With the release of TRO 3145 Clans, it felt as if there was finally enough units to build a very Wolf Flavored unit that didn't rely heavily on mechs associated with other clans, and so I set to work on various permutations of mech deployment. Before I knew it, I had a whole cluster's worth of stuff laid out. Decided to turn it into a unit. So, I phonebooked out a galaxy, Decided that Rho was an unlikely-to-be-taken designation, and set about organizing it all.
The Keshik:
CWF's Rho Galaxy (The Altered Beasts) is led by the Cobalt Keshik, a Trinary sized unit. Some of the most skilled warriors in the Galaxy, the Cobalt Keshik has several isorla units in its makeup. These were all won off of opponents the Galaxy has faced, either as the object of a trial, or as battlefield salvage.

Composed almost entirely of salvaged technologies from their conflicts with the Lyrans and Free Worlds League, as well as caches of equipment uncovered during the establishment of the Wolf Empire, the 5th Wolf Sentinels are almost the exact inverse of their brothers in the 15th. The Sentinels are intended as backup to their comrades, as well as defenders who can free up the 3rd and 15th for more important roles.

As you may have noticed, there are some mechs that are not a common sight upon the battlefield. Many of these are reconfigured by the techs of the galaxy out of parts from more modern units.
The Woodsman, for example, was built primarily of Tundra Wolf, Gargoyle, Naga, and Timber Wolf parts on the same Hand-Assembly process that produced Timberwolves on Weingarten. The Pair of Atlas IIs are actually a conversion of a Lyran AS7-D and Free Worlds AS7-K to the specifications on record of the venerable Royal Atlas II. The Warhammer 7A began its life as a Warhammer 7M. The Coyotl, no one has been able to adequately explain. It was discovered during the move from the OZ to the Empire, and recertified for use.
The Mackie, Banshee 1E and Ymirs were discovered in a warehouse that did not appear to have been touched since the late Jihad era. after technicians cleared the mechs for use, they were repurposed into the Wolf war machine.
-
This was a very interesting read for a force-composition junkie like myself, especially since I don't often see large-scale Clan formations. The mixed Trinaries with two 'Mech Stars and a single tank Star were particularly intriguing. Mostly this really makes me want to sit down and build a custom Cluster.
-
Originally I was thinking pure mech trinaries, but the third star kept winding up a mirror of the other two, and while homogeneous forces are good for logistics, they aren't as interesting for force construction.
I've also been working on trying to squeeze multiple roles out of each vee I bring. The clan system, of two vehicles to a point, or two aerospace units to a point, takes some of the sting out of having to spend precious points on nonmech units. Ironically, because of this I'm more likely to use non-mech units while playing clan, than inner sphere. But I still want them to do multiple jobs.
I wish the wolves built the Huey, because that is a thing of beauty, particularly the hag toting AAA variant. Direct fire support, artillery support, anti-aircraft fire, ECM Field, if they built a command post variant I think I'd pass out. Its only real downside is its complete and total lack of mobility, but then, its not really meant to take gold at the races. Since its not a wolf product, but we are noted as using the demolisher C, and the FWL does use the demolisher ArrowIV, I decided that was a more sustainable artillery tank, logistically speaking.
The Maxim Clan variant I'm similarly enamored of, and this one IS a wolf home grown. LRM-15, ECM, and Battlearmor carrying ability? Yes please. Especially in an era where formations like mine, that are all-omni, and can carry elementals are a rarity, something that moves fast, carries and ECM field and can drop back into a fire support role once I've deposited my infantry? I'll take ten! No, really, I did. My only wish is that it would carry more ammo for the LRM launcher, that I might take some specialty ammos with it. 2t just doesnt leave a lot of flexibility.
I built this unit, and most of my units really, with atleast a minor eye to logistics. When I put a mech into the unit, its not just "Does a list say we have this unit?" its also "Can we maintain this unit? can we replace it if it breaks and we can't fix it? Does it share parts with another unit?" The Warwolf, Timber Wolf, and Ryoken II all have the same engine. The Ostragoths too, with a little modification to account for the fact that its aero, not mech. I really wish the wolves had a 75t 5/8 Tank with an XLFE that I could take, if for no other reason than to be a rolling spare. Same deal with the Naga and the Gargoyle. And the Tundra Wolf, Dire Wolf and Tomahawk II all use 300XLs. But its more than just engines. the Warwolf, Timber Wolf, Savage Wolf and Ryoken II are going to use similar actuator packages too. the Tundra Wolf and the Woodsman are going to use similar parts (epecially since I'm fluffing it as being built out of tundra wolf parts), and the Woodsman, Timber Wolf and Savage Wolf all have the same pod space and could easily borrow from each other's closet, as it were.
Likewise I like to keep my Battlearmor largely home grown, since attrition can be heavy amongst them.
What I wish I could have worked in some additional space for, are some artillery field guns and some field gunners with gauss rifles or lbx's to aid in their defense. For that matter, I just had the thought of "wait, we could have HAG Field Guns, couldn't we?" You know, just something to sit back at the fire base with the hueys and demos.
-
My two cents: the only suggestions I would have is slight organazation changes.
For example: The Naga’s in your Support Trinary of the 15th Assault, might be better attached to the Keshik, considering that’s usually how Keshik’s went. You have Warg’s in the 3rd Jaegers, and some varied other Clan mechs, which I would have switched to the Command Trinary of the unit, or the 15th Assault, replacing them with Elementals and second line machines. IMO it seems like you would then have a Keshik, one front line Cluster, and two second line clusters. The mixed tech is good, based on your setting, but then you still have to remember some of your members are Crusaders still.
A fluff point: put mentions of freeborn warriors, second trial of position winners, and even abtaka warriors captured in battle against the FLW and LA.
Other than that nicely done trothkin.
-
Yeah, I considered putting some artillery into the Keshik, but I like having it concentrated in its own unit. Also, while I'm still learning ASF stuff, shouldn't those ASFs be able to carry Arrows if needed?
I think I will go back in and designate a few FWL and LA Abhtaka though, good call.
-
Victory for the 15th Assault today, as Star Captain Ivy Conners and her Medium Nova successfully took a Republic Transmitting facility. Point Commander Cayha and her Elementals successfully seized control of the republic's Black Box and several data stores, though much of the information at the facility was successfully destroyed before the wolves could take control.
The unit suffered no permanent losses, though several elementals from the nova will need time to recuperate after that action. Several republic suits of battle armor, including a near pristine set of Kopis Assault Battle Armor were taken intact, and several Electronic Countermeasures Suites were salvaged.
-
How did the Wulfen perform (and which variant did you use for the mission)?
-
He used the B variant, but it mostly ran around in the background while the rest of the nova star did the heavy lifting.
-
How did the Wulfen perform (and which variant did you use for the mission)?
It was a sauna. The Wulfen runs pretty warm, overall. But I'm really quite fond of it anyway. It did, as foxx put it, stay towards the back , but it really isn't a "get up into their face" machine anyway
-
Star Captain Martin Carns' Assault Star faced 660 tons of Republic defenders, in the form of a heavy star and an assault star, slaying the unit's commander, bonding their XO, taking home some choice salvage, including a Jupiter 2, Atlas III D2, Orion 2M, Penetrator 6M, Rifleman 6x and Nightstar 9J. The Star Captain led from the front, and his Tomahawk took the heaviest damage, being immobilized on the field of battle. The only escapee was the Republican Catapult who fled to inform his comrades of their losses.
After this fight, I'm no longer sure if I'm playing Battletech, or Bitin off Hedz.
-
Nicely done
-
Jeff Sradac's Heavy Star took control of a republic supply cache. His star's only major damage was to the star's Tundra Wolf and one of the Sun Cobras. Supporting the star were a Demolisher C and Demolisher Arrow IV from the support trinary. Buildings took minor artillery damage, but were captured intact. Salvage was meager, the only notable recovery an Avatar omnimech that was directing the C3 network for a pair of Jes II and a locust. a JES and Mars tank both made it off-map, and were not pursued.

1st Technical Administrative Cluster
"The Gremlins"
the 1st TAC is attached to Rho galaxy in addition to its 3 primary clusters. the 1st TAC is a dumping ground for problem hardware and problem pilots. Members are either Dezgra, Sohlama who refuse to die, or are otherwise undesirable. Their hardware is beyond hand-me-downs, these machines have thoroughly had the life beaten from them by service to the clan. Unable to be properly restored any longer, this is their last stop before they are recycled for their scrap value. None of the hardware here is pristine and functional, none of it works properly. Ironically, as they are the only ones this low on the supply food chain, they have little trouble replacing downed machines with a new piece of scrap.
The Cluster is biased towards heavier assets, because lighter units tend to be outright destroyed, rather than reduced to a condition where they would be delegated to this cluster.

and yes, naming it the "TAC" was intentional.
-
I love this; what a great concept for a cluster.
-
All this salvage you acquire: dump it into TAC if it’s broken and steal their OmniMechs or just strip them for parts.
But nice string of victories and new cluster.
-
Hehe, if their omnis were worth stealing, they wouldn't have made it to the TAC.
What they WILL accomplish is a walking reserve of certain parts. Not every component of the TAC is tainted, and if a Timber Wolf finds itsself without a reactor, one of the TAC Timber Wolves might find themselves sidelined, its pilot riding a salvaged Penetrator (which would be the nicest machine in the entire TAC, at that point)
-
What a walking junkyard...
You realize, I´m sure, that these guys are such a ragtag bunch of misfits that they´re practically guaranteed to succeed?
-
We are hoping that if they do not, they at least inspire their better equipped brothers in arms, to make good on their sacrifices.
Honestly, I was somewhat limited by what was feasible to prepare in Megamek. if MM had negative pilot attributes, or an easy system to apply damage prior to battle, I'd have been able to deal much crueller fates to the 1st TAC
-
A setback for the Wolves as a headhunter unit comprised of five mechs and four VTOLS struck at the Command Star of the 15th Wolf Assault Cluster in a cowardly ambush.
Star Colonel Josh Ward fought hard, but was swarmed by Balac VTOLs, and though his Warwolf's Reactive Armor prevented his death, the concussive force of 48 tubes worth of high explosive ATM Bombardment pummeled him into darkness.
Mechwarrior Katrine Kerensky took control of the remaining wolf warriors and rallied the star on the fallen Warwolf, and they fought valliantly, slaying or incapacitating all but one of the enemy mechs, taking out a Jade Hawk, Ryoken II, Raksahasa and Argus, leaving only a Dragon II intact.
Unfortunately, numbers bore out, and Star Colonel Josh Ward, as well as Mechwarrior Katrine Kerensky, Mechwarriors Logan, Omar, and Ranier were all captured by the republic forces and charged with crimes against the republic remnant. Their mechs, what remained, were taken as Isorla.
Galaxy Commander Vickers has designated Star Captain Martin Carns of the Assault Trinary as interim commander of the Cluster, and has ordained that an assault to recover the Star Colonel and his Warwolf, or prevent them from providing intelligence to the republic. This strike is in the planning.
-
The First Two stars (one a nova) of the Medium Trinary Successfully mounted a rescue of the Star Colonel and his Warwolf. All wolf captives were successfully recovered, though the mission came at high material and personnel cost. the Wulfen will require engine work, and both stars will require heavy repairs. Both Mechwarrior Thanos, and Mechwarrior Jennifer were killed in combat.
In the process, an entire light battalion of mixed republic arms were wiped from their rolls, and their on-planet intellgence apparatus was neutralized. Additionally, their command assets have been completely disrupted. Reports are the remaining republican forces are going to ground.
The trinary is down for repairs, but their commander and brothers in arms are thankful for their skillful actions.
-
Woo, I did a good job designing Rho, as I read FM3145. Its almost reflective of the wolf empire touman as a whole. and Rho wasn't used as a galaxy designation!
-
the 5th's heavy armor star, supported by the 2nd Star of the 3rd Jaegers' security star successfully drove off republican forces from a small airstrip where they were preparing to evacuate a VIP. the armor star recieved minor, easily repaired losses and will be back up and running in under two days time.
the Patron Millitiamechs from the 3rd Jaegers were a complete loss. picked apart at range by an excalibur while the faster forces harried the armor.
-
Field-promoted to manage the heavy star, Temporary Star Commander Katrine Kerensky led the wolves to victory against a Republic Head-hunting company today. Captured in various degrees of disrepair were a Ryoken II, two Raksahasa 1Ar, and their pilots. Fleeing the field were four battered demolisher gauss variants, and two squads of infiltrator armor. Also captured, the Captain in charge of the Company, a former Jade Falcon, adopted by the republic calling himself Hakim Stone (Claiming that Stone is the proper adoptee name for the republic, much in the way an abhtaka would bear the surname Wolf, amongst us)
Also present, to make up for the lack of the Star Colonel and his Warwolf, was Mechwarrior Konstantin from the 1st TAC in a Timber Wolf.
All mechs will require repairs, but all should be ready to take the field once more when the techs have finished. For his participation, Konstantin's Timberwolf has been given standard repair priority.
Due to an ammunition explosion, nothing of Hakim's Jade Hawk was recoverable. The techs are consolidating the Raksahasas into one functional unit, and one spare IS 375XL Engine. the Ryoken II is largely a loss, but its engine will be claimed, and used to build a Timber Wolf around.
-
Out of curiosity, which worlds are the Clusters of Rho Galaxy currently stationed on?
-
They're positioned towards terra. I hadn't really hammered out who was where when, so I've just had them working on the march to Terra, while Alaric confuses the lyrans and infuriates the falcons.
-
the 15th Assault's Heavy Armor star showed great tenacity against an enemy company composed of two lances worth of militia-grade armor, and a lance of veteran mercenaries, supported by four mechanized infantry platoons. They successfully held the highway against the enemy push, taking 60+% materiel losses in the process. the Galaxy Commander is bringing the star offline for refit, but guarantees them they will retain their position within the galaxy, and that this is not a move to shuffle them to another cluster.
-
Star Colonel Josh Ward and Star Commander Jeff Sradac's heavy stars engaged in combat with republican forces today, shattering a heavy company and taking some choice salvage in the form of a barely damaged Atlas II. The star mourns the passing of Mechwarrior Logan. until reinforcements are available to reconstitute the armor star, and until a replacement mechwarrior can take Logan's place, his gargoyle will be replaced by a point of Oro tanks from the offline armor star.

Heavy Binary of the 5th Wolf Sentinels, supported by a point of demolisher ArrowIV, engaged a Republic company, successfully neutralizing or destroying them at a high cost to hardware. the binary will require time to repair and refit, but salvaged assets will be sufficient to restore the binary to operation.
-
Thinking of moving the 15th's artillery/vtol group out to galaxy level, to make room for a mech unit when they get resupplied. Put them under the direction of the Keshik.
-
Star Colonel Josh Ward's reconstituted star saw action against a reinforced company of republic units. They brought Star Captain Odeletta Feng and her Naga for backup, and save for a few escaping helicopters, dominated the enemy.
Omar's Timber Wolf was pounded into scrap by combined fire by the entire republic company. Enough remained that the unit can be reconstituted around the Timber Wolf that the techs were building out of a salvaged 375XL reactor in an earlier battle. Omar himself survived the withering barrage. St Cpt Feng's Naga recieved significant damage at the hands of enemy cavalry helicopters
The Wolf's Inexorable advance continues.
-
Moving the Support Trinary out into the Keshik's domain, the 15th held trials to form a new Heavy Attack trinary to serve as a workhorse unit.
Mechwarrior Katrine Kerensky's recent performance merited consideration, and so she battled two other candidates for the position of Star Captain.
Star Commander Shawn Vickers was eliminated in the first round, and retained his extant rank. His defeat to Katrine in the first round dampened his spirits as he felt it meant that he was unlikely to receive the one mech he truly desired in the pool being used to constitute the trinary, one of the newly built Warwolves.
Katrine and Mechwarrior Chrissy faced off, and the match ended in a tie. a fresh second round, with each pilot taking the other's mech for fairness ended with Katrine claming the rank of Star Captain. Chrissy instead moved into Katrine's old position working beside the Star Colonel.

