Legend

this small, ragged company of rebellious soldiers specializes in extremely dangerous missions. Led by Tagg Pierce, they were referred to in the mercenary business as "dead men," because they made more trouble for themselves than for their opponents. Over their history, the Irregulars experienced a ninety-six percent turnover rate and more than fifty-percent casualties. They used to operate from a base on the planet Laramus, hoping to distance themselves from the Galactic Civil War, but the Alliance cell there continued to grow. The Empire arrived and destroyed much of the planet, forcing the Irregulars to search out a new base. In the aftermath of the Battle of Endor, the Irregulars allied themselves with the New Republic and worked to seek out and destroy pockets of Imperial control.
