'''''Decision at Acamar''''', by [[Kevin Killiany]], was published online on [[BattleCorps]] and introduced the [[1st Rim Commonality Guards|Chaos Irregulars]] [[mercenary unit]]. This was a BattleCorps experiment by which subscribers to the site could vote on the next course of action for the protagonist unit; following the second story (''[[Crossroads at Outreach]]''), three choices would usually be presented on what contract or action to take next and the next story would be penned based on the outcome of the vote.

[[Ariel Peregrine]] leads the Peregrine Hussars' Baker Company to the foothills, hoping to link up with other militia forces at the capital city of Kalskag. They are attacked by Olson's Rangers in a strange purple smoke that somehow interferes with their sensors, but during the battle a lone ''[[Mongoose]]'' (piloted by [[Reema Chowla]] of Sorensen's Strikers) unexpectedly appears. Her sensors seem unimpaired, and she directs the Hussars to repulse the attack and meet up with the remains of Sorensen's Strikers. Together, they figure out that the purple smoke blinding their sensors works is radioactive metallic dust that clings to 'Mech sensors through static, but can easily be neutralized with this knowledge. The joint Hussars/Strikers force moves to relieve Kalskag, but they only arrive in time to see the [[DropShip]]s of [[Cunningham's Commandos]] arrive, dispatched from [[Zurich]] to save Acamar.

The Commandos send Peregrine's Hussars and Sorensen's Strikers back to [[Outreach]] on a captured Rangers DropShip. The overall poor performance of the defending mercenaries on Acamar and the losses incurred by their units prompt Peregrine and Jacoam to agree to join forces and form a new unit with shared command, to be named the Chaos Irregulars.
