When Harry Sanders formed the Stalwart Support mercenary company, it was intended for garrison duties rather than high-combat deployments. Unfortunately for Sanders, the command would see more combat than expected due to the deteriorating situation of the [[Chaos March]]. The company's largest long-term employer was the [[Saiph Triumvirate]], and the command spent over a decade battling insurgents and rebels to the regime of Count Balantine <ref name="FMMercsRevp103">''Field Manual - Mercenaries Revised'', p. 103, "Stalwart Support"</ref>. In response to the seemingly endless supplies of insurgent forces, Count Balantine accepted the assistance of the [[Word of Blake]], which promptly provided valuable advice and weapons to Balatine's forces, including the Stalwart Support. However, Colonel Sanders had growing suspicions of the Blakist interest in the Chaos March, suspicions that became all but confirmed with the arrival of the [[Dismal Disinherited]] to the region, throwing the situation into a crisis point.

In [[3067]] [[New Canton]] joined the [[Word of Blake Protectorate]]; after this event, the mercenaries allied themselves with the local resistance movement and the Stalwart Support turned to fight the same kind of guerrilla campaign they had been suppressing for the last decade. The Word of Blake reported that every "obstacle" to their securing of the Protectorate had been removed in August [[3071]], but this was premature; the Stalwart Support continued to fight on - inflicting disproportionate amounts of damage for an infantry regiment - for another two years before they were finally wiped out. <ref name="TRO:3085Sp6">''Technical Readout: 3085 Supplemental'', p. 6, "Key Infantry"</ref>