Much to Shawn's suprise, Katrine let him keep the Warwolf. Though she could clearly make good use of the design, she prefers to remain in a Timber Wolf, since it is the mech she is most intimately familiar with.

Elements of the 1st TAC today engaged the Jade Falcons, meeting their mixed binary with a binary of mechs. Losing only one mechwarrior, they took a large amount of isorla, claiming almost the entire binary(minus what they shot off of it) and taking many of the Falcons bondsman. The logic being that if spheroid warriors are worthy of induction into the clan, then falcons, descended of the founders, are worthy of a chance at service.
-
The 23rd Falcon Hussars were shattered by the 15th Wolf Assault. Driving the falcons into a dead end near the remains of a star league era component factory, the Wolf Assault Cluster shattered the falcons, taking numerous mechs in salvage, falcons for bondsmen, and suffering only material losses themselves. Two of those falcons faced were Star Colonel Deborah Mattlov(Died in battle) and Star Commander Holly Hazen(now a wolf bondswoman), both ristar supporters of the chingis khan. Holly is adapting poorly to life amongst clan wolf.
Rescued from service amongst the Falcons, is Casta Wolf, a Lobo pilot. Originally a trueborn warrior of Clan Wolf, he was taken bondsman by Clan Jade Falcon, rose to return to service in his Lobo, and reclaimed today when Point Commander Tammy's Carnivore Assault Tank downed his Lobo. Relieved to be back among his kind, Casta is none-the-less eager to return to piloting, but will need to wait for an opening as his Lobo was not salvagable.
-
Sounds like a fun match. I take it the 23rd Hussars are a non-canon creation of yours? If so, I'd be interested in seeing the force listing for that fight, if you have it.
-
Yeah, I haven't put ... well, any effort into them, I just whipped up an opfor and decided they needed a name when I was posting here. I do have the MUL saved, so I can generate a more detailed force listing later. It was a 60 point cluster, mechs and vees. Assault Binary+ Assault Vee Star, Heavy Binary + Heavy Vee Star, Med/Light Binary + Med/Light Vee Star, Lyran Isorla Trinary (mixed weights).
18 pilots/crews taken bondsperson. 11 Dead. Nearly 50% losses for the Falcons. Highest remaining rank was a star captain.
-
Members of the 3rd Wolf Jaegers and 1st TAC engaged elements of the Jade Falcons in combat, catching the birds in their trap. Five Patron Militia Mechs and a half-strength star of tanks, supported by a star of unarmored infantry managed to blunt the advance of a better equipped, combined arms star.
After the battle, due to battle damage, the 3rd rearranged the security trinary into a binary. the surviving patrons were improved to meet the W3 spec, and reorganized. Their current configuration is as follows:

I was wondering if you were going to consider replacing the Clan Demolishers with Carnivores, Heimdalls or perhaps a few Shark Morrigu?
Also, have you thought about including their transport?
-
I have thought about including their transport, but Aerotech stuff is not my strongest suit. I started looking at it for a different unit and it just boggles the mind how anyone effectively moves anything around the inner sphere, with the stated capacities of ships. I'm definitely open to suggestion for transport/aerospace assets, from someone who knows the topic better.
the demolishers that see frontline battle are the more likely to see replacement with a Carnivore or something else like that, but the ones I've got guarding the artillery will probably stay in service unless we get an ArrowIV or LongTom version of the Carnivore. Shared parts, and logistics. Mostly they're there to give people a very good reason not to get too close to the ArrowIV battery.
Really liked how the Carnivore performed in the cluster scale battle I did against the falcons. It has worked its way into the short list of Vees I actually look forward to using.
-
Basically I was going to say look at the WCSB as the template for transport but add in the new flavors such as the Isegrim as a naval defense star. I would also say the TAC just get loaded on cargo dropships.
Give me a bit to ponder and I should have a list. Expect some IS hulls however.
-
Awesome!
See, I like the Isegrim, I just wasn't sure if it'd be appropriate. Didn't know if they tended to be integrated, or if they would be seperate. Much appreicated.
and yeah, I like the idea of the 1st TAC traveling as Cargo. :))
-
My read is they are the Wolf assault/PWS ships since warships are now for orbital decoration. Unless you are a Jade Falcon, then they are guided orbital-to-ground weapons.
-
I'm certainly not beyond attaching some to the force, if it wouldn't be seen as unreasonable :D they're one of the few aero units I've outright enjoyed using.
-
Can you add up your current transportation needs rather than me scrolling through each post?
Like 140 mechs, 40 vehicle points, 20 elemental points, 10 infantry stars, etc?
Also, I noticed a lot of Elemental suits . . . no Salamander? Volk? Bar?
-
I've got a fair number of Raches, to cover my "Clan Medium BA" needs. I'm a fan of the MG equipped BA.
Salamanders, I figured we probably haven't been making for awhile here. Seemed like we might have lost the capacity in the Jihad.
I'll tally up those figures.

I can definitely see parts of the unit, primarily vehicles and infantry, as well as the security forces in industrials/obsoletes, and the whole TAC, being moved as cargo. I can hammer out their weight if need be.
-
Probably, and yes it does seem short on ASF from the old typical structure.
So none cargo . . .
132 mechs
69 vehicles or vehicle points?
40 BA points
11 PBI points
and 5 ASF points . . . should be interesting
-
Thats 69 Vee points, not 69 individual vees. Everyone but the TAC is using 2 vees to a point, and the TAC, though I no longer remember why, has 2 halfstrength vee stars, fortunately, that adds up to one vee star for transport purposes.
-
Yeah, but since they are getting loaded on the cargo dropships (such as a Jumbo) then it does not matter as long as enough is allocated.
Still working on it, but I pulled some of Epsilon's jumpships and dropships from WCSB. I will also sort of factor in some extra infantry point space for more techs and medical staff for Trials.
Does your vision for Rho having the whole galaxy being able to be lifted at once like the units we saw in WCSB? or again, leave the TAC out of immediate JS collars? or something like only 50% of the drop collars needed are available?
-
Well, the TAC can be factored seperately, or given inferior transport assets. They're not an original or permanent fixture of Rho Galaxy. I kinda figured if they could be stuffed into a couple of mules or something, and carted along on a merchant or invader... *Shrugs*
-
Lol, I was sort of thinking of . . . 'left behind on planet when the rest of the galaxy redeploys.'
-
haha, I could see that too. They aren't bad as a defensive force.
-
Katrine Kerensky's star faced a Jade Falcon Assault star, three bondsmen are in the infirmary, and several machines are undergoing the attentions of the technicians. Their attempt to force their way past wolf defenses has been stymied. A Wolf Tomahawk II in falcon possession has made its way home. Katrine's star will have to lay low for awhile, due to the damage inflicted in the process. Mechwarrior Muchie in particular, will not be returning to the cockpit for some time.
-
the 15th Assault's Assault Vehicle star experienced partial failure of mission against a jade falcon nova today. The Carnivores and Aesirs of the star were unable to prevent the Falcon Battle Armor from setting fire to an entire communication post, but they did manage to destroy a Kit Fox, and several Elementals in Clan Battle Armor.
The loss of the communications post is a minor inconvenience, but it leaves a blind spot on approach to wolf territory in the area. further patrols will have to be run in this area. this partial victory over the wolf has emboldened the falcons and boosted their morale. Fortunately, though they destroyed the communications post, they did not manage to permanently disable any wolf vehicles, however, they will require some repairs.
-
Further battle between Ivy Conners' star, and the Falcons. Her wolves ran down a mixed unit, believed to be intended for headhunting. Star Captain Conners took the enemy Star Commander as bondsman, acknowledging her talent at ranged combat.
-
I've decided that the planet that Rho has been operating on is between Mizar and Alioth, and since both of them are characters(though that is not the only use of those names, from some cursory googling) in Roger Zelazny's "Donnerjack" that I shall name this non-canon planet "Deep Fields" after a location in that book.
And, with Deep Fields Secured against both the republic forces who held it, and the Falcons who attempted to wrest it from wolf hands, Rho will be moving on. Leaving behind both the 1st Technical Administrative Cluster, and an (understrength) ad-hoc garrison cluster of isorla and newly graduated bondsmen (still under the watchful eye of wolves). It is entirely possible that the 1st TAC will work with Rho again in the future, but without their own independant transport, it is better for them to hold Rho's gains.

Mechwarrior Profile
Josh Ward of Clan Wolf Commands the 15th Assault Cluster of Rho Galaxy. His life within Clan Wolf has been a fairly typical career for a warrior of his rank and stature. He has always shown great aptitude towards combat and the handling of mechs, but his rise was not the meteoric shot to the top of a bright burning Ristar. He was raised in a mixed bloodline sibko, and trained as many other Wolves were. His sibko class performed well and lost a slightly below average number of candidates to the usual attritions. He graduated his first Trial of Position as a Star Commander by defeating an Ice Ferret and a Blood Reaper, but failed to defeat the Tomahawk that was his third opponent. While his performance was nothing unusual, his honorable conduct in the Trial and after his defeat left those evaluating him favorably disposed to his preferences when they assigned him to duty. Both in his initial posting and in his Trial of Position, Josh was issued a Timber Wolf Omnimech with a long history, dating back to before the Clans of Kerensky returned to the Inner Sphere.
Josh did not spend long as a Star Commander, solid leadership and performance in battle saw him advance in rank, to Star Captain. His performance in a small but bloody campaign against the Hells Horses caught his commander's eye, and he was nominated for a chance at a bloodname. A bloodname he was nearly denied, when hand to hand combat against an elemental nearly eliminated him from the running. Sheer luck saved him in that penultimate round of the Bloodname Tournament, when the Elemental's sheer excitement at the prospect of winning triggered a previously unknown heart defect, causing the Elemental to pass out. With her no longer in any condition to compete, Josh entered the final round of competition and triumphed against a fellow mechwarrior in augmented combat.
Returning victorious to his position in the 15th, his Star Colonel continued to favor Josh, grooming him as a potential replacement one day. His day would come when engaged in hostilities against the Republic of the Sphere his mentor met his end at the hands of a Republic Yu Huang's LBX Autocannon. Present in the heated battle, Josh avenged the fallen Star Colonel and assumed temporary command of the operation, successfully driving the republic forces back and rallying his Wolves. Afterwards, Josh won once more in his Trial of Position and assumed command of the 15th in earnest. His dependable record did not go unnoticed by Khan Alaric Ward, and upon assuming command of the 15th, he was granted a Warwolf, one of the last to be produced in the old Wolf Occupation Zone. As such, Josh's Warwolf was produced with the same Series III OPT Targeting and Tracking, and Khan Series Communication electronics, and not the suites that have been installed to Warwolves built in the Empire.
Star Colonel Josh Ward is well liked by the warriors of the 15th Assault Cluster, though he shares a particular friendship with Star Captain Katrine Kerensky, who pilots his storied old Timber Wolf, and Star Captain Ivy Conners, who was granted her Wulfen at the same time Josh was gifted his Warwolf. The closest thing he has to an enemy within his cluster is Star Captain Martin Carns, who aspires to one day ascend to command of the cluster. His ambitions are held in check by three factors. First, he would have to defeat Josh or wait for Josh to ascend to higher rank. Second, Star Colonel Ward has the support of the armor and infantry aspects of the 15th Assault, while Star Captain Carns is of the opinion that the unit should be of a higher concentration of pure mech formations, and that vehicles only belong in second line units. Thirdly, Star Captain Katrine Kerensky has promised Star Captain Carns that if he deposes Star Colonel Ward by force, she will not wait very long before wresting control from him herself.

Worked out the Transport Assets for the 15th Assault Cluster, the largest of the Galaxy's forces:
Raw Numbers: 32Vees(16pts), 75ArmInf(15pts)44mech(44pts)
Transports:
Star Lord Jumpship "Sieze The Day" (6 DS, 4 Small Craft (2x Mk VII C) Cargo)
- Hercules Class Dropship "Radiant Eclipse" (16 Vee points, Technicians in Inf Compartment, Cargo)
- Seleucus Infantry Transport "Bat Country" (15 BA Points, Technicians, Cargo)
- Union C Class Dropship "Beast and The Harlot" (15 Mech (KK Trinary), Cargo)
- Union Class (3055) Dropship "Hail to the King" (9 Mech Points, Cargo, Flagship, 2 intg ASF)
- Union Class (3055) Dropship "Shepherd of Fire" (10 Mech Points, Cargo, 2 intg ASF)
- Union Class (3055) Dropship "Almost Easy" (10 Mech Points, Cargo, 2 intg ASF)
Invader (C) Class "Caroline" (3 DS, 2 Small Craft (1x MkVII C) Cargo)
- Mule Class Supply Tender "Wolf Mother" (Cargo)
- Isegrim Class Assault Dropship "Pyramid" (Defense. 2 Sm Craft Bays)
- Carrier Class "Witchcraft" (10 Intg ASF)
-
At only 65 Points, the 3rd Wolf Jaegers were easier to cart around. The two Assault Triumph dropships were won as Isorla from former Republic forces, and vastly simplify moving the 3rd around, allowing the Infantry assets to move with their movers. They also carry the transport defense fighters for the 3rd.
Invader (C) PPC "Gish" (3 Dropships, Cargo)
- Union (3055) "Zero" (10 Mechs, Cargo)
- Assault Triumph (3082) "Shattered Sphere" (10 mechs, 10 BA Points, 10 Vees, 6 intg ASF)
- Isegrim "Rhinoceros"
Invader (C) "Siamese Dream" (3 Dropships, Cargo)
- Union (C) "Doomsday Clock" (15 Mechs, Cargo)
- Assault Triumph (3082) "Gravel" (5 mechs, 10 BA Points, 10 Vees, 5 Inf Platoons as Cargo, 6 intg ASF)
- Mule "Tarantula" (Cargo)
-
The 5th Sentinels
Invader "Demonoid Phenomenon"
- Lion (WD Mod) "Superbeast" (Heavy Trinary, Cargo)
- Union (2708) "Dragula" (Light Trinary 2x Intg ASF)
- Mule (Cargo) "Spookshow Baby"
Invader "Demon Speeding"
- Lion (WD Mod) "Iron Head" (Assault Trinary, Cargo)
- Hercules "Devil's Rejects" (Vees, Sec Trinary as Cargo)
- Carrier "Lords of Salem" (10x Intg ASF)4
-
Thought I had put up my thoughts, have to find it . . . I was using some of the Invasion era ships when possible.
-
I could still be convinced to change it. I just figured you forgot and didn't wanna nag.
-
I'm surprised you don't use the Tramp-class instead of the Invader (C).
TT
-
I'm surprised you don't use the Tramp-class instead of the Invader (C).
TT
anything strange about my picks just highlights how little i know about the aero side. I am certainly open to suggestions as to why something would be more appropriate.
-
- Invader (C) depending on which varaint, 2x ER PPC or ERL, 524-8 cargo ( Adding 2 more for clantech weight to cargo for clan )
or
- Tramp (SL), also it can be upgraded to clantech weapons not just SL. 8x ERL, 12 AMS, 2851 cargo ( Clan version adds more AMS ammo and 8 more cargo )
Both carry 3 dropper nd 2x Smallcraft.
TT
-
Huh, I like the looks of the tramp, but I know nothing of availabilities... would one be more likely than the other?
-
The Tramp is 98,000 tons heavier than the Invader, carries the same droppers, better armed and slightly less armoured. But can carry internally more cargo. + side is the clans do use them w/ and w/o LF-battery. Born on date is mid-2754, so either pre-Exodus or post-invasion.
But yeah I'd go with the Tramp (C). Also if your clan wants to, they can produce both this and the Star Lord, as both share almost same parts.
Personally I'd look into a Comitatus to add to your fleet.
Say the Star Lord, multiple Tramps and a Comitatus.
TT
-
This is what I had after looking at the WCSB-
Rho Naval Defense Star
3 Isegrim
Merlin
Nagasawa
Jumpships
Comitatus (1 DS, 2 stars ASF, 5 SmallC, star of Elementals)
Hell's Bells Star Lord (6 DS, 2 Small C)
previously assigned Beta Galaxy, 3rd Battle Cluster
Endeavor Invader (3 DS, 2 SmallC)
Effort Invader
Worthy Invader
Pup Den Monolith (9 DS)
previously assigned Epsilon Galaxy
I think this covers all the DS needs and if you look at WCSB they have a LOT of Invaders.
-
did you have dropships picked out too Colt?
Now that I'm feeling better, I'm looking at this and it looks pretty good.
-
Some, still trying to make sure I have all your points loaded as well as tracing where they came from- not just plucking a old WCSB's transport but rather reassignments while integrating some Revival captured IS, raiding captured IS, Sea Fox purchase and Horse captures. I figure a Outpost has to show up somewhere if you are willing.
-
If you think its plausible, sure!

