Four Yahoos

The Four Yahoos was the name bestowed on Silesian pirates Jerome Tyler, Samson Lamar, Juliette Morakis, and Dongcai Maurersberger by Haicheng Ringstorff.
In 1918 PD, Ringstorff hired the Four Yahoos on behalf of Manpower Incorporated in a covert attempt to drive a wedge between the Republic of Erewhon and the Star Kingdom of Manticore, an action that was hoped would lead Erewhon into alignment with the Solarian League and allow Technodyne Industries to acquire examples of front line Manticoran technology.
The plan failed however as the four Gladiator class heavy cruisers supplied to the Four Yahoos by Manpower were destroyed in the Battle of Tiberian against the Royal Manticoran Navy heavy cruiser HMS Gauntlet, though Erewhon did eventually end its alliance with Manticore but aligned itself with the Republic of Haven instead of the League.

Secondary aim of the Four Yahoos hiring was protection of the Mesan owned Verdant Vista System. ()
