The '''Black Knight Legion''' was a [[mercenary]] unit of the [[Inner Sphere]]. Focusing especially on the pay and the quality of their work, the legionnaires were famous throughout the Inner Sphere for having two purposes: money and quality. With their fearsome reputation of fearless warriors they proved themselves deadly, efficient and reliable. However, like most mercenaries, they did not care about ethics, fighting always for the highest bidder. | The '''Black Knight Legion''' was a [[mercenary]] unit of the [[Inner Sphere]].

History
Sedaris Insurrection
The Legion outmanuevered, outfought, and outlasted "rebel upstarts," securing the world for its nominal government.
Massacre of Canteron
The Legionnaires sold their lives dearly while successfully evacuating the planet's royal family.
Working for the Corvatti Corporation, the Legion wiped out the pirates threatening Corvatti mining assets. The Legion was then approached by a Lyran Alliance mercenary liaison officer, Major Clarissa Dupree and offered a contract to take back Kentares IV on behalf of Archon Katherine Steiner-Davion.
Liberation of Kentares IV
Colonel Michael Lawhorn was double-crossed by his Lyran employer and killed in action on Kentares in May of 3063. Command of the unit was passed on to Eric McClair.
McClair and his lancemates nearly killed Duke Ian Dresari and eliminated three of his closest supporters.
Payback
The Legion took revenge on their former Lyran employer, Major Dupree, by hunting her down and wiping out the entire Lyran garrison on Voltrat III. The Legion subsequently made the planet their base of operations.
Organization and equipment
The Black Knight Legion operate at least a Reinforced Company.
