M-EDF 9/21/1

"Hard-ass grunts."

- Staff Sergeant Avery J. Johnson describing M-EDF 9/21/1

M-EDF 9/21/1 was a United Nations Space Command Marine Corps battalion assigned to the Epsilon Eridanus System.

In 2513, it was commanded by Lieutenant Colonel Ponder, and had an operation at Elysium City, Eridanus II. M-EDF 9/21/1 was ordered by FLEETCOM to neutralize the second-in-command to the Insurrectionist leader, Colonel Robert Watts. Against FLEETCOM's insistence on a show of force, Ponder attempted to personally speak to family members of the second-in-command, when a M-EDF 9/21/1 sharpshooter took a hasty shot, completely collapsing the situation. As a result, Ponder was demoted to the rank of Captain and reassigned from M-EDF 9/21/1.

M-EDF 9/21/1 is the designation for: Ninth Marine Expeditionary Force, 21st Division, 1st Battalion.
