History[edit]
The Seventh Cavalry was a mercenary unit that fought for the DCMS prior to Coordinator Takashi Kurita's Death to Mercenaries decree.[1]
At some point after 3053 the unit was working for the Explorer Corps when they mutinied in a dispute over pay and conditions. With their BattleMechs they attempted to pressure the local Kurita commander into returning them to the Inner Sphere. The commander responded by ordering his DEST team into action. The DEST team first captured the Cavalry's technical support team, abd then took down then eight 'Mechs thanks to their superb knowledge of BattleMech and infantry tactics. The twelve-man team disabled all the mercenary 'Mechs, while losing only two of its own personnel. The surviving mercenaries suffered summary execution, and the DEST team appropriated their equipment to continue the mission.[2]
