[[Tyrell's Raiders]] were an independent [[mercenary unit]] of company size, originally raised as a militia force from Kajikazawa, under the command of Salvadore's father Raymond Tyrell. At some point (implied to be around 3024) the Raiders were attached to the [[Second Benjamin Regulars]] as auxiliary reserve troops, and deployed on the planet of [[New Wessex]]. Battalion commander ''Sho-sa'' Victor Garreth, openly disdainful of the unit, ordered Tyrell's Raiders to guard an important river crossing, the Ourus Crossing, against a [[House Steiner|Steiner]] force of ostensibly equal strength. However, the attacking force turned out to be not a company, but a heavy regiment in size, and crushed the defenders in short order, killing Salvadore's sister Theresa in her ''[[Shadow Hawk]]'' and forcing Salvadore himself to eject from his wrecked ''[[Centurion (BattleMech)|Centurion]]''.

Upon returning to base on foot after three days in the wilderness, Salvadore Tyrell found that the survivors of his unit had been hanged for cowardice in the face of the enemy because they allegedly retreated from a fight with roughly equal numbers against explicit orders after having suffered only light damage. Their remaining BattleMechs had been confiscated by the Second Benjamin Regulars, who had already lifted off. The destruction of Tyrell's Raiders had obviously been a plot by Victor Garreth to acquire their valuable 'Mechs for his own troops, sacrificing what he considered a worthless mercenary unit.

[[Dispossessed]] and with no options, Salvadore returned home to plot his revenge against the treacherous commander. Almost a year later he was contacted by Duke [[Hassid Ricol]] and hired to create a personal 'Mech company for the Red Duke. Salvadore named the unit "Tyrell's Terrors" after his late father's ''[[Dragon]]''. The unit is deployed to garrison on [[Verthandi]] following an uprising there (implied to be the events from the novel ''[[Mercenary's Star (novel)|Mercenary's Star]]'').
