In [[3007]], prior to the inception of Hansen's Roughriders as a mercenary unit, she served [[House Marik]] as a mercenary defending [[Rochelle]] against a [[Lyran Commonwealth|Lyran]] attack. When House Marik attempted to confiscate mercenary 'Mechs in the aftermath of the fighting, the mercenary unit [[McFinney's Manglers]] (the nucleus of what was to become [[Snord's Irregulars]]) rallied disgruntled mercenaries and fought their way off-world. Carlyle fought with the Manglers, although it is unknown if she was a member of that unit or just an associate of them during the uprising.<ref>''BattleCorps Scenario: Twins''</ref>
  
However, Melinda Carlyle was best known for serving with the mercenary unit [[Hansen's Roughriders]].  Carlyle became known for her habit of hunting down enemy ''Panthers'', allegedly to deliver a blow to the overblown ego of their pilots and to prove that even someone who was not a [[DCMS]] 'Mech pilot could ably pilot one. She would pursue enemy ''Panthers'' even if she had to leave her post to do so, but was remarkably successful.<ref name=TRO3025/>