Current Status of CWF Rho Galaxy:

Elements of Rho Galaxy arrived on Solaris VII today, and were immediately tasked with engaging the Clan Sea Fox delegation who had come to trial for possession of one of the Solaris Arenas, and the rights to operate and broadcast all matches fought in that arena.
Star Commander Jonathan Demos' star fought on behalf of the Wolves, and it was a brutal match that left barely a machine from either side operational. Clan Wolf defended its hold on the arena, emerging victorious over the Sea Fox forces. However, it was not that Clan Wolf was not willing to make a deal. They were willing to do business, and grant the sea foxes an arena, but in return for favorable rates in purchasing equipment.

Additionally, Clan Sea Fox is granted provisional access to the other mech arenas on Solaris VII. Clan Sea Fox is granted the non-exclusive right to international distribution of fights conducted on Solaris VII, with a portion of profits to be returned to Clan Wolf for the upkeep of Solaris VII, and enhancement of the Wolf Touman. Additionally, Clan Wolf Rho Galaxy, as the victors of the trial, and Clan Wolf forces doing business with Clan Sea Fox on Solaris, are granted Preferred Trade Status with Clan Sea Fox.

Ah, very nice resolution to the "What's going on with Imperial Solaris" question that seems to be plaguing the boards these days.
-
only applicable to the Foxx/Restlessverse, but I liked my fight against Kitsune for Wolf Thread Naming Rights, so I made it part of my game.
-
it was a pretty epic finish. Enough so i didn't feel encouraged to pull shenanigans.
-
for which I'm glad, cause I dont know how we would have worked in "suddenly some bears show up on solaris"
-
Same way everybody reacts when bears show up, screaming, running,fires?
-
Yeah. With my inexperience with megamek I was mostly focused on not shaming myself to death. I'm very proud of my units showing.
-
You did good!
-
Hmm, I would not mind a 3065 Trial of Possession against a wandering Diamond Shark merchant group as my mercs . . . it would give you more MM play!
-
Mechwarrior Linda's attempt at earning a Kerensky bloodname fell short as she was defeated in the second round of combat. she triumphed over a Guillotine IIc, but her Blood Reaper fell to a Lobo in the caverns of Ishyama as she was caught attempting to cross a submerged section of the arena. Though she legged her opponent, he flooded her reactor and ended her ambitions of a bloodname. She has vowed to return and compete in the grand melee when the next opportunity arises.
Intramural exercises within the 15th have kept the rest of the cluster entertained while they await the return of the trinary who traveled to solaris, and their next posting. Star Colonel Ward's Star has been exceptionally successful in these games, falling only to the far heavier guns of Star Captain Martin Carns' star of assaults.

Star Captain Katrine Kerensky has triumphed in a trial against a fellow wolf warrior on solaris for project time, personnel and materials. This project is to have VEST personnel on Solaris construct a pair of Timber Wolf Omnimechs for Rho Galaxy to use, out of Salvaged 375XL engines they brought to solaris. Since taking solaris, the VEST engineers and technicians have been inducted to Clan Wolf as a special projects team, providing custom mech work for those who earn, win, or are granted the privilege. The Timber Wolf is a favorite of Rho Galaxy's 15th Assault Cluster, and two additional units will surely find a home in the galaxy. Katrine herself pilots a Timber Wolf that can be traced back to before operation Revival.
The Timber Wolves being constructed will incorporate modern electronics and systems, but will follow the classic Timber Wolf template in use since the homeworlds. From the Sea Foxes on planet, Rho Galaxy will be purchasing the electronics employed on the Timber Wolf's descendant, the Savage Wolf (themselves improved versions of the comm and targeting systems used on the original).
VEST Engineers estimate three weeks for the project to be completed from available stores. Katrine's trinary will just have to find some way to amuse themselves on the game world until that time.

Mechwarrior Profile
Star Captain Katrine Kerensky commands a Heavy Trinary within the 15th Assault Cluster. She is content at the rank of Star Captain and has little ambition to rise above that rank if she can avoid it. The way Katrine figures, Star Captain is the perfect balance of command and prestige, she leads a pure mech trinary of 14 other warriors, and is not burdened with excessive responsibility. She is in the perfect position to command respect AND engage the enemy. Her chief ambition is to enage the enemies of clan wolf in combat, and has no desire to be pulled into the undertow of politics that plague the higher ranks within the clan. This lack of leadership ambition is attributed to the rumored "weakening" of the Kerensky bloodline, though few will say this to Katrine's own face lest they face her in a Trial of Grievance.
Though her first trial of position qualified her for star command, her first posting was an unusual arrangement. Believing her to be too impulsive to be trusted with a command alone, she was attached as second in command of a trinary next to a warrior due to retire soon. It was hoped that his experience could be transferred to her, and that her impulsiveness would be tempered by the association. Frustrated at testing out thusly, but not being trusted with even a star to command, Katrine's anger worsened her impulsiveness, and nearly saw her designated dezgra and transferred to a less important post. Her anger issues with what she saw as unjust treatment saw her officially busted down to mechwarrior until the fires of combat against the Jade Falcons and Hells Horses tempered her, forging her into a less tempestuous warrior. She did her time, and completing the posting, was promoted to Rho Galaxy's 15th Assault Cluster, in Star Colonel Josh Ward's Star.
Josh Ward saw the remaining fire that lurked within her, and he fed it carefully, kindling her hunger for combat, and entrusting her with duties that surpassed what a mechwarrior, sometimes beyond what even a star captain would be trusted with. Eventually, the opportunity arose to grant her the trinary command she always sought, and her trial of position saw this dream realized. Katrine was allowed to build a heavy trinary for the 15th Assault. Offered a Warwolf as a reward for her performance and growth, Katrine was too fond of the Timber Wolf she piloted, itsself a gift from Star Colonel Ward, and with quite a history behind it. The Warwolf she passed on to the promising commander of her second star, Jonathan Demos.
Katrine's lack of ambition also influenced the acquisition of her bloodname. Unable to convince any of her bloodhouse to sponsor her for a name, she resorted to entry by way of the Grand Melee. Against all odds, or perhaps through the luck and skill she has always shown, Katrine survived the Grand Melee, the only mech able to limp away from the catastrophic frenzy. Most of her victories on the way to claiming her bloodname were non-fatal, though she seemed not to have a strong preference as long as she was victorious.
Star Captain Katrine Kerensky is proof that while the Kerensky Bloodline may have fallen from its prestigious heights, its individual warriors should not be underestimated.
-
a company strength force of unknown origin, painted in the colors last known to be used by Bannson's Raiders made an attack on Deep Fields. They proceeded to make a strike at a depot containing some of the galaxy's machines and munitions.
Unfortunately for these "Raiders" this depot was under inspection by Star Colonel Johan Kerensky of the 5th Wolf Sentinels and his trinary at the the time of attack.
A pitched battle ensued, and the raiders were repelled with over 60% of their force destroyed. Captured in the battle, heavily damaged, is an unusually large three legged mech. Clan Wolf Technicians estimate that this mech may have weighed as much as 135t. a new model of omnimech was also captured. The pilots, pulled from the wreckage of the ponderously slow behemoth have been turned over to the galaxy's Watch Liason for interrogation. It is likely that the new mechs obtained here will be of interest to the scientist caste for analysis.
Unfortunately just before the climax of the battle, an unlucky shot found Star Colonel Kerensky's Atlas in the head. The Autoeject system was unable to eject the star colonel in time, and he perished in the battle. Trials will be held to promote a replacement. Until such time as a replacement is appointed, the Galaxy Commander and his keshik have assumed leadership of the 5th Sentinels.

Nice write-up for Katrine Kerensky, I'm curious to see what happens with her.

for some reason, its always the female Kerenskys who perform the best for me. My CWX unit, their Jihad era ace was Sasha Kerensky, and she was a beast too. Both of them were Timber Wolf pilots as well. Katrine doesn't have much in the way of customs yet, but she really likes the platform. She's not even gonna take one of the new base chassis they won, she's hanging onto her classic.
-
You should do up bios for your Galaxy Commander and other Star Colonels, it'd give a good feel for the internal politics of the unit.

*nods* I've been intending to give most major figures a writeup. Just a matter of time and ideas :)

Mechwarrior Profile
Galaxy Commander Dustin Vickers has maintained his position in command of Rho Galaxy despite calls for a younger warrior to take his place (Star Colonel Josh Ward is often the first choice of those speaking up, though he is not among them). He has tenaciously maintained his edge, honing himself to the razor's edge so that none may call for his discharge on the grounds of weakness.
Galaxy Commander Vickers, did not rise to his position like a shooting star. Testing out as a simple mechwarrior, he showed more tenacity than natural aptitude and his determination earned him trial after trial, winning his way up each rung of the ladder. Such a dependable but unremarkable warrior was never destined for Khanship, and Dustin knew this, so he set his sights on the role of Galaxy Commander.
His Keshik is populated mostly with warriors in whom he saw some spark, some potential, but for one reason or another, would not have otherwise seen a proper posting. They are not the elite of the elite within this galaxy (such a moniker would probably be applied, instead, to Katrine Kerensky's trinary in the 15th Assault) but rather, wolves that the galaxy commander hated to see their potential wasted. Each of the Mechs beyond the galaxy commander's Warwolf, were taken as Isorla from other clans. Also attached to his Keshik is the 15th Assault's former Support Trinary, now organized as a galaxy-level asset. Comprised primarily of artillery vehicles, their presence in the 15th was more of an administrative placement than an actual fit with the galaxy.
Galaxy Commander Vickers is loyal to the Wolf Empire as a whole, and readily obeys the commands he receives but he was on good terms with the previous Khan, Seth Ward, and remains wary of Alaric and Anastasia, neither of whom have particularly impressed him. Anastasia Kerensky in particular is a bit of a sticking point with Galaxy Commander Vickers, citing her actions in transforming a portion of the Steel Wolves into the Wolf Hunter mercenaries, and the unclanlike actions entailed in that. Though he is unhappy about her role in the clan, he has taken no actions beyond criticizing her worthiness. His opinions of the new leadership are one of the few strong points of disagreement between Dustin and Josh Ward, who have been known to debate the matter during their free time.
-
Well written like the others; this one gives a better sense of Rho Galaxy's flavor overall, I feel like.
-
Yeah, I feel like it came out shorter than I'd intended. I may yet expound on him as more develops. So many of my characters grow through use (though, the galaxy commander has seen less use)
Personally, I'm even waiting to see who winds up in command of the 5th.

Personally, I'm even waiting to see who winds up in command of the 5th.
Are you planning to fight it out as a series of Trials between the Star Captains, or do you have something else in mind?
-
Yeah, something along those lines. I hadn't hammered out exactly how it was going to go down yet.
-
Rise of the Underdogs, or Every Wolf Has Their Day?
the 5th Sentinels could not continue going leaderless, so Trials of Position were held, tournament style, to replace the fallen leader. As the 5th Sentinels is the least well equipped Cluster in Rho Galaxy (an experiment in mixing equipment levels within the galaxy) response from other clusters was lukewarm. The one taker from outside the 5th Sentinels was Sohlama Brevet Star Captain Catarin of the 3rd Jaegers' Security Trinary.
From within the 5th Sentinels, Came Star Captain Ritter of Heavy Trinary, Star Captain Rob of the Armor Trinary, Star Captain Meltem of the Security Trinary, and Star Captain Yadigar of the Light Trinary.
In the first round, Star Captain Yadigar boasted that he did not need his wolfhound's full compliment of weapons to best Brevet Star Captain Catarin in her Urbanmech R60. He bid away two light ppcs, forcing techs to disable them before the fight, leaving him only a Snub-Nose PPC. In a fast but brutal trial, Catarin weathered the PPC fire, only to push her autocannon beyond safe limits and saw off the wolfhound's Right Arm, and with it, the snub-nose PPC. Unable to catch the urbanmech and pummel it, the trial was declared ended, Catarin its victor. She was declared a full Star Captain at this point, in no danger of being demoted once her temporary promotion was over
The second round of combat saw Star Captain Rob of the armor trinary, in his Demolisher against Star Captain Ritter's Rakshasa 1Ar. Seeing Yadigar's bravado lead to his downfall, Ritter declined to bid away anything from his arsenel. It was no matter, Rob's tank excelled in the confines of these rocky crevices where the trials were held, and the only thing that saved Star Captain Ritter from a grisly death beneath a hail of autocannon shells as they annhilated the cockpit block, was the sensitive head-breach ejector sensors. Star Captain Ritter remained a star captain.
Star Captain Rob then faced the infamous Star Captain Meltem, designated dezgra for conduct unbecoming a warrior on and off the field. Too Effective to condemn to the infantry, Meltem had been assigned an ancient mackie, and given command of equally primitive mechs, meant to defend backfield assets like command posts and artillery bases. the Keshik was nervous about the prospect that Meltem could win. All that stood between him and the position were a Demolisher and an Urbanmech. Even an old mackie ought to be able to overcome those. The trial began, and it did not take Rob and Meltem long to find one another. Meltem took spiteful glee in picking apart the demolisher tank. He ran his heat up, but disregarded the mackie's complaints, punishing this impudent tank who dared dispute his claim to leadership. But, Rob would not quit. He baited Meltem forward then drove him back, and punctured the aging mech's autocannon bin, setting it off. Meltem's own barrage ravaged the tank, leaving it only marginally functional, but he was defeated. Rob was the victor once again.
With the tank crew injured, it was ruled that Rob's final round against Catarin would be conducted hand to hand. Some felt this was not sporting, as Catarin was growing old and it was argued, more fragile, and Rob was freshly bandaged from his fight with Meltem. Both silenced their critics, claiming they would demonstrate that they still possessed the spirit of the Wolf, and would not shy from this fight.
Catarin came out of the gate strong, driving Rob back until he nearly toppled from the circle of equals, but snarling, he threw Catarin across the ring and pounced upon her. Trading blows, They grappled and swung at one another until finally, Rob's fatigue betrayed him, and Catarin knocked him unconcious.
Star Colonel Catarin thanked her Urbanmech for bringing her this far, and commended her opponents on how hard they fought for the position. As commander of the 5th, she was due a grander ride, an Atlas III wrested from the hands of the republic, that had served its previous commander. Though Rob was not victorious, his tenacity and his victory over Meltem did not go unnoticed, and the Galaxy Commander made a note to give his trinary some much-needed attention.

that was -alot- of fun. The older tech had some surprising tricks for these guys to pull out of their sleeves.I'm glad they finally got some attention for upgrades. Go wunderwulfen!

Today CWF Rho Galaxy's 5th Sentinels took the opportunity to face off against a star from the Deep Fields Provisional Garrison Cluster in a friendly exercise. Star Colonel Catarin took her own star up against Star Captain Holly Hazen's star, and emerged victorious. The mock battle allowed both forces to get in some practice and keep their skills sharp.

