Unit:Cored Battalion

Inception
The Coreward Operational Region Expeditionary Division, or "C.O.R.E.D" for short, had it's beginings before the fourth succession war. Small Company sized divisions gathered from the 15th Deneb Light Cavalry, the 2nd Ceti Hussars RCT, and the 3rd Davion Guards RCT, were charged with subterfuge and instigation of open rebellion among Capellan worlds bordering the Federated Suns, in advance of Operation Rat.

Disbandment
The unit was called up again in 3034 to assist with the Federation of Skye unrest, and was caught up in the First Skye Rebellion. Unit commanders of the division found themselves stripped of their rank, or downright courtmarshalled for their "handling" of the Skye Crisis.

Reformation
In 3039, surviving members of the division, including support personnel, CEO's, and equipment, formed the Cored Battalion mercenary unit. A standing contract between the Federated Suns and the unit has them placed within the Kathil Operations Area of the Capellan March.

Battalion Coat of Arms
The Battalion's "Coat of Arms" consists of images representing the three Companys within C.O.R.E.D. Two Chargers rearing up, facing the Federated Suns Starburst on shield, Overlayed with a hand of cards and two eagles facing each other, grasping the Federated Suns Sword.
