Clifton’s Rangers is a fairly recent addition to the Marik arsenal, having come from the Draconis Combine in 2995. Like many other mercs, the unit had run afoul of the Kurita secret police, the ISF. After hastily returning its advance payment, the Rangers entered Free Worlds space, hoping to benefit from the change of venue. At first, the unit did benefit, participating in the Free Worlds’ siege of Berenson, captured by House Liao just months before. However, the Rangers are not high on the list for replacements or technical support. Consequently, the battalion lacks parts, supplies, and armaments, making them somewhat vulnerable when committed to combat.
The commander of this unit is Major Elias Clifton, who is thin, gaunt, and extremely pale, hence his nickname “the Count.” He rarely speaks more than a few words at a time, preferring instead to communicate his wishes and intentions by chilling glares. He exacts loyalty from his soldiers who, it must be admitted, are more than a little scared of him.