Mechwarrior Profile
Star Colonel Catarin Wolf had thought her career over. Well past her prime, and really only in the cockpit of a mech because the clan's need exceeded its distaste for relying on older warriors. Still, she was proud of the ragtag band she was charged with leading. Being a Star Commander was more than enough for her. Yet, when the call went out for a trial to replace the 5th Sentinels' fallen Star Colonel she could not deny some urge inside of herself. She laughed at the odds she faced, surely an urbanmech like hers stood no chance against these foes. The outcome shocked even Catarin. Suddenly she had an entire cluster at her command. Suddenly, she had an Atlas. The Great Father had piloted an Atlas, though not one that looked or fought quite like this.
Catarin looked to the exploits of older warriors within the peoples of the inner sphere. Spheroid warriors quite often proved useful into their later years, and she would be damned if she let any aging spheroids show her up without a fight. She would do her cluster, no, her galaxy, no, Her Clan proud. Though the warriors of the 5th sentinels were not well equipped in the way the 15th Assault was, nor were they the elite of the galaxy either, Catarin was determined to see them fulfill their mission. Each cluster in the galaxy had its place, had its role, and would make the best use of the troops available to them. Catarin would see to it that the 5th lived up to its duties, and maybe the fires of battle would temper her warriors, burn away the impurities and the fat, and leave them stronger. If the clan saw what she could do directing these warriors, in these machines, maybe, just maybe, the 5th might see a higher priority in the future.

1) These unit pics are a super-cool idea. Mind if I steal the idea and do the same thing with some of my units?
2) Out of curiosity, what Bloodname would Catarin be eligible for, if she were ever to compete for one?

(2) I'm checking my logs, I can't recall if we decided on a bloodhouse for her or not. It looks like we were talking about making her a Sender.

What had been supposed to be a trial between Star Colonel Seraphine Clarke, and Star Colonel Josh Ward, accompanied by their stars was interrupted by an unknown force. This force appeared to have visited some manner of word of blake fire sale, for it was composed of two six-machine units, a mech Level II employing C3i and a vehicle level three that appeared to be the product of the mercenary surplus market. Attempts to contact their respective clusters were thwarted by a bizzare sort of ECM. Several effects that had initially been ascribed to natural factors were revealed to be novel electronic countermeasures as the battle went on. Several times, mechs appeared to possess the wrong IFF codes, leading to some confusion and improperly targeted shots.
Foxes and Wolves alike abandoned the trial to turn and eviscerate the intruders. Only one mech, a crab, was able to escape. During the battle, one of the wolf vehicle crews met their demise, and the other was injured. both tanks were disabled/destroyed. Attempts were made to capture enemy pilots, but the mechs that were incapacitated proceeded to self-destruct, denying the clans both salvage and captives. One mech, a Guilotine decapitated on the first exchange of fire, was retrieved otherwise intact, and a Gargoyle Prime, Timber Wolf D Variant and several sea fox mechs proceeded to stun the last remaining tank crew, leaving a dazed and disoriented group of prisoners inside an inert tank.
When all enemy units were finally disabled, radio contact was reestablished with the 15th, and St Cpt Ivy Conners arrived post-haste with her star and their elemental partners. The site secured by their rapid response, salvage and custody could be obtained. Review of guncam footage and computers revealed the aforementioned novel ECM effects, on both sides of the trial. The two most popular theories for why the trial was intruded upon ranged from "the trial came too close to something they did not want found" to "the trial is some manner of systems test for this novel ECM system" but answers are not forthcoming, and no unusual electronics were located on the mechs involved in the battle. Led by Star Captain Ivy Conners, scouting elements of the 15th are sweeping the area for suspicious contacts and clues.

Katrine Kerensky and Jonathan Demos led their stars against a company of mercenaries, Grayton's Guardians, hailing from the Federated Suns. Disappointed at finding them, instead of the former wolves they had been hoping to locate and battle, they tore into the Guardians. Battle damage and losses were higher than anticipated, and when Katrine's Timber Wolf went down, the ready responders (Mechwarrior Nolan in his Phantom, Mechwarrior Mae in Ivy's Wulfen, and two points of elementals.) Though nicely equipped, the Guardians fell to the wolves. The first to go was a shiny and new looking Centurion Omni that appeared to be a lanceleader's ride. Next to go was the unit's overall commander in her Atlas III. By the time reinforcements arrived, combat loss grouping was beginning to take its toll, and the guardians were attempting to withdraw.
Escaping to fight another day were an Enforcer III, Gurteltier C3M, Gurteltier MBT, AC/2 Carrier, and Valkyrie QD1. Salvaged from the field are the Centurion Omni, the Atlas III, a manteuffel attack tank c, Victor 11D, Hollander III D1, and a sagittaire 14D, most of which were in need of significant repairs. Also retrieved was the Accurate Kingston DDS Clan Extended Range Particle Projection Cannon from the destroyed Black Knight. Interrogated prisoners revealed little of value, they were just someone's pawns.

Star Commander Charlotte Seles faced a star of ambitious mercenaries equipped with machines from Clan Ghost Bear's portfolio. At the onset, the forces appeared to be rather closely matched, but fortune favored the mercenaries and their inexorable advance crushed Charlotte's star to the last mech. This crushing defeat leaves the 15th Assault 5 mechs smaller, and leaves the 5 pilots, their fates unknown, in enemy hands. Worse, their foes suffered only superficial damage, save for the reactor of a Vulture III that suffered some damage. Still, it is expected that this "Karbala Klan Killers" unit presents further threat to the wolf position, and it is expected that their forces will be seen again soon.

In a series of encounters that do not deserve to be classified as Trials, portions of Rho Galaxy came into conflict with a mercenary unit calling themselves Dragoons Wolves(Lawsuit Pending.). Seemingly one of the masterminds of this unusual taskforce, Josh Ward agreed to meet the head of this unit in a fair trial, but left himself some units in reserve, as these WERE mercenaries, and treachery would hardly be surprising for one who would profane holy combat with monetary concerns. To absolutely no one's surprise, but to the distaste of all of those in the 15th Assault Dragoon's Wolves did not fight fair. The first rumbles of this actually came when a large portion of Dragoon's Wolves fell upon the two stars Josh held in reserve from his own Trinary. The warriors of Josh's Trinary shattered the force that came to break them, but were in no condition to reinforce Josh when he needed it.
Star Captain Katrine Kerensky responded to the emerging situation and took both her star and her subordinate Jonathan Demos' star to Reinforce Josh Ward. On their way, they encountered additional forces from Dragoon's Wolves, and smashed them with all the brutality they could muster. Down only by a single mech (which will soon be operational once again) Katrine charged for the battle where Josh faced twice the original bid. Facing him were both the units commanded by "Russel Dragoon" and the Infamous Dmitri Kerensky, who betrayed Clan Wolf when it was revealed that he cheated to obtain his bloodname.
When the battle was joined, Star Commander Clarence Kerensky, temporarily rounding out Josh's Star, requested to engage Dmitri and clean the stain from the house of Kerenskys. Sadly, Clarence was unable to do so, as Dmitri's people focused their wrath upon his linebacker and felled it. Shortly thereafter, Omar's Timber Wolf was brought down and Josh's unit was driven back. As Dmitri taunted Josh, Katrine's force arrived on scene and fell upon the Dezgra mercenaries. To her satisfaction, she was able to down Dmitri herself. Soon, the mercenaries were on the ropes and only the timely arrival of forces from the Karbala Klan Killers allowed three of their foes to escape with their lives. In the final exchange of fire, Josh Ward's Warwolf was shattered by fire from Russel Dragoon's Mangonel, a gauss slug crushing his center torso. The Traumatic Damage triggering his autoeject system, Josh flew clear of his disintegrating Mech just in time as a Medium Laser gouged a hole into the cockpit he had occupied only moments prior.
For his bravery in standing his ground in the face of such an assault, Josh decided to make Russel his bondsman despite everything else. When Katrine later demanded to know what he was thinking, bonding someone who had lied like that, Josh laid out his reasoning which mostly centered around Russel showing true potential in that last moment, and that his desire to be a wolf could be used to their advantage. Should Russel prove worthy, Josh intends to see him transferred to the Deep Fields cluster they recently gave birth to, to bolster Wolf-oriented sentiment within the cluster (which has a rather large falcon composition)

Mechwarrior Profile
Star Commander Jonathan Demos is a fast-rising star within Rho Galaxy. Jonathan shows exceptional skill in combat, nearly entirely unfazed by range between him and his prey. Despite his skills, Jonathan has been intentionally slow to rise within the ranks of the Wolf. Guided by higher ranking Wolves like his commander Star Captain Katrine Kerensky, and their commander Star Colonel Josh Ward, Jonathan has not sought higher levels of command, in order to stay clear of the politics that a leader must inevitably deal with. Remaining at the Star Command level in one of the best equipped trinaries in their Galaxy, Jonathan Demos focuses purely on the glory of combat. Within the Galaxy he commands more respect than a Star Commander usually would, carrying the same requisition priority as his Star Captain does. Star Colonel Ward and Star Captain Kerensky take good care of Jon and his star, and in return they command fierce loyalty from him.
Jonathan pilots a Warwolf gifted to him by Katrine Kerensky who prefers to pilot a Timber Wolf. Like Josh, he prefers the Alpha configuration, but his own personal warwolf has acquired a Kingston DDS model Clan Extended Range PPC, salvaged from a Black Knight and modularized. This Particle Cannon is noted for its accuracy, and with Jonathan's skills at long ranged combat, it makes him extra deadly.
Jonathan knows that if he takes care of his pack, his pack will take care of him. The sense of family this engenders is almost reminiscent of Clan Ghost Bear. Jonathan is not fond of Star Captain Martin Carns who holds him in low esteem due to his lack of ambition. Carns is blinded by ambition and does not understand why a warrior would pass up a chance at higher ranks. Nor does he think terribly highly of Khan Alaric Wolf nor saKhan Anastasia Kerensky. He will follow the clan's leaders, but he does not have to like them. This is one of the few points on which he can agree with their Galaxy Commander.

Star Commander Jonathan Demos lead the counterattack to dispatch the Karbala Klan Killers and recover their captured allies. His star faced the K^3 star near their base of operations. With nowhere to run, the Killers fought fiercely and the pitched battle took its toll on the Wolf star, with heavy damage to two of the five mechs, and near complete destruction of a Mad Cat III 2. the Star Commander and Nail's Warwolves were far less damaged than their companions in the thick of the fight.
the K^3 were destroyed, no quarter offered, each mech in the mercenary star hunted until it was brought down. Then, wolf transports and infantry were called in to secure the K^3 base. Star Commander Charlotte Seles, Mechwarrior Siaki, Mechwarrior Linda, Mechwarrior Nilsa, and Mechwarrior Bisrat were all recovered. Their mechs were recovered as well, but parts had been scavenged from them and it would be some time before these mechs would be operational once more.

The Cobalt Keshik remains a flexible leadership and combat asset at the head of Rho Galaxy. Home to a star of (most of Rho's independant) Aerospace Assets, a star of elementals, and a star of mechs, Galaxy Commander Vickers directs the entire galaxy from this Keshik. Most commonly, the keshik's units are seen operating in concert with other elements of the galaxy, but they have trained to operate as a cohesive unit as well.

Administratively this unit is attached to the Keshik to make room in the 15th Assault. This unit provides direct and indirect fire support for the Galaxy. With integrated spotting units, it can direct its own fire, or it can be attached to other units within the galaxy. Not a glamorous posting, but an increasingly necessary facet of battle, especially when Rho deploys for large-scale engagements.

Star Colonel Josh Ward's Trinary is set up to command from the front lines. With his own Heavy Omnimech star, a Heavy Battlemech star, and a Tank Star, they are well equipped to lead their cluster from the heat of battle. Currently, Josh is piloting a salvaged Savage Wolf Omnimech, replacing the Warwolf he lost in recent combat. He has configured the Savage Wolf to resemble the Warwolf Alpha config, but he still does not feel at home in the mech. Temporarily rounding out his star is Casta Wolf, a mechwarrior born of the wolf clan, captured by Clan Jade Falcon, and recovered by Rho Galaxy. Though Casta prefers to pilot a Lobo, there have been none available since his recovery. He is making do nicely in a Grand Summoner. He yearns for a chance to lead his own trinary once again, and will likely be transferred out of the 15th, to another unit where he can do so as time goes on. For now, he assists the star colonel and his forces.
Star Commander Jeff Sradac's star is a solid one, but despite the performance of the Sun Cobra battlemechs on his team, he does wish that he could procure heavier mechs for his Star. Born an Elemental, Jeff makes almost a comical sight, crammed into the cockpit of his mech, but the technicians have enlarged it as much as they can for him. His star may take a good deal of damage, but they are tough, and their mechs easy to repair. Though lacking the flexibility that Omnimechs would provide, the star is still quite versatile and potent.
After combat took the life of Star Commander Dae, command of the Tank Star transferred temporarily to Point Commander Radvan. His position as Star Commander is temporary until a proper trial can be held, and confidence in his leadership is low amongst his starmates. Unit cohesion is lacking, but a better candidate has not presented themselves. If the star deploys without another member of Rho Galaxy of Star Commander rank or higher, the enemy commander receives a temporary 1 point of Command Initiative.

Ivy's unit organization is admittedly eclectic. Her unit serves to fulfill the 15th's infantry and mobility needs, and is home to the 15th Assault's only Wulfen. She is intent on obtaining additional Wulfens, Phantoms or Dasher IIs to replace the Ice Ferrets in her star, which she feels can only barely keep up with her Wulfen. Much of the direct battle duty in this unit falls on St Cmd Clarence Kerensky's star, which is better suited to the role than the other units in the trinary.
The Maxims excel as much as mobile ECM Outposts and Specialty LRM Delivery systems as much as they do as infantry transports. Without their transports, the armored infantry would have a good deal of difficulty getting around, but together the heavy battle armor of the unit and their support vehicles have executed some excellent ambushes, particularly upon the Jade Falcons.

Katrine Kerensky's Star is a sight that harkens back to the invasion era. an effective combination of mechs, their age does nothing to diminish their usefulness. One of the most fearsome units in the 15th, Katrine and her warriors are often called upon to deal with their most troublesome foes.
Star Commander Demos' Nail's star seems to have a constantly shifting composition due to attrition and salvage. His Warwolf has remained a constant for the unit, but everything else is subject to change. Current Composition is displayed, but the Savage Wolf has seen significant damage and the technical team is currently weighing their options, whether to repair or replace the damaged XXL engine, or to replace it with a spare 375XL, rearmor in FerroF, and reclassify the mech as a funny looking timberwolf.
Newly attached to the Trinary, is the 15th Assault's first independent Aerospace Star. Organized for multirole work, the star IS tailored towards bombing runs on the part of the Scytha Point and Eisensturm point, multi-purpose assignments including escorting the bombers for the Jagatai and Ammon XR Points, and Interception/AntiInterceptor work for the Sulla Point. Prior to this, the only Aerospace Forces the 15th had to call upon, was the integrated aerospace units of it's transports and you do not want to see how irate your dropship captains become when you are constantly poaching their only dedicated protection.

Composed of two Omnimech Stars and a Vehicle star, Carns'Demos' Assault Trinary is the heaviest unit in Rho. Never content, Star Captain Carns is on the look out for chances to replace the Aesir AA vehicles in his unit with Huizipochtli AAA Tanks, Carnivore HAG tanks, or something equally heavy. He also pines for a third mech star to replace the vehicles entirely, but knows that the unit's focus prevents that from occurring. His ambitions go beyond increasing the already substaintial weight of his force, to one day leading the galaxy or dare he dream it, the clan itsself? Star Captain Demos' ambitions have surprised everyone, and exactly how he will reshape the trinary, or leave it be, is yet to be revealed.
The 15th Assault's Unit Ability is "Rapid Deployment." Any unit from the 15th Assault may begin a scenario within their walk or jump distance from the edge of the map. Units must actually 'spend' that MP as if moving in from the edge of the map (i.e. woods and rough terrain cost mp) Not much of a bonus for Martin's Tomahawk II, but quite helpful for Ivy's Wulfen.

3rd Wolf Jaegers:
Though not as high profile as the 15th Assault, the 3rd Jaegers are slated for both offensive and defensive operations. They are equipped with an eclectic mix of Omni and Battlemechs, Vehicles, and Armored Infantry. They employ both Inner Sphere and Clan Technologies, and will use just about any equipment they can obtain.

The Command Binary has recently been expanded by a transfer of a star of mechs from the 15th Assault. However, these new transfers are in rough shape and will require some time to recuperate, and for their mechs to be repaired. It is hoped that their new home within the 3rd Jaegers will give them the opportunity to get back on their feet and hone their skills in a less high pressure environment. This transfer makes Star Colonel Sender's unit the only trinary in the Jaegers.

