Alor of Clan Gred, Mando'ad'jetii
OUT OF CHARACTER INFORMATION
After the Hammerfall invasions, Clan Gred began to attempt to rebuild while staying on the move, picking up other refugees along the way. The unique leads of the fleet would soon expand into the unit that would become known as the Netherhounds. The 1st MIL Battalion, standing for Marine/Infantry/Landing, was the result of needing a combat unit that could cover many areas of service, including protecting the ships in the fleet and acting as a way for the refugees to remind the Galaxy that they haven't lost yet. It was during this training period as well that the nickname "Netherhounds" was first brought up by a pilot watching in the hangers, as the he noted they looked like they'd "Fight to the Nether and back."
The unit's first action was on Wayland with a 60 man platoon. Only 11 would make it out of that battle, caught by the blast from below the city they were defending. After the battle, Fora Ollen a Dathmirian that had run from her home in the past, was promoted to its commander. Since this time, the Battalion has continued training in hopes of being ready for the next battle that may come in the future.

Mandalorians of the unit have their armor, and notably the units commander, Fora Ollen, is armed with a Dathorian energy bow.

- Combat Function: The unit, while not the largest, serves to both protect the refugee fleet and function as a fighting force. When in combat, they act as a sort of marine or infantry unit, with teams of multiple specialties. They are known for fighting like they're "From the Nether," and operate along side larger forces and armor as support.
- One of the hardest fighting battalions around, that rarely give in without taking more lives then they lose.
- Mix of skills and tactics can lead to hard to predict fighting.
- In many ways the unit is more like a family than anything, leading to strong bonds between many Netherhounds.
- Non-traditional communication tactics.
- Very little gear standardization makes logistics a nightmare.
- While the group is like a family, there is some tension when it comes to who's been given command.
- As a relatively small unit, they may have trouble facing larger forces.
- The various ideas on tactics don't always mix.
