raiding operations.

The unit has two DropShips the ancient Ormen Lange dates back to the first Star League era, as does its two escort fighters two Vulcan craft.  The Zeemeeuw, a Condor-class vessel, is of newer construction and carries the majority of the unit's infantry and dependents.

While the "Zee" could carry 12 platoons of infantry the unit only ever fields six and mostly in security/base defence and construction roles.  The twenty vehicles carried are made up of Infantry Support vehicles and vehicles used to either house or transport their support staff when they are separated from their DropShips.

Just found this future canon one today while researching Andurien worlds and thought I'd add it here. I like the concept I must say.

Ogoun's Machete (‘Mech company)
This indigenous BattleMech company was long an unknown factor on the quiet rocky world of Siendou. This resource rich planet was colonized during the height of the Star League by Senegalese settlers who established a constitutional theocracy in the Duchy of Andurien. Their global faith known as Siva Lwa prohibits service in a national military and so most outsiders presume this mining world has no defenders. This assumption went unchallenged until the Third Marik Civil War when a small bandit group, Harper’s Renegades, attempted to raid Siendou. To their shock the were quickly set upon by this previously unidentified force of native Mechwarriors. Harper and his men were soundly defeated by these Siva Lwa adherents who demonstrated for all that practicing warfare as a trade is not forbidden by their religion. Despite their surprising appearance none have dared approach them yet about an outside contract since they are unregistered as mercenaries. Negotiators are wary to approach them as regular soldiers of fortune fearing it may be offensive to the unit or their religion. It could be more accurate to describe them as a private military force who defends Siendou from threats.