Composed both of Clan Wolf born warriors, and wolves who returned to the fold from the exiles, the medium binary favors a balance of mobility and firepower. These Abhtaka from the exiles have integrated well with their unit, and few have questioned their loyalty. They have grown close with their fellow wolves, and are definitely seen as a part of the pack.

Consisting of both infantry (armored and not) and transport assets, the Mixed Arms Group is often tapped to secure sites, or attached to other units to bolster them. Rarely do they operate purely on their own. While technically overseen by Star Captain Lenz, these stars are highly independent and are known to take the initiative themselves.

Not the most impressive of units, the security binary is useful for dealing with nonstandard threats such as civilian revolt, and defending artillery, supply, or administrative assets. This frees up more dedicated combat forces to deal with threats better suited to them. They are also useful for battlefield cleanup, securing and capturing enemy pilots and downed machines, dragging salvage from the field, or finishing off wounded enemy machines when working in concert with their fellow wolves in the cluster. With the state of the Wolf Empire, no willing warrior can be wasted, no machine spared, and these warriors embody that war to the hilt spirit.

5th Wolf Sentinels:
A Second Line cluster, their role within Rho is to defend the gains made by the 15th and the 3rd and support them in combined operations. With other clusters prioritized for requisitions and salvage, nearly everything in the cluster is of Spheroid origin. Still, they make their mechs work for them, and have trained for flexiblity, able to operate both along traditional clan lines of honor and to also utilize more spheroid tactics.

the 5th's command trinary is led by an interesting figure. Star Colonel Catarin's ascention took place amidst a series of Trials that were something of a circus. She herself piloted an urbanmech, and was not favored to win. Her boldness was admired, and it was assumed to be the last glorious acts of a Sohlama seeking glory. Well, glory she found, rising above all other comers and attaining command of the entire trinary. Her Atlas III, isorla from the Republic, is one of the few sources of Clan Technology in the cluster.
The Command Star's Atlases are a tribute to the Great Father and the Atlas II he piloted.

the heavy trinary are the workhorses of the cluster, mobile enough to get where they are needed, but strong enough to hold a site. they will often be assigned an area of operations where their trinary can respond to threats in several nearby locations. They worked hard to obtain mechs that were in some ways analogous to clan designs, or important to the wolves. The Raksahasa and Marauder are both reminiscent of the Timber Wolf, the Anzu similar in small ways to the Summoner, the Warhammer a distant cousin to the Hellbringer. It is their fervent hope that they could some day obtain better mechs than these, or improve the ones they own with clan technology.

The Light Trinary has a difficult job. They are not terribly well equipped, and their defensive role is an awkward job for a light pilot. They often must make efficient use of their environment, as well as coordination with artillery and air assets. When the 5th is on the offensive, they are more at home, making use of their speed for scouting tasks.

Providing self-defending Integrated Artillery support, the support trinary is home to a point of Carnivores. Star Captain Rob distinguished himself in the trials to replace the 5th's deceased star colonel. He rapidly became a favorite to win command of the cluster at the helm of an ancient Demolisher. Though he did not win command, he did catch the eye of others within the clan, and his bravado and skill were rewarded with Carnivores for his point. His ambition is to earn star or trinary of his own, oriented towards vehicular combat, and to turn over the artillery role to another. For now, they do their duty.

This trinary serves a similar purpose to that of the 3rd's security trinary, and frequently they are posted together. a rather dismal posting, it is only seen as acceptable when compared to filling and emptying newborn sibbies, or laboring in some manner of waste removal role.

The operation to recover Charlotte Seles' star from the clutches of the Kabala Klan Killers turned out to be little more than bait for their true mission. A full heavy trinary's worth of K^3 mechs bore down upon the site as an ad-hoc trinary of wolves attempted to secure the location. An absolutely brutal battle ensued, the Karbala Klan Killers fighting like absolute demons, knowing that the Wolves would afford them no mercy. A brutal toll was extracted, and less than a star of wolf mechs was left at the end of the fight. Fortunately for the wolves, fate was kind and not a single pilot was killed, though two adders and a gargoyle, mechs that the Wolves have no real means of replacing in kind, were lost.
Notable incidents in this brutal, pitched battle include the complete obliteration of the enemy commander's Jade Hawk, an enemy operated Savage Wolf (serial numbers indicate it is a model that was sold to republic remnants forces, and somehow ended up in K3 hands) that fought longer than any of the warriors onsite had ever seen a Savage Wolf last, despite its gored open center torso armor, and a Ryoken II that survived long enough on the field to run its missile bins dry and go on a berserker spree.
The 15th Assault is in need of rest and repair, and will be returning to Deep Fields by way of Solaris. They have a good deal of repair and rebuilding to do, in order to return to the level of readiness they are ordered to maintain. Though the material cost was steep, it is something the wolves anticipate being able to recover from. The fires of battle have further tempered the warriors of the 15th, and valuable experience has been gained.
Reports from the tank crews operating adjacent to him, and from his starmate Nail, indicate that during this battle, Star Commander Jonathan Demos entered some sort of battle trance. His Warwolf moved with unusual grace as it sniped down at the melee below. When Katrine was forced to abandon her Timber Wolf, he assumed command of the overall operation and recordings indicate an unusual degree of calm in his voice. He stood resolute, dispensing unerring fire upon his foes, even as light assets from the Karbala Klan Killers attempted to disrupt his support of the unit. When the fight ended, he was once again his usual Mischevious self once again. Neither the Star Commander, nor CWF Medical Personnel could not explain the unusual behavior.

"Star Captain Katrine Kerensky!" bellowed Martin Carns "Am I misinformed, or did you flee from battle like a whipped dog?"
Katrine glared cooly at the enraged Carns, not bothering to respond as she sized up the bellowing oaf.
"Nothing to say for your self? The Kerensky line is tainted by failure, and you are a prime example! The Time Has Come, I" Martin continued to bellow until he was suddenly interrupted by an unexpected slap on the back
"Star Captain Carns! So good of you to come and congratulate us on our victory!" Jonathan Demos announced cheerfully "It is good to have our captured kin back, is it not?"
"You are interrupting" Martin spat out through grinding teeth "I do not have time for your shenangians"
"No, That is EXACTLY what you have time for. You were about to pick on one of our own while wounded? Neg, you bloodfoul, I challenge you to a Trial for your rank and trinary" Jonathan punctuated his challenge with a slap across Martin's smug face with a leather glove. Katrine idly wondered where he had come by the glove.
"You, Challenging me? Seyla. I will crush you, and then I will come for her"
***
"He has twenty five tons on you, and he has been known to make good use of it." Star Colonel Josh Ward warned Jonathan.
Jonathan merely smiled and shook his head "It would only weigh me down. I know what I am doing."
"I am just saying, we have a Tomahawk II in the Wolf Mother. It is unassigned, you could make use of it."
"We do not want anyone to say that I prevailed because of favoritism. It is no secret that Carns wants your job as well"
"You are unusually insightful today, Jonathan. Did something happen on the battlefield?"
"Just watch." Jonathan told Josh, ducking into the Warwolf's cockpit.
***
Jonathan's Warwolf advanced boldly upon the open terrain chosen for the trial. As he closed the vast distance between Martin's Tomahawk II and his own position, he opened fire on a stand of trees, clearing them from the hilltop.
"I am over here, you blind laborer. You fight like landscaping crew, surat" came the taunting voice of Carns over the communication system "You are in over your head, Demos. First I will deal with you, and then Katrine will get what is coming to her. Then, who knows? the sky is the limit once those obstacles are out of my way."
Jonathan continued to advance, and in moments, he had Martin in range "Your convictions are weak and the spirit of the wolf left you long ago, i'm just here to pick up the trash."
Though his speech showed him to be the cooler head, his weapons fire was not lacking for fury. As Carns fired, futilely into the trees that obstructed his lane of fire, Jonathan's Kingston DDS Extended Range Particle Cannon scored armor from the Tomahawk II's Right Torso, earning him first blood before Carns could even land a shot.
Furious, the Star Captain of the Assault Trinary lumbered his mech through the trees and opened fire with both of his fearsome Hyper Assault Gauss Rifles, following them up with blasts from his Extended Range Large Lasers. a pellet of nickel-uranium slugs from his first Hyper Assault Gauss pelted Jonathan in the right leg and left toso. Only one of the lasers found its mark, scoring armor off the Warwolf's left arm. Jonathan's riposte was to carve nearly a ton of armor from the Tomahawk II's left thigh with his own extended range laser.
"Surat, your arrogance will be your undoing. You cannot argue with the might of metal, and I will be sending plenty of it your way" Growled Carns over the comm as he strove forward, logy with heat.
Jonathan replied with his guns, flensing half a ton of armor from the Tomahawk II's left arm with his Particle Cannon, striking the center torso his extended range large laser, and adding insult to those injuries by spraying the center and left torsos with a barrage of ten streak long range missiles. The strikes to his center mass were too much to bear, and Martin's Tomahawk II tumbled over like a drunken tortoise, crushing an arm and a leg against the ground. Inside the sweltering cockpit, Star Captain Carns was furious as he was tossed around like a ragdoll, his growls cut short as his helmet fractured against the back of his command chair.
Jonathan taunted Carns over the communications "Feel the gravity of your failures pulling you down Martin? Down is the only direction you have left to go."
Spitting out a tooth, Martin growled back at him as he pulled the Tomahawk II to a standing postion and resumed his advance. But Jonathan was no fool, he knew the Tomahawk II was stronger in close range, and he calmly backed away, showing that he was the one who would dictate the range of this engagement. A hailstorm of rage, metal and coherent light battered the world around Jonathan, but not a single shot found its mark. Meanwhile Jonathan took careful aim and placed a careful shot from the Particle Cannon into the Tomahawk II's left torso. Another such strike there would go through the mech's armor and into its guts.
Sounding worse for the wear, Martin could not just fight the urge to continue their conversation as he strove to close with Jonathan. "You think you are winning because you take armor, quiaff? Well, I have armor. Plenty of it! And soon, I will have your head."
"Aff, Martin, is it true that they serve green tea for free after every meal in the combine?"
"The Combine? What in the names of the founders do they have to do with anything?!"
"Figure you'll have a lot to talk about with them in hell" Jonathan Smirked "I hear you like it hot, That's fortunate for you.
Martin's rage was getting the better of him. it was damn hot in his mech, and he could barely touch the arrogant worm's Warwolf. He managed to pepper it with less than half a barrage of Gauss shot, but for his trouble, he took a PPC and a Laser to his arm and center mass. He would not lose to a savashri surat like Demos! But as he swept after the lighter mech with a continued burst from both Gausses, the freebirth's laser and particle cannon opened up his center torso! His heat spiked again, and Carns knew that his reactor had been grazed by that last shot with the laser. Making it worse, his opponent's hated voice came through the com again
"...You won't even make it in the rememberance. Rest easy knowing I will"
Martin Replied with an angry bellow "I'll bury you in a shallow grave, you laborer grade failure!"
Jonathan replied by savaging Martin's gyro with manmade lightning, the azure hell arcing off the gyro housing and popping one of the Tomahawk II's heatsinks, triggering the release of a bile green burst of fog. To add literal insult to the mech's injuries, he opened the com once more
"... Your mother was a dark caste whore who subsited on surat meat. You were only created because a scientist self-copulated into an empty iron womb and like a virus you took over your host"
In his rage, Martin opened up with every gun he had, scouring the air with every ounce of hell the Tomahawk II could dispense, but his foe was more agile, more cunning, and the few shots that found him were not enough to down him. He pounded the Tomahawk II in return, His missiles battering the Tomahawk II about the head and torso, his particle cannon and pulse laser winnowing the beefy left arm to a withered limb, his other lasers further wounding the Tomahawk II's engine shielding. Unable to stay on his feet, Carns fell again and stove in a secondary monitor with his neurohelmet. His world went blank, just like the defunct screen. Had the monitor remained active, and had Star Captain Carns been conscious to read it, the loss of his life support system might have worried him.
The battle did not last long enough for it to matter. Before it could register that his foe was unconscious, Jonathan went for the throat His Warwolf opened the Tomahawk II up, with everything it had, gutting the engine, destroying a hyper assault gauss, and leaving the Tomahawk II as a pile of twisted metal for the Technicians to turn back into an Omnimech.
"Congratulations to Star Captain Jonathan Demos on his new rank." came the voice of Star Colonel Josh Ward "This trial is concluded."
-
Star Captain Demos' unexpected rise to command of the assault trinary has surprised everyone. No one suspected that he would ever aspire to a rank that could potentially diminish the amount of combat he sees, but what he did, he says he did for the good of the pack, and it has removed a divisive element from the 15th Assault.
With the rough shape that the 15th is in after its recent battles, they will be going offline to reorganize, train, and reshuffle. Exact plans are unknown, but there are talks of Demos trading his Warwolf to Josh Ward (thus getting him out of the Savage Wolf in which he feels less than comfortable) in return for a good deal of leeway in reorganizing his trinary. Rumor has it that Jonathan has his eyes on the Dire Wolf, to replace his Warwolf. Though the wolves are not producing the Dire Wolf any longer, rumor has it that the mechaDynamics versaLine(tm) is capable of bespoke production of such a mech, and with their new facilities going up on solaris, they may have a source for this classic design.
Martin Carns has been transferred to star command in Rho's sister galaxy, Ya Galaxy, in the Deep Fields Garrison Cluster. Though they will be on the same planet, the 15th Assault no longer has to worry about his ambitions.
With these changes in leadership, the 15th Assault's cohesiveness as a unit, and unity amongst command elements has gone up considerably. Josh Ward, Katrine Kerensky, Jonathan Demos, Ivy Conners, and Roza Tutola are all rather good friends with one another, and generally on the same page as far as far as their cluster is concerned.
With the 15th Assault going offline for reorg, the mantle, should Rho be called upon before they are fully ready, falls upon the 3rd Jaegers. Star Colonel Sender of the Jaegers welcomes the opportunity. Theoretically, though, all of Rho Galaxy is to focus upon preparation for their upcoming missions (Operation PYLON) and to leave defense of their position to Ya Galaxy's forces.

Kojak was interested in hearing Odeletta Feng's story, a Star Captain with a Bloodname, stuck managing Artillery assets.

