| − | == Mercenary Factions For SPAM == | + | ==Mac M1 Installation via Steam== |
| | | | |
| − | Thanks to the SPAM sub-mod for BTA (please read its entry in the FAQ for details about the sub-mod and what it does), BTA has now added a large volume of mercenary commands and pirate bands as eligible sub-factions for players to encounter during gameplay. For the curious, a list of the mercenary commands is below so you can know where you can fight any given mercenary or pirate group. Also, if a mercenary command has anything special about it, it will be specifically noted on their entry on the list. The list will be organized by "parent" faction (i.e. the faction that the listed mercs work for, so a mercenary unit listed under the Capellan Confederation heading can be found as a SPAM replacement on missions against the Capellan Confederation). Unless otherwise noted, *all* of these factions also work for Local Government and the "generic" Mercenaries faction currently found in BTA. Finally, unless otherwise noted, *all* of these factions are true and canon BattleTech mercenary and pirate units, all of which have backgrounds that can be found on Sarna for your reading pleasure.

| − | The Broadsword Legion is a recently created mercenary unit composed of ex-ComGuard officers and soldiers who chose to resign rather than serve under Victor Steiner-Davion upon his nomination as Precentor Martial of ComStar. Most of the Broadsword Legion's members were formally of the ComGuard's 166th Division and fought against Clan Wolf during the Battle of Tukayyid, giving them a keen insight into the Clan threat.

| − | Harlock's Warriors was formed when House Kurita dropped a company of criminals hopped up on combat drugs in sub-standard 'Mechs onto Kobe in 2825 to harass the Lyrans there. Led by Sven Harlock, the criminals quickly realized they were sent to die and made a pact with some local bandits to escape and seek better fortunes elsewhere, turning into a respectable mercenary command in the decades since.

| − | One of the most legendary mercenary companies in the Inner Sphere, the Kell Hounds were founded in 3010 by Morgan and Patrick Kell. The Kell Hounds quickly rose to prominence in the Successor States through a combination of tactical acumen, strategic brilliance, and superior technical aptitude. They continued to grow and prosper until 3016, with a climactic duel between Morgan Kell and Yorinaga Kurita of the Draconis Combine's Second Sword of Light. The fight ended in a draw after an improbable series of events prevented Kurita from targeting Kell's 'Mech. Shortly thereafter, Morgan Kell abruptly disbanded two-thirds of the Kell Hounds and consigned himself to a life of exile in a relgious retreat on Zaniah for a time. Currently, the Kell Hounds are managed by Morgan once again and serve as the wardens of the Arc-Royal Defense Cordon against the Jade Falcons.

| − | Grim Determination is a dedicated mercenary unit with an extensive history, dating back to the Amaris Civil War. Long employed by the Federated Suns, the unit was stationed on Sarna in 3057 during Operation Guerrero. However, when Sarna declared itself an independent state, the Sarna Supremacy, the unit was unsure how to react and instead waited for future orders. However, the Suns betrayed the unit and claimed they broke their contract. Bereft of other options, Grim Determination signed on with the Supremacy and remained in the Chaos March.
