History
The Defiance Self-Protection Force was formed in 2852 by Baron Brewer, in order to defend Defiance Industries. The first recruits known to join were volunteers and factory workers who were trained to be Mechwarriors. The security Mechwarrior's sacrifice was so valiant, that Baron Brewer would keep the BattleMech regiment alive as a tradition in honor of fallen warriors.[1]