Mechwarrior Profile
Star Captain Feng is an odd one. She has earned a bloodname, but sits in command of something as disgraceful as an Artillery Trinary. Even amongst the wolves who see uses for such tools, Artillery is not a prestigious posting. Her story is one of uphill struggle. Early on in her combat training it became evident that she was middle of the road for conventional direct combat skills. Certainly enough to qualify her for warrior status, but never strong enough to carry her to glory. It was however noted during a practice exercise against a freeborn sibko that she showed remarkable understanding of indirect ballistic fire, when she siezed the mortar position that the freeborn sibko had been assigned, and turned its tubes against its former masters. Proud to show skill in something, Odeletta never paid much mind to artillery's stigma save for when the issue was forced.
In part, she owes her bloodname to luck. Feng is not exactly the most glamorous of Wolf bloodlines, rarely is it mentioned in the same breath as the Kerenskys, Wards or Radicks of the clan. Additionally, the name that came open, was not a particularly cherished heritage. One prior owner of the name happened to have been taken bondsman by the Republic, and forced to fight against the wolves during the distaction operation that concealed the wolves move to the location of their new empire. Harkening further back, the name once belonged to a warrior who fought in Omega Galaxy until their defection to the Hell's Horses. STILL, a bloodname IS a bloodname, and her desire to claim it did not go unopposed.
As something of an outcast due to her proficiency for Artillery, Odeletta tended to make friends amongst tankers and elementals, rather than amongst other mechwarriors. Her elemental companions had helped train her in hand to hand combat, even against their larger kind. As such, when given the choice she chose to fight many of the battles on her way to the bloodname Unaugmented. This avoided the issue of the "dishonor" of figting with Artillery. Eventually in the final rounds, the issue was finally forced, and she had to fight in a mech. She was issued not a Naga, but its ancestor, a Woodsman for the trial. She successfully argued that she should be allowed to employ artillery as it WAS a one-on-one battle and Artillery's usual problem, the possibility of involving another party, was a non-issue. Ultimately, she was able to use the artillery system to fell a large, decrepit office building in the city ruins where they fought, dropping the rubble upon her foe and ending the trial. Her final fight, she was forced to swap the Arrow launcher for a Thunderbolt 15 someone had rummaged up. Ironically, this would prove the undoing of her last opponent, whose last sight was a Thunderbolt Missile rapidly growing larger and larger as it struck the mech's faceplate.
Possession of a bloodname may have heralded a chance to pursue a more direct combat opportunity, but Odeletta actively enjoys working with artillery, and is happiest in command of a unit that others would view as punishment. She is close with the tankers under her command, AND with the corresponding Trinary in the 5th Sentinels. If she could enhance her unit, it would be with the addition of Battle Armor to her command, (perhaps some of the new artillery battle armor she has heard about?) or with the upgrading of ALL the Hueys under her command to the AAA model.
-
Wow, that is really cool to see; you totally surprised me with the angle you took on it. I was assuming it was a punishment for some past offense, but I really like the way you went with it, it's much more original.
Also, cool to see the showdown between Carns and Demo. Did you and Foxx play that out in MM?
-
Yeah, I wrote the trial up from the dialogue we did on IRC, and the Gamelog from the megamek match.
I honestly didn't see it coming, but I think earning the XP to finally buy Natural Aptitude Gunnery emboldened Foxx, and he wanted to see Demos advance. I played Carns in his Tomahawk II Prime, and the best numbers I ever managed to get on the Warwolf were 9's, more commonly 11's, and sometimes 15s. We played on a 60x60 map, and he kept his range.
It actually solves a lot of things for the unit. Josh is really happy because he'll be getting back into a Warwolf, the commanders are all on the same page, and Jon found a way to advance that didn't involve fighting Katrine or Josh. the 15th is going to be getting even bigger though, as a result. As Usual, Foxx's shenanigans are taking me in an unexpected direction. :D and Carns gets to live, though he's in a much shittier posting now. >_>
It's always interesting for me too, doing these writeups. Until I start writing or playing, I usually only have the vaguest notions of what they're like, and its through running them in battle, or writing about them, that their personality and background grow. I get forced to flesh them out. Odeletta's friendship with Tankers and Infantry, for example. I didn't even know that was coming.
-
Also, cool to see the showdown between Carns and Demo. Did you and Foxx play that out in MM?
It was awesome taking a Warwolf in the A config against a TomahawkII prime. p33r tomahawkII's i do not. At the start of the battle i spent a couple turns slapping some trees on a lvl2 so that later when i was falling back to keep the range, i could get behind the lvl2 and not have to fire through trees ^-^...It worked btw O0. The whole thing sprang from random idea i had about carns using the last battle as political ammo against Katrine (you know the wolfs eat that stuff like wheaties) then kinda snowballed from there, complete with "for this shmuck...i need no assault mech"
Since the only damage his warwolf had was some minor rear armor scatchs, he actually piloted his warwolf pretty much fresh from the previous bloody battle.
-
The reactor didn't even have time to cool off. Techs just slapped more missile reloads in there and tacked on a couple of backplates.

Things are starting to look a bit grim, for the 3rd Wolf Jaegers. Engaging in a series of intramural exercises with their fellow wolves on the planet Deep Fields, they have been handed a series of embarassing losses by the Deep Fields Garrison Cluster(DFGC) and the Alpha Retest Cluster(ARTC) out of Ya Galaxy, as well as the 5th Wolf Sentinels from their own Rho galaxy. Star after Star, including the recently transferred Heavy star led by Charlotte Seles, have been repeatedly trounced. The DFGC is a garrison cluster in name and equipment priority alone, and in truth, they are the better part of a frontline Falcon cluster. But the ARTC is a series of second-chance training candidates being overseen by veteran warriors, and the 5th Sentinels they lost to did not even have a scrap of clan technology to their names.
Galaxy Commander Dustin Vickers, who is in charge of the task force comprised of Rho and Ya Galaxies is pleased with the showings of his own fifth, but he is appalled with the performance of the 3rd Jaegers. Rumor has it that he is considering a massive exchange of personnel and materiel between the 3rd and the DFGC, or that Star Colonel Sender risks demotion or relocation to a far less vital posting. While every able wolf is needed, one begins to question how able these wolves are, plagued with such a string of embarassing defeats.
-
the 15th Assault is undergoing its re-equipping and re-organization, augmented by the techs normally assigned to the 3rd Jaegers on orders of the Galaxy Commander.
the Jaegers however, have won a few vital victories.
First, The Jaegers commander held the line in an exercise against members of the Keshik. This, bought them time to train within their ranks, at the cost of lending out their techs to the 15th.
Second, when Mechwarrior Vesna of the 15th, trialed for a trade between Star Commander Jeremy Radick of the 3rd and herself, to exchange her Ice Ferret for his Phantom. Jeremy sent her packing as a warning to the 15th, stating that though the 3rd may be experiencing a streak of bad luck, they are not dead, and will not stand for predation by their own kin. He retained his phantom.
Third, the recently transferred Charlotte Seles and her star won a simtrial to prove they were deserving of the star of Sphinx, Ryoken II and Jade Hawk mechs that had been down-converted to the Wolf Garrison models (replacing 375XL with 300 Standard). Facing Clarence Kerensky's star from the 15th in mock battle, they demonstrated that they could effectively use the mechs, and thus they were assigned to replace the damaged Tundra Wolf, Blood Reaper and Sun Cobras, which have gone back into the general pool for repairs.
As thanks for the downed mechs sent off for inspection, the supply chain was able to forward three Carnivore HAG models, and a Carnivore Second Line to replace the Aesirs in the assault star. Josh worked hard to get those Carnivores to fill out the trinary, as gratitude for Jonathan getting him back into a Warwolf. He has cautioned Jonathan against continuing Martin Carns' desire to turn the unit pure-mech, and wants to make the Carnivore Star as effective as he can for Jonathan.
With the 3rd and 15th occupied, the 5th is on-duty, helping hold the planet and supplies cached there. Much of the duty is upon Ya Galaxy, but Rho cannot sit completely idle or they would be prone to cause trouble.
-
An unknown number of raiders have made planetfall upon Deep Fields, and engaged the defenders in combat. No Batchall or particular grievance has been cited, but their objective appears to be the supply cache being maintained on Deep Fields.
A star of the Deep Fields Garrison Cluster enaged this unidentified enemy but was overwhelmed by the skill and number of attackers. However, as soon as trouble began (and despite their technical 'offline' status) Star Captain Ivy Conners sallied to reinforce the Defenders. Ivy and her star arrived to find the raiders reduced in number, and the garrison star completely defeated. Sprinting into the fray at top speed, Ivy and the warriors under her command rapidly put down the threat, and secured their DFGC Comrades, as well as the battlefield salvage.
Putting a damper on the 15th's unauthorized victory is the loss of two mechwarriors from the Garrison Cluster. Still, even this is not without a silver lining, for the loss of two of their own, binds the Falcon Abhtaka of the cluster closer to the clan, in their thirst for revenge.
-
Raids by the unknown force have continued, small independently operating groups of mechs and armor have attacked strategic caches of war material on Deep Fields. Action by the 5th Sentinels and Ya Galaxy have prevented the raids from inflicting serious losses, though several warehouses have been ignited. The fires were put out, but not before small amounts of the cached supplies were destroyed by the fires.
Near as Watch Agents and Technical Personnel can determine, though the attackers have employed equipment associated with the Republic of the Sphere, Clan Nova Cat/Spirit Cat, and mechs commonly available on the mercenary market, they do not seem to be affiliated with any of these groups. Captured personnel have not divulged anything, those we have been able to interrogate have revealed little, and most captured pilots have been terminated by means of a small explosive device implanted in the back of their skulls. Due to the surprise expressed by those who witnessed their comrades sudden termination seems to indicate that they were unaware of the devices. Medtechs have not been successful in removing the explosives without loss of life.
Whomever is launching these attacks seems more concerned with weakening Clan Wolf than strengthening themselves. They would rather see our caches burn, than remain in our hands.
-
Much like Ivy, Katrine Kerensky is not one who likes to sit still and wait. Unlike Ivy, she got permission before going hunting. Katrine struck at the invaders transport assets, and her successful attack in force flushed their dropships from their position, giving Wolf Aerospace assets a chance to go after them. Katrine took both mech stars under her command, as well as the free-floating warriors attached to the Keshik, and Star Captain Nicodemus Icaza from Ya Galaxy's Deep Fields Garrison Cluster, who was itching for some payback.
The attack cost the enemy dearly. Only one mech, a Templar III piloted by their cowardly commander was able to flee the battlefield. He is being hunted by Ivy's Star as we speak. Their identity is further confused however. The force defending their dropships (Union, Leopard and Overlord dropships which could belong to anyone across the sphere) was dressed in the skeletal colors of Stone's Brigade. Almost inexplicably, amongst the machines defending their transports were two celestial series omnimechs, an Archangel and a Grigori. Post-Battle analysis indicates that the pilots did not exhibit the degree of man-machine integration that was a hallmark of the Manei Domini. Serial Numbers recovered from the wreckage indicate that these WERE vintage machines from the word of blake Jihad, and not newly produced hardware. One, the Grigori self destructed, and the Archangel was heavily butchered, including some autocannon damage that obliterated the cockpit. What scrap remained has been rendered unusable by means of chemical antagonists, and the entire mass is being encased in plascrete and deposited in an old flooded quarry. Even more vexing is their possession of a Warwolf omnimech. This is a design that even a successful galaxy like Rho cannot obtain in sufficient number, and an enemy appears to be in possession of one? Muddying the waters further, are a number of designs including a salvaged centurion omnimech, abandoned hanse mbt and Jaegermech of unusual configuration, with origins in the federated suns.
This pastiche of near random equipment would seemingly implicate a faction like the Republic of the Sphere, but it seems unusual that they would conduct an operation in this manner. We have been raided by a force we are fairly sure was the Republic, launching some sort of spoiling attack outside of their fortress in the past. However, they fought to obtain the cached supplies rather than simply deny them to us. Furthermore, though we could not definitively identify the faction they originated with, they did not conceal their identity in such a strange and haphazard method. This is more reminiscent of the assortment of mercenaries the 15th fought alongside Clan Sea Fox.

Mechwarrior Profile
Though Clan Wolf does not officially issue the rank of "Nova Captain" Ivy Conners devoutly wishes they did. Formally her rank IS Star Captain, and outside of Rho Galaxy she holds as much sway as any other Star Captain would. Within Rho, she still only recieves informal recognition of the rank, but others DO tend to acknowlege that she commands an above average number of troops and do her the honor of the unofficial rank. Much to Josh Ward's dismay this includes the newly appointed Star Captain Jonathan Demos, who wants to convert his trinary to a horse-style vehicle and mech nova organization.
In addition to her odd preference for titles, Ivy is known to boast that she (in her Wulfen) is the fastest thing in Rho Galaxy outside of the Aerospace Fighters. To her dismay, this also includes her starmates, whose older, slower mechs are not quite as nimble and swift as her Wulfen. Though her mech is stealthy she rarely employs the stealth armor features in combat. Ivy prefers to use the Stealth Armor for non-combat purposes, such as scouting and positioning. When she enters combat she throws off the stealth cloak, and utilizes the ECM for electronic warfare, rather than running the armor. Ivy prefers configurations that allow her to fence, snipe and probe with her weapons. Her initial impression of the Wulfen was that though she enjoys a good sauna every now and then, she did not need a combat sauna. After getting a feel for the mech, she has warmed to its charms.
Ivy is swift outside of combat as well. a diminutive woman, (and she would have to be to be comfortable in a Wulfen's cockpit) she is quite swift on her feet and with her hands. Due to the close relationship mandated for a mech and elemental Nova, she has trained extensively both augmented and unaugmented with the elementals of Neil Shaw's half of the Nova. Ivy herself most frequently trains, works, and couples with Point Commander Jalyn and her Point of Elementals. Their Clan Medium Battle Armor Rache Variant point is almost always the one attached to Ivy's Wulfen in operations. This intimate training and bonding with the elementals paired to her star makes her a fearsome foe in an unaugmented fight. Seeing a girl petite enough to qualify as an Aerospace Phenotype led many of her more burly opponents to underestimate Ivy, and they assumed they could quickly crush her in unaugmented combat. Her possession of the Conners bloodname shows how sucessful that was for them. They would have done as well to attempt to nail a wad of fresh, hot, mech actuator grease to the wall.
Her Piloting Skills and Physical speed are not the only things fast about Ivy. Commanding her own mech star, coordinating its operations with the elementals that make up her nova, a second mech star, and then an unconventional supernova of ten maxim hovers, five wargs and five black wolves requires a sharp mind as well.Though she relies on many of her assets to operate with a high degree of autonomy, she is capable of directing the entire team as one on the rare occasion that they are deployed in full.
Due to the nature of her unit, Ivy sports fewer kill markers than her peers. Despite this, she still commands respect because of the things her unit can accomplish that other parts of the cluster cannot. She is definitely the most mobile part of the fifteenth assault, and Josh often calls upon her and her personnel to handle jobs that the others are ill suited to. Scouting may not be a glamorous job, but it can make all the difference in a dishonorable world. Striking where the enemy is not may not win glory, but it can win campaigns and Ivy's comrades recognize this and respect her for it.

Mechwarrior Profile
Star Commander Nail was Jonathan Demos' right hand man until he began his climb up the career ladder. After Jonathan moved out from the star, Nail won his former position and took command of the star. Previously a Timber Wolf pilot, he has acclimted to the Warwolf that Rho Galaxy obtained and assigned him. Awarded to him by Dustin Vickers and Josh Ward, it is a sign that they trust him to lead the star to good things. If he continues to shine in the role, it is likely that Jonathan will sponsor him for a shot at a bloodname when the opportunity arises.
Nail is not the name he was assigned, it is a sobriquette he picked up in his sibko for two reasons. First of all, even at a young age, they found that he was tough as nails. His trainers were not gentle, and though their harsh pressure broke and disqualified many others, they found Nail stoic and implacable in the face of abuse. Secondly, resenting the stringent treatment that went above what other sibkos could expect, Nail was somewhat of a troublemaker. One trainer was fond of the old saying about pounding down the nail that stands out, and the cadet then known as Brennan had definitely stood out. Under less liberal commanders than Jonathan Demos and Katrine Kerensky, he may not have been allowed to keep such a nickname, but neither of them are the sort of person who would give him trouble over that. Katrine could care less what he answers to, so long as it does not have an unearned surname.
Even though Jonathan has moved to a different part of the cluster's organizational tree, when they are both off-duty, Jonathan Demos and Nail can frequently be found in one another's company. Initially posessing nothing in common besides a bloodhouse, they quickly found they had a knack for causing trouble together. Star Colonel Ward has learned not to leave their hands idle for too long, lest they find something to occupy themselves.

Ritter
Rank: Star Captain
Decanted: 3110 (35 in 3145)
Affiliation: Clan Wolf (CWF)/Wolf Empire
Home Planet: Moritz
Mech: Savage Wolf Prototype 2, Rakshasa 1Ar
-Skills-
Gunnery: 3
Piloting: 4
Command Init: +1
Star Commander Ritter is exactly the sort of warrior the clan had in mind when it formed the 5th Sentinels. A Solid, Loyal Wolf who may not be a Ristar, but can be relied upon to do his duty. He is an older warrior, and in more plentiful times may have been sent to sohlama duties already, but the clan needs his sort and despite his lack of Bloodname, he still has a place on the front lines. He is unlikely to complain that the 5th sentinels are charged with similar duties to a sohlama unit, both because he is unlikely to complain about much of anything without good reason and because Rho Galaxy is still a frontline unit. He is unlikely to be nominated for a bloodname unless we start to see a dramatic shift in his performance, but he is a valued asset none the less.
Recently he managed to claim one of these "Mad Cat Mark Four Prototypes" in combat and due to the damage his Rakshasa took in obtaining it, he has switched over to the new mech. One of the few Clantech mechs in the fifth sentinels, he is being allowed to keep his isorla because of the plentiful nature of Timber Wolf and Savage Wolf parts that can be adapted to it within the Galaxy. Fortunately, it does not have the Ferro Lamellor or Extra Extra Large Engine that the production variant uses. The Rakshasa is down for repairs, and until that is straightened out, it is unlikely to be reassigned unless someone desperately needs a mech.

