Unit:Gun Special Squadrons

Gun Special Squadrons was formed in 3032 under the name Gun Special Squadron during the Andurien Succession Crisis in the Free Worlds League by Stacy Kessler and began as a lance sized element. Gun Squad's first contract was part of the raid on the planet Second Try where their performance earned them little in the way of payment but the CO of the Second Marik Militia heaped praise upon the small unit's actions earning them a reputation as steady and able mercs. Because of their performance on Second Try the Thirteenth Marik Militia put in a bid for GSS to assist in their raid of Wasat in 3033 and the lance was instrumental in ensuring no Free Worlds' units were lost which earned Gun Squad a considerable bonus paid from the Colonel's own pocket.

3034 and 35 were the first busy years for GSS, they took part in over a dozen raids on behalf of both the Free Worlds League and Capellan Confederation against Andurien, FedCom, and Magistry held worlds but were not part of any major military actions. In that year they also grew to a company sized element with enough support to be self sustaining and added the S to the end of the company name. The only major action they participated in was the raid on Shiro III in support of the First Atrean Dragoons, it was this mission that would help GSS rise to eventual prominence.

In 3036 Gun Special Squadrons was once more employed to work for the First Marik Militia during the invasion of Shiro III. As Gun Squadrons knew the relative strength and experience of the soldiers defending the planet the company was able to use it's knowledge to penetrate behind enemy lines and also to advise FWL commanders in a course of action. GSS's contribution to the invasion was a major factor in the eventual reconquest of Shiro III and as a result multiple FWL Commands made bids to have GSS assist them in missions as raiders and scouts. From 36 to the end of the crisis GSS participated in actions on Villanueva, Lopez, Ryerson, Conquista, and the final battle on Andurien, this period of time was also one of constant growth and change within the company which reached Brigade size.

Also in 3039 the mercenary company's battle record caught the attention of Captain General Thomas Marik and and Gun Special Squadrons has since been under the employment of the Free World's League. GSS has participated in the war of 3039 and countless raids into enemy space in the last decade and has a solid reputation within the FWL. Its is now 3049 and the CO of GSS, Stacy Kessler, has announced her official retirement. Gun Special Squadrons has hit a time of transition, a new Commanding officer needs to be elected and perhaps a new direction forged.
