Mag Force 7 Series by Margaret Weis, Don Perrin

Xris, Mag Force 7's cyborg leader, burns with a personal vendetta against the traitor who made him part machine. Now, revenge is at hand. There's just one problem--the Knights of the Black Earth, a deadly fanatical group bent on assassinating the King and throwing the galaxy into chaos. Xris and Mag Force 7 must now join forces with the enemy to battle this devastating threat.

When their cyborg leader, Xris, is jailed on a trumped-up charge of murder, the Mag Force 7 team realizes that they've become pawns in a treacherous game. At the core of the conspiracy is the ultra-secret Hung Syndicate, the most savage and corrupt criminal organization in the history of the galaxy. The Syndicate has big plans for planet Del Sol, but they've made one big mistake: leaving Xris and his crew alive to smash and blast their way to the truth.

Many years before he formed the Mag Force 7 team of commandos-for-hire, Xriswas a government agent, betrayed by one of his own while invesigating the galaxy-wide crime explosion which killed his partner and left him a cyborg. Now, while the rest of the Mag Force 7 is on a mission to overthrow a small planet's despot, Xris has been set up on false charges and sent to a prison planet where he's blackmailed into helping the Hung leaders escape... moreMany years before he formed the Mag Force 7 team of commandos-for-hire, Xriswas a government agent, betrayed by one of his own while invesigating the galaxy-wide crime explosion which killed his partner and left him a cyborg.