Mechwarrior Profile
Star Colonel Andreus Sender knows that he is at or near the apex of his career. He finds himself in charge of a Cluster, but balks at the idea of commanding much more. He never expected that he would rise higher than Star Captain, and though he enjoys many aspects of his leadership role, he misses being directly in combat as often as he would have been in a lower rank. It weighs heavily upon him, leading the Third Jaegers. There is a great deal more responsibility than he had ever expected to shoulder and he lacks the inspiring command presence of peers of his like Dustin Vickers or Josh Ward. Isn't even an inspiring underdog story like Star Colonel Catarin. But, he does his best and tries to instil a large degree of autonomy within the warriors under his command. His Timber Wolf Omnimech is one of those hand-built on Weingarten back in the Occupation Zone. It is not the highest quality build, and its serial number indicates that it was one of the early hand-built models, and this is likely why it barely meets specifications. Technicians estimate that if it degrades much, they may have to consign it to end-of-life service amongst the warriors of one of the Technical Administrative Clusters.
-
Wow, you're really on a roll with these! I particularly enjoyed Ivy Conners' and Andreus Sender's bios. For some reason, I imagine Ivy Conners looking like Gina Carano thanks to that bio.
-
I decided that Sender was the reason that the 3rd didn't have a special ability for the cluster while the other two do. The rest kindof sprung from that.
I can see Gina as Ivy, though Gina's a few inches taller than I envision Ivy being.

Star Captain Jonathan Demos continues to be an endless source of excitement for the 15th Assault.
Intent on showing up Martin Carns and his failed ambitions, he took the five spare mechs from Rho's cache which Carns had been petitioning for, and added them to his trinary, pulling some organizational creativity to declare his star was now a Nova. Ivy of course, stood ready to back him up on this. Pilots, however, and techs to maintain the mechs, were hard to come by. Jonathan began reviewing Wolf organizational data for planets within a jump or two, and dragged Star Colonel Josh Ward into this with him. They determined that the 23rd Garrison Cluster, freeborns out of their new Empire in the well-performing Theta Galaxy, had been assigned to guard what was essentially a broken and poisoned rock named Rochelle. Reluctantly, Josh okayed Jonathan's expedition to challenge them, knowing that if he did not, Jon would insist on something crazy like going for a premier unit and their elite warriors, or going for one of the other Rho Galaxy units. It would be a good test of mettle for the native unit, and though it won them no friends, Jon did bring home techs and warriors to staff his new star.

Clan Wolf Rho Galaxy Auxillary Attachments
Type: Watch Attachment
The Watch Attachment to CWFRHO is a twenty five man star, meant to be shared with CWFYA. Leading the Watch attachment are Watch Star Commander Derek, Point Commander Sharon, Point Commander Taylor, Point Commander Roger, and Point Commander Stewart. Though All will consult on the operations of CWFRHO and CWFYA, they have been assigned to work closely with different parts of the galaxies, and have been assigned as their specialities dictate.
In addition to the overt agents of this watch attachment, it has always been believed that watch agents resided within the support segments of CWFRHO. CWFYA since it is new and lacking in support personnel, is less likely to contain such agents.
Star Commander Derek's Point:
Strength: Intelligence Operations (General), Leadership
Assigned: Cobalt Keshik
Objective: Assist Galaxy Commander Vickers as needed, coordinate other intel teams, keep CWFRHO and CWFYA informed.
Point Commander Sharon's Point:
Strength: Signals Intelligence
Assigned: 15th Assault
Objective: Provide the 15th Assault with a clear picture of the foes they will be facing as the spearhead of CWFRHO
Point Commander Taylor's point:
Strength: Commando Operations
Assigned: 3rd Jaegers
Objective: Other Than Honorable Operations to keep the enemy from employing same. Coordinate with Roger's Point.
Point Commander Roger's Point:
Strength: Human Intelligence
Assigned: 5th Sentinels
Objective: Identify threats to the 5th Sentinels and CWFRHO/CWFYA in general. Coordinate with Taylor's point.
Point Commander Stewart's Point:
Strength: Counterinsurgency
Assigned: Ya Galaxy
Objective: Vet loyalty of operatives within CWFYA and Ad-Hoc Support Staff. On call for insurgent threats task force may face.
Type: Merchant Caste Attachment
The Merchant Caste Attachment to CWFRHO is a group of twenty Master Merchants leading teams of four Merchants each. Their objectives are to manage and enhance the cache of materials that has been stage on Deep Fields and prepare it for transit. a Dedicated assignment was settled upon by Clan Command after considering the encounters and cooperative operations that CWFRHO has had with Clan Sea Fox. Many of the merchants are recent adoptions to the clan following the move to the Empire. This necessitates concessions in their handling and behaviour, they are not yet fully adjusted to the way of the clan. Priority has been given to their mission over clanliness in their actions, and so long as they accomplish the assigned goal of keeping the clan fed and supplied, oddities will be overlooked. Additionally, they will be recruiting from local personnel and assembling labor and technical teams to support their operations.
Merchant Captain: Teg
Master Merchants: Don, Pete, Betty, Megan, Joan, Lane, Roger, Peggy, Lou, Trudy, Ted, Bert, Ken, Harry, Jim, Robert, Gene, Sally, Henry
-
Serving CWFRHO's support needs are a number of non-warrior caste men and women.
Technical Support Section:
Head Technician: Alexandra (DTB)
Staff Levels: Good Coverage.
- 100% of Cobalt Keshik Fully Staffed
- 97% of 15th Assault Cluster Fully Staffed
- 90% of 3rd Jaegers Fully Staffed
- 100% of 5th Sentinels Fuly Staffed
- 10% of Floating Technical/Training team goal staffed.
Staff Composition: Tier II(Full Tech) and Directorial positions 100% filled by Longtime CWF personnel, 35% of Tier I(Astech) longtime CWF personnel. 65% of Tier I are Abhtaka from former FFWL States and LYRCOM planets. High Tier II and above composition due to Rho's evacuation efforts when departing CWFOZ.
Technical Support Staff Specialties:(3)
- Scavengers: Life in the former CWFOZ was not easy for any levels of the clan, and access to new production was far from guaranteed. The need for resources meant that no wreck on the battlefield was too bloodied to be ignored, if only for the value of the base metals. As such CWFRHO's Technical teams are expert scavengers and can scour the battlefield clean
- Junkyard Dogs: a high percentage of the CWFRHO technical teams are DTB, Demoted Trueborn. Many of them went through varying degrees of sibko training prior to their reassignment to technical positions. Combined with CWFRHO's fairly relaxed and liberal oversight, and the influx of freeborn native personnel who see nothing wrong with fighting to defend themselves, CWFRHO's technicians are capable of self-defense and would make for exceedingly poor hostages or targets of attack. Not for offensive use, but if attacked, even reassigned wolves still have fangs.
- Adaptable: Those Lean years in the CWFOZ were not kind to anyone who was not resourceful. As a result, no mech of any technical base goes unutilized, and CWFRHO's technical teams are as comfortable with repairing the Diesel Turbine on a modified Industrialmech, as they are repurposing a Ryoken II's Clan-built 375 Extralight Fusion Plant. Mixed Technologies do not daunt them. jury-rigged repairs, or non-standard parts do not faze them.
Medical Support Section:
Head: Scientist Quinn (DTB)
Staff Levels: Adequate Coverage. Capacity sufficient for 100% of maintenance-level and preventative care. Capacity also sufficient for treatment of roughly 33% of galaxy requiring significant treatment, or for takeover and direction of sufficiently large native facilities to support up to 150% with assistance from CWFRHO Infantry Platoon.
Staff Composition: Master-level (Tier IV and above) staff 100% born into CWF (35%DTB). Doctor Level (Tier III) 75% born into CWF (40% DTB), Nurse Level (Tier II) 0% born into CWF (100% freeborn), Basic level (Tier I) 0% Born into Clan Wolf (100% freeborn) Science Level (Non-Tiered) 75% Born into CWF (50% DTB)
Medical Support Staff Specialties:(1)
- Heavy Scientific Support: CWFRHO's Medical Staff include a number of scientist level personnel who utilized their ability to double as medical personnel as a ticket to depart the former CWFOZ. As such, CWFRHO is capable of a high degree of elite level medical support, including the knowlege and capacity needed to perform the high-level replacement of limbs and organs, integrate systems such as EI, and deal with natural and manmade contagious threats to the Galaxy.
Labor and Logistics Section:
Head Laborer: Ralph
Staff Levels: Adequate. Higher Personnel numbers welcomed, but candidates must be vetted through attached Watch personnel before access to most jobs.
Staff Composition: 15% Born into Clan Wolf (100% of that Former Trueborns, primarily demoted Elementals), 25% born in Republic(40% of that descended from elementals), 20% Born into LyrCom, 40% Born into Former FWL.
Logistical Support Staff Specialties:(2)
- Industrialmechs: Primarily the Patron Loadermech, but including other examples as well, the Labor and Logistics section of CWFRHO makes generous use of Industrialmechs and other heavy equipment. As such, many of the staff are skilled operators of such equipment, and comfortable in the cockpits of more serious hardware as well, should they need to relocate or recover millitary equipment.
- Construction: Equipped with the Heavy Machinery and tools of the trade, many of the Logistical Staff were also construction workers before joining the clan. Logistics section employs a high degree of civilian heavy machinery in its duties and doubles as a construction crew, capable of building structures for CWFRHO and other related tasks such as manual demolition and non-combat engineering.
External Support Connections:
VEST:
Vining Engineering and Salvage Team.
Located on Solaris VII, VEST is set up to perform customization and unconventional production for Clan Wolf. With the Relocation to the Wolf Empire, the equipment once used on Weingarten to Hand-build Timber Wolf omnimechs has arrived in VEST's hands on Solaris. CWFRHO is not their only client, but is building a good relationship with the VEST Team, particularly out of Rho's fondness for the aging designs such as the Timber Wolf and Rho's reasonable proximity to Solaris.
Bonus Effect: Classic Omnimechs available as replacements.
External CWF Logistical Brigade:
Clan Wolf has placed a large quantity of war material on Deep Fields and part of CWFRHO's Duty is to defend that war material and those handling it. While not directly under CWFRHO's Command, these external logistical personnel might be persuaded to assist CWFRHO when time and manpower is available.
Bonus Effect: No logistical staff insufficiencies while on Deep Fields. (Temporary)
Deep Fields Hospitals:
CWFRHO's takeover of Deep Fields was a clean operation with no damage to civilian infrastructure. Sanctity of civilian targets such as schools and hospitals were entirely avoided and during the time since arrival, CWFRHO personnel have endeavored to build connections to local infrastructure. By sharing clan medical scientific data and training with the local hospitals, CWFRHO has both been able to recruit from their numbers and convert them to external allies. Their infrastructure augments CWFRHO while on planet.
Bonus Effect: CWFRHO has Full Coverage for medical issues while on Deep Fields.(Semi-Temporary)

A closer look at Point Commander Taylor and his Watch Operations point.
In the old days, when Clan fought Clan, and honor was the rule of the day, a force of this nature was by in large unnecessary. One did not have to worry about their foes behaving dishonestly. The worst one would have to consider was the possibility of a force that had a different interpretation of what was honorable. This is not so, not in the inner sphere. Here, results often matter more than honor, and there are those who will go to any length to ensure that they get those results. Point Commander Taylor has assembled a point of operatives to make the most noble sacrifice the clan could ask of them, to forsake their honor, that others may preserve their own.
Point Commander Taylor is the freeborn son of a washed out mechwarrior phenotype and an elemental. His mother was reassigned to the technical caste, and charged with the duty of maintaining the point of elementals led by the man who would become his father. Aptitude testing revealed that a young Taylor possessed many of the qualities that would make him a good warrior, but those testing him were uncomfotable about something in his nature, in his mindset. He grasped the nature of fighting quite well, he was ferocious in a fight, but he did not seem to have the proper respect for traditions or matters of honor. This bothered his handlers and a demotion to labor caste was in the works, when a data-trap in the trainers computers was triggered. The Wolf Clan Watch took custody of Taylor and finished his training. Under rigorous training, the boy thrived and received direction in the operation and use of all manner of combat, from bare hands and blades to the cockpits of mechs and aerospace fighters. He served a stint as an astech, learning how these things are held together and to know better how to take them apart. He was given access to contraband data and books, allowed to learn things the clan sternly disapproved of. His un-clanlike attitudes were not hammered out of him, but sheltered. He was taught how to hide them and channel them into his work. He apprenticed under other watch agents, reviewing their past missions, soon joining them in their work.
He is a tool crafted for precisely this manner of work. He thinks not of his own honor. He has no qualms infiltrating an enemy hangar and forcing them to pare down their bid to ensure an even match for his comrades. He has experience in numerous fields of nonstandard warfare. He has worked with demolitions and construction crews and studied captured training materials intended to inform agents how to sabotage and sap, that he may more easily spot and counteract these measures. He is conversant in the use of numerous tools of battle. Once promoted to command his own Watch Point, he was given leave to cultivate a team as he saw fit. Drawing from all levels of clan society from sohlama warriors to technicians and scientists, they all received training similar to his, at his direction.
Equipment:
Taylor's point is equipped with a set of Kobold IIc battle armor, imported from the Ghost Bear Dominion. With its Stealth armor, ECM suite, high vtol/jump capacity, armored glove manipulators and diverse array of offensive options, the suit is quite well suited to the manner of work Taylor and his men do. Whether using the suits VTOL Capacity and gloves to remove and disarm explosives from the underside of a sapped bridge, or taking the quick way up and getting the drop on the apartment of an anti-clan resistance cell, the Kobolds may not be a Stand-and-Fight battle armor, but they are excellent at the jobs that Taylor is trained to do.
They also make use of a diverse array of infantry arms, though the Mauser IIc is popular as an attachment when utilizing battle armor. Aside from those Mausers, they tend to rely on whatever is locally available and best suits their mission. They are also known to make use of other equipment, battle armor, combat vehicles, civilian gear as-necessary tailored to the mission's demands.
Point Members:
Andre - Freeborn, Former Scientist, Specialty: Saboteur/Counter-saboteur.
Scott - Trueborn (Elemental Phenotype), Unremarkable Career, Specialty: Sniping
Darlene - Freeborn, Former Technician, Specialty: Infiltration
Mandy - Freeborn of ASF/Mechwarrior phenotype coupling, Specialty: Humint

Still fighting the Remnant any?
-
Well, there were a few attacks that are suspected to originate from inside the fortress, but for the most part, the trapped-outside-the-fortress republic remnants don't seem to want to invite the trouble by going on the offense. TBH, I didn't anticipate this long hiatus before ilClan, and I've been ready to move along for the better part of a year, but I know if I go blindly ahead and blatantly contradict canon when it IS revealed, I'm going to hate myself and have to come back, do it over again.
-
I'm loving Rho's support section, especially the Watch detachment: great job on the write-up on Point Commander Taylor and his Point in particular. Can't wait to see what they get up to next.
-
Well, as you are someone who has played with the new flagship Wolf units while still running the classics I thought I would try my hand against them and see how they fare along with some of the other new tech.
I was considering a Trial might be interesting . . .

