Mars Rising: Marian Hegemony IV

[Turaglas]

Yeap, apparently the MH, RoTS, TC, and guess who? The Escorpion Imperio!

Sounds like good time factions to me.  I approve.

[ArkRoyalRavager]

The Imperio got it from Hansa salvage and the Hansa Purifier factory.

MH and TC are probably using Blakist salvage without a real way of replacing them.

Scorpions also got it from the Blakist cache they took.

[Adacas]

These Blakist leaving Caches everywhere ...., because let's say the only way that a battlearmor remains Salvage is that no one has been using it at the time of capture

[Colt Ward]

Blakists set up caches around the Clans, the Scorpions found a big one as they were escaping the Homeworlds.

Battle armor can be salvaged, I think it is 10% chance per suit to salvage a abstract chunk . . . 3 or 4 chunks make a new suit?  I can never find the rule for that off the top of my head, I have it cited at home.

10+ on a 2D6 to salvage a Battle Suit. About 25% to salvage a BA.

[Colt Ward]

Was the the whole BA or part of a BA that was salvaged?

And the Republic had to get Purifiers post-Jihad.  They were pretty frequent in the MWDA sets.

If you pass the dice-roll, all the BA. Strategic Operations, page 176. I could post a screen capture, but i dont remember if that was against the board rules.

[Colt Ward]

Hmm, might have been thinking of my need to form 'squads' . . . face some Chaos March formation that was fielding a squad of IS Std, squad of Cavaliers, and a squad of Longinus makes it hard to put together a whole new squad out of salvage.

[truetanker]

I, for one, believe these so called " Caches " to be merely Cassion Payload Satellites purposely placed in constellations near the solar orbit to be used when needed.

Things as small as 200 tons don't normally register on a scope. AND if I'm correct, several Megiddo System Space Platforms would be placed in and among them as a defense force. Along side of course, would probable a WoB Skyward.

[Adacas]

Who knows how many of these floating depots must be out there floating in uninhabited systems, peripherals or depots of the SL or RWR that still continue to appear here and there and let's not even talk about the Amaris Outposts ...

[truetanker]

Well " officially " the records were destroyed by WoB ROM when Terra got captured to deliberate stall the answer.

And none of that seemed to apply to Cache 724 or whatever it was the Scorpions stumbled across.  It was a sizeable amount of gear to let them re-arm some forces while the Jaguar also swiped some of it.

[Adacas]

That we would not give that the Hegemony will not find some equipment depot whether they are SL, RWR or Blakist? No?

[Weirdo]

Of those, my favorite would be RWR. We'd get stuff that few others have, like the Ignis!

[Colt Ward]

Not really, those caches are unlikely ( . . . right up until the plot needs one) which is part of the Hegemony's unfortunate stellar cartography.

RWR-  No polities in that location we know of that the Aramis would have been supporting against the SDLF.

Star League-  Not the TC, OA or MoC . . . it was never a area occupied by the SLDF or abandoned when Kerensky took everyone for a romp through the Republic

Blakists-  They were pre-positioning equipment, from at most when they took Terra in '58 to as 'recently' as 3064 when they were provisional Star League members, as replacement gear for wiping out the Clans.  Especially considering it was Blakist entries in TRO '58 & '60- I want to swear there was a Lightray reference which got Scorpions thinking of a Lightray C or IIC.

So yeah, no reason for there to be caches set up in Hegemony space, just like no old SL run production facilities.

Weirdo- a Rampage with Rockets!  A Rocket Rampage!

[Adacas]

Of those, my favorite would be RWR. We'd get stuff that few others have, like the Ignis!

or the Hipparch I know it's dreaming but how about a depot where they were transferring one or two lines of something to some unknown location for the Revolt, there are so many outposts out there that it would not be surprising abandoned bases from where the troops started or were supplied or the rebels supported by Amaris to attack the SDLF throughout the peripheral area

Hmm, don't follow too much but the ATC had built a series of small factories all over the periphery to supply the "demands" for the equipment of the Good Steffan, it is more the factory of mechs that the ATC had in Alphard manufactured about 30 mechs (to know which) for the troops or the rebels of Amaris, so if there was one in Alphard to know how many more could there be in the area

[Adacas]

a Rampage with Rockets!  A Rocket Rampage!

In the name of the most sacred no! Rampage yes, with RL they already have LRM!

[Weirdo]

I'd prefer a rocket Hipparch.

Hmm...A modernized Jackrabbit would be a nice first try at the first Marian-designed true BattleMech...

[Adacas]

I agree that a Hipparch with RL would be interesting, and as for the first design, a modernized Jackrrabit or a Phoenix made a new version, I mean, a Phoenix II would be very interesting.

[Weirdo]

Okay, yeah. The Phoenix would be good, mostly because the shared weight class with the Centurion means it could probably share at least some of the non-Primitive/Industrial components of their existing production.

In a chronicle that he directed, exactly that happened, to find a minor Depot in which there was a high number of Phoenix, the hegemonic techs made a "modernized" version of the Phoenix and called it exactly that Phoenix II.
A cute bestiality that moves 7/11/1 Full Energy Armament (Lasers), The form is in Fan Art in the corresponding post, look for an image in which there are several mechs together, they are different versions of the same mech between 3067 to 3080

[Weirdo]

Wait, who directed what? I'm lost. ???

In something else, it looks like we got the new Stinger

[Turaglas]

I remember talking to SouthernMountain about that on Discord.  I seriously want them printed up still.

One year at a time.

[ArkRoyalRavager]

o Finally it was possible to retrotech the captured material and finish the unfinished lines of the Horatius Factory where the Marauders and Ravagers are made.

This is highly possible. We do require a medium BA in addition to our homegrown heavy and assault BAs.

Amaris had secret training bases all over.  No reason he couldn't have had one on an uninhabited world between the RWR and MoC which just happens to be the modern world of, say, Herculaneum, and was abandoned in such haste that there’s still a few concealed hangars full of mechs and vehicles left behind waiting for someone to uncover one day.

Totally, that Medium or Small Depots appear here and there as a result of these training bases is more than possible, something larger could be a slightly larger base than a Command and Control Center for operations in the area.
