What is your Favorite Periphery Unit?
« on: 11 August 2011, 05:05:07 »
Haven't seen any recent threads on periphery units so I thought I would start one especially considering everything that has recently transpired.

Personally I would like to say Ebon Magistrate is my favorite, but seeing as they as more of a intelligence/cover operations unit than an actual military unit I will have to say that my favorite is 1st Canopian Light Horse.

Cohors Moriturii.

What they lack in high tech and training they make up for with a set of brassen ones.

The Knights of Randis, 1st Battalion.
Oh my brother, with your courage we can conquer,
In your sword I put my trust that you will honor
I will be the higher ground should you concede it
And my body be your shield if you should need it.

The Belt Pirates and later, the New Belt Pirates. It's a shame that they are simply listed as "obliterated" in FM:Periphery.

"Warriors, not war machines, are the backbone of the Hell's Horses. While others worship the BattleMech as the ultimate weapon, the men and women of this Clan see even this awesome piece of technology as the tool it is. We have held to this philosophy since the days of our first Khan, who knew that the value of the common soldier far outstripped the brute force of the BattleMech. It is one reason our Clan possesses fewer mechs than most, and has led many to underestimate our fierceness and courage. Our survival against all challengers when others have fallen proves the folly of such arrogance, and testifies to the wisdom of our founders."

Nice to see that the Knights have a good following.

The Belt Pirates and later, the New Belt Pirates. It's a shame that they are simply listed as "obliterated" in FM:Periphery.

Also a fan of the New Belt Pirates, specifically 2nd Battalion ;)

My favorite unit though is a tie between:
Beta Galaxy (The Sand Runners): 1st Cateran Cluster
Chi Galaxy ( The Eternal Quest): 1st Scorpion Seekers
 8)

they are one of the most interesting factions to pop up in the btu lately. on top of that we have little info on them, and what we do know tends to only lead to more questions, it leaves a lot to think about. and so yeah i also think it's really cool there are so many fans

Colonial Marshals:  I love their job.  :)  Protecting the settlers from the scum of the universe...

and

First New Colony Lancers:  I think they are the First Taurian Pryde now.  Erm...Pride?  ;)  Anyways, I fell in love with them before the secession.  Once again, I love their job.  Protecting the new colonies from the scum of the universe.
