The McFinnigan and Sons Company was contacted in 2028/2029 as a training unit for nobles on Klathandu IV.

However, fight to fend of the Combine the invading 9th Benjamin Regulars had gone badly. The Raman Draconos March Militia (RDMM) was force to go guerilla warfare as when their initial planet drop, their leadership was killed. 1st FedCom Regiment, newly formed arrived soon after however their efforts were flagging as well.