I'd enjoy a match, the more the merrier! We could hammer out a scenario or play a what-if, drawing from my established lineup without counting it as canon. I can think of ways to do both. :)

After our chat on IRC, I started poking around in the megamek filters. Found the perfect BA by setting the right series of and/or filters. Bears build it, but I figure a point of kobolds isn't too much to ask. Fit exactly into the niche we were talking about. As for the write-ups, I do intend to do all my star captains still, and some of my support personnel. Not sure what order it'll all be in. But it's a good way to spend some time on Rho without breaking all their mechs XD
The Watch detatchment is something far more likely to be featured in future writing, as I've been meaning to write out more fiction segments like I did for the Carns/Demos trial. That, and their skills shine through more in ways that don't necessarily translate to megamek options.
-
I would like it, I have some maps I would throw your way for some choices. I already sort of have a force in mind- partial strength forces (5 mechs, 2 conventional forces and 4 BA)- but the question comes down to what would you be defending?
Definitely would be fun playing Redburn's Remnant, perhaps investigating a clue about where the attacks are coming from with the superheavies.
Does the Wulfen have a Clan ECM? or is it IS?
-
Wulfen's got Clan ECM.
It isn't as if the Republic and by extension, the Remnant, doesn't know how the clan way works. They could arrive and issue a batchall, trialing for what information the wolf forces present can give on Superheavy Mechs and appearances of them, gambling on the possibility that the wolves will entertain it and fight them fair. Provided they can match the force reasonably, they just might.
send the maps to restless@chaosgarden.net and I'll include them on my server/bundle.
I really do like how the old and new mechs work well together. Particularly the Warwolf/Timber Wolf, an Tomahawk II/Dire Wolf. The Wulfen's a little lonely, the Phantom can't quite keep up but it's close. I've played with pairing Wulfen/Dasher II 2, but it requires a lot of optional rules to make it work well (BA Grab Bars and Adjustable Energy Weapons to dial the ERMLs down to Extra-ER Sm Lasers.)
-
I was more wondering about things like double blind, ammo explosions can be area effect, backing up hills, each 20 dmg adding +1 for the PSR, etc.
I like DB, its one of the things that makes MM more fun to me since I work to surprise opponents.
-
Oh yeah, I tend to play with ~75%(or more) of the options on. we can discuss particulars once we've got the battle set up. I had just been naming the rules that make the Dasher II 2 More usable.
I'm of mixed feelings about Double Blind, but tend to play with it on.
-
To start off . . . http://bg.battletech.com/forums/index.php/topic,41966.0.html
More to come, and I will also post the Trial call here.
-
Oh! I like where this is going!
I can see this taking off beyond the trial, if you find you like the unit. I already have some ideas.
-
Glad you like it, I think the Remnant can be a fun place to explore with the desperation feel. Put yourself in the last Roman settlements surrounded by the barbarian hordes who are sweeping forward.

14 November 3145
Nadir Jump Point
Deep Fields, Wolf Empire
The sentry satellite only had dust for neighbors. Light from the system's primary barely glinted off its hull it was so far out. Still the little automated buoy absorbed what it could through its panels and sent out two simple messages- broadly 'This system belongs to the Wolf Empire' and back to the planet 'No one is here.' Life was simple for the little automated device.
A surge of energy, detectable to anyone who was looking for it, washed through the jump point. The Celestial Caravan, a civilian Tramp class jumpship, had arrived carrying a pair of Republic Armed Forces dropships. Aboard the Trutzburg class dropship RAF Tolbiac Captain Abernathy started a broadcast aimed at the garrison on Deep Fields.
"Attention Wolf garrison, this is Captain Dalton Abernathy of the VII Hastati, Republic Armed Forces. I declare a Trial of Possesion for your Clan's information about three-legged mechs, image to follow. With what will you defend your Clan's claim to that information? We await your bid."
-
In response to the patient satellite's sudden alarm, many things were set in motion. Troops to alert status, the activation of additional monitoring systems. mesages dispatched to clan and civilian authorities, but the most relevant of which was the summons of Galaxy Commander Dustin Vickers to the command center.
"Captain, This is Galaxy Commander Dustin Vickers of the Wolf Empire's Rho Galaxy. Allow me to verify that I read you correctly. In issuing your challenge in this fashion, you are expressing a desire to conduct a trial according to the clan way? You offer to bid less than the totality of your force in a fair contest for possession of this information?" There was a hint of... well, Clan Warriors were not known to be mirthful about things such as this, but you get the feeling that this tickles him somehow. "If that is correct, we will oblige your desire to fight honorably and without waste. It is refreshing to be approached in a civilized fashion."
Off com, the Galaxy Commander order his aide to transmit a route and a landing zone to the RAF Forces in system "Approach along this route at safe thrust, and so long as you do not deviate or threaten assets outside the scope of your trial, we grant you safcon, that is our tradition of safe conduct to the site of the trial. For the data you seek, I will defend that data with a force of four mechs, a point, that is two of our combat vehicles, and four battle armor squads. If you are victorious, we will share all the data we possess on tripedal mechs, particularly that matching the image you transmitted."
A pause in transmission follows, as if the Galaxy Commander were discussing something with another present. The route information arrived during this gap in dialogue.
"Additionally" the Galaxy Commander continued "We have twenty nine prisoners that were once members of your Republic. They have not received the honor of a bondcord and service to the Empire. Jailing them is not our desire nor our mission. I propose that regardless of the outcome of this trial, we arrange the repatriation of our guests. Particularly if your superiors are willing to release any of our kin in your custody in return."
The Galaxy Commander was a warrior, not a jail warden. He genuinely wished to be rid of these pilots, squads and crews they had defeated. They were neither properly equipped nor inclined to continue detaining them. Any wolf unlucky or weak enough to be taken by the remnant was not a prize, but in these times the Wolves could use every willing and capable pilot, and there was always Rho's sister galaxy, Ya, that they could be inducted to.

Since we never did get around to conducting the above mentioned trial, Rho sat idle for awhile, until Kojak and Foxx talked me into a tempting target. Still willing to run the above trial though!
---
It came to the attention of Galaxy Commander Dustin Vickers, Star Colonels Josh Ward, Andreus Sender and Catarin that there was a rather enticing target of opportunity within a jump of their position. They weighed their options and decided that though it was a gamble, and the mission was not authorized, that success was its own sort of permission. Frustrated by the supply limitations brought upon the clan by the empire's industrial situation a mech plant that they could prey upon was too tempting a target to resist.
An unfortunate situation indeed, for the people of Galatea and their Jade Hawk production site. Guarded only by Hansen's Roughriders, within 30 light years of deep fields, and based around the same Starfire 375XL that powers the Timber Wolf and Warwolf Omnimechs, it was too rich a prize to resist. The plan was set. Rho Galaxy would leave defense of Deep Fields to the sister galaxy, Ya, born of their prior exploits, and set off to conquer.
Rho Galaxy encountered a rocky start at the onset, their first clash with the defenders was over a strategic stockpile of spare parts and ammunition. Failing to acquire the facility, and enduring a good deal of damage to his star, Star Commander Nail did not shine his brightest in the initial encounter. Star Captain Jonathan Demos cleaned up the mess created by this failure and secured the site for the Wolves. Even defended it against further predation by the Roughriders.
Further encounters against the mercenaries defending the planets went in favor of Clan Wolf, losing a good deal of ground to the wolves as they established their foothold. Making things worse, Jade Falcon Watch Agents placed on Galatea dispatched word the moment the Wolves arrived, and tempted to deplete the empire's strength, the Turkina Keshik (itsself a cluster scale organization) hungry for action descended from it's position on skye to savage the wolf in it's talons.
... or such was the plan. Encounter after encounter between Wolf and Falcon resolved in favor of Rho Galaxy, entire stars struck from the Falcon Touman with nothing to show for it.
Scouting in their Wulfens, Star Captain Ivy Conners and Mechwarrior Christen detected a column of falcons making a beeline for the reported location of the Roughrider command center. An Ad-Hoc trinary led by the Falcon saKhan's assault star, would be passing close enough to the supply depot for Jonathan Demos' assault trinary to interpose themselves between the falcons and their target.
A humiliating affair ensued, culminating in 14 of the 15 mechs being rendered unfit for combat, and one being let go to tell the tale to the others. saKhan Ryan Pryde of Clan Jade Falcon failed to land more than 20% damage to Jonathan's Dire Wolf, while his own Turkina was reduced to little more than it's center torso. Incredible trauma befell the shamed saKhan, and what was recovered far more resembled Hamburger than Mechwarrior. Only the fact that Rho salvage and recover teams have made a habit of carrying around repurposed Elemental Medipacks allowed what remains of the man to be salvaged.

CWF Rho Galaxy Current Roster:
15th Assault Cluster
Assault Trinary Supernova
When Star Captain Jonathan Demos took over the Assault Trinary, he wished to upgrade it's armor star to a mech star, desiring the greater force he could leverage with such. His request was denied, his Star Colonel had pledged to the operators of the cluster's armor assets that they would not be thrown casually by the wayside and he intended to honor his word. Citing precedent within the Hell's Horses, and pointing to the irregular structure of Star Captain Connors' unit, Jonathan lobbied to make his trinary an armor and mech nova formation.
They are still acquiring the pilots and machinery necessary to fill out the unit as a nova formation, but they are as of their latest battle at full strength in terms of mechs.

Star Captain Demos' recent exploits have secured the loyalty of all those under his command, and they have taken liberal advantage of the chance to take elite Falcon Mechwarriors as bondsmen. Mechwarrior Zenos perished in the recent fighting and a newer acquisition to the unit, Melody, was transferred with her Hellstar 3 to replace him.

Star Commander Joe's star, the new mech star added to the Trinary is only now up to strength. Deploying at 4/5ths strength they were able to boost themselves to full operational status with the reclamation of a foundling. Tybalt Radick had been taken bondsman by Clan Jade Falcon, and was mostly paraded around as proof that the falcons were able to best the wolves and make pets of their warriors. Still as his honor required of him, he fought for them. He survived the fight and was re-taken by Clan Wolf, and restored to warrior status within the clan.

Leaderless and in disrepair, this star is still under construction. The assets listed are currently under Jonathan's command, but are subject to significant change by the time the star is brought online.
Rumors have it that Galaxy Commander Vickers is unsettled by the concentration of power under Star Captain Demos, and though neither Josh Ward nor Catrin are in favor of it, he may be considering transferring the armor assets in this 'Nova' to the 5th Sentinels. Both star colonels have assured him that they are willing to back him in a refusal over the matter.

Without a source for parts, it is doubtful that the significant damage taken by some of the tanks will be repairable. it is hoped that if their mission on galatea is a success that they will be able to obtain additional Ares tanks to rebuild the star, or that a similar option will present itsself. For now, what remains of the star is held in reserve.

As you can see, the 5th has been on the receiving end of some new hardware of late. Impressed with her rise to command, Star Colonel Catrin has been the recipient of some new hardware from the 15th's latest offensive. No longer the sole clantech in the unit, the Star Colonel retains her Atlas III for it's command benefits. Though in need of repair, a kodiak and hellstar both reclaimed from the Clan Jade Falcon Turkina Keshik were gifted to the 5th. Given that Lou formerly piloted an Awesome, a Hellstar was a natural fit for him. Chester has always worked closely with Lou, and was given a Kodiak that he might continue to keep up with Lou.

Today, the command star of the Cobalt Keshik found themselves set upon by two separate forces. a Headhunting star in Jade Falcon colors first appeared, then a lance from Hansen's Roughriders. Both converged upon the command post where the Keshik's mechs were trapped between them. Zellbrigen was entirely refused by the Falcon forces, apparently aggrieved over the capture of their saKhan. the Wolf Warriors of the Cobalt Keshik fought as befits warriors of their station, making a valliant, desperate attempt to repulse both attackers. However, the force brought against them proved too much, and even the retreat of the Roughriders, themselves battered by the falcons proved insufficient to save the day.
Reportedly an awkward bonding ceremony ensued, and the Falcons collected their dispossessed before leaving with the Galaxy Commander in bondage, his Warwolf dragged off in shame, now property of the Jade Falcons.
In the aftermath, it was unanimously decided that Star Colonel, now Brevet Galaxy Commander, Josh Ward will assume command for the duration of the operation. Who will command the galaxy following that is a matter to be decided upon their return to deep fields.

Wow. I did not see that coming.
Which Star and which lance from the respective units was it, out of curiosity?

Post-battle interviews conducted upon Turkina Keshik bondsmen by the attached watch operatives, indicated that the makeup of this headhunter star did not match up with the ORBATT of the Turkina Keshik as they knew it. The voice sample recorded by the battle recorders recovered from the wreckage was not familiar to the bondsmen. CWF Watch agents suspect no subterfuge from the former falcons who have thus far composed themselves with the utmost honor as befits warriors hailing from such a prestigious unit.
the roughrider interlopers however, match a lance that Watch SIGINT can confirm as hailing from the Roughriders ORBATT.

Today Hansen's Roughriders mounted a stern defense of the Dynamic Ordinance Jade Hawk Plant, turning Josh Ward's assault upon the facility into a brutal bloody affair. Though only a company in strength, their skills were on par with the clan warriors attempting to wrest the factory from them. Though outnumbered by Josh's ad-hoc trinary, they outweighed it and were dug in to the edge of the complex. The battle that followed was a messy affair that took an extreme toll on both sides. Shortly after the battle was joined, the wolf artillery arrived, but proved of limited utility. The Roughriders knew the wolves wanted the factory intact, and used the cover to stay the artillery's wrath.
After a bloody brawl that did far greater damage to the wolves than they had expected, Ivy Conners' Nova arrived to reinforce the wolf assault, and drove off the remaining Roughrider Defenders. Prioritizing securing the site over pursuing the stragglers, the factory is now in Wolf hands.
The timely arrival of Clan Wolf battle armor and fast mechs allowed them to prevent the sabotage of the production facility. With Roughrider Defenders driven off, Watch Points led by Star Commander Derek, Point Commander Taylor and Point Commander Stewart were able to infiltrate the command centers, and the elemental points attached to Star Captian Ivy Conners' group were able to physically secure the facilities. Three of the primary targets, namely the Starfire 375XL Fusion Engine production line, the Control Center for the Endo Steel Orbital Production Facility (and thanks to the ASF units from the Keshik and 15th Assault, the Orbital faciity as well), and the Final Assembly Line have all been secured intact and with full operational data. Acquisition of the electronics production plant where the T&T and Com systems are produced was physically secured, but by the time Point Commander Sharon's SIGINT watch team arrived, the data pertaining to the systems themselves had been purged from the databanks. Sharon is cautiously optimistic that since the storage media was not physically destroyed that the data may prove recoverable. Likewise the gyroscope production line has been disabled, this time by the physical destruction of the storage media containing the operational instructions. This is considered a minor loss, as the gyroscope employed by the Jade Hawk is a simpler design. To the pleasure of the conquering forces, the Actuator production facilities, double strength heatsink production, and weapon system production lines were all taken without incident.
Immediately, remaining forces were called in. Offline stars such as Jeff Sradac's star and Nail's star were left to refit, and Jonathan Demos' trinary remained on guard against a vengeance push by the Jade Falcons but the transports and infantry were called in to help secure the factory complex, as well as the remainder of Josh's armor star. Given that neither the locals nor the wolves wish to do irreparable damage to the facilities, it is hoped that the remainder of the cluster will be sufficient to hold against reprisal.
Along with the infantry, Clan Wolf engineering and labor personnel were called in, and their recent experience in stripping down Weingarten's technical facilities was put to immediate use. Every able hand was called in, including the unwounded mechwarriors of offline stars, to aid in the disassembly and modularization of the factory lines in the complex.

Point Commander Taylor thought of himself and his men as something other than warriors. He and his team possessed the utmost respect for the warriors of Clan Wolf, do not get him wrong. But they were not men well suited to that life. In the clan homeworlds, in the days before the return to the inner sphere, it would not have been possible for their like to exist. They would have been dark caste, shunned by all, hunted down until their final day. But times had changed since REVIVAL, and the Wolf was a pragmatic creature. Point Commander Taylor did not fight by the codes established by the founder. No, he did what he did in order to ensure that his comrades could continue to fight cleanly in a very dirty world. Taylor and his men were Watch operatives, specializing in commando operations. And their job here on Galatea, having helped secure the manufacturing facility, was now to take control of one of several orbital monitoring stations.
The thing of it was, they weren't alone in this mission. a pre-dawn insertion put them in position to stealthily approach the facility. With all eyes on the DOA plant, and the eventual wolf departure being the last thing on most people's mind, there was a shortage of manpower at the monitoring facility. It made a certain sort of sense, they weren't worried about more wolves coming in, they were dealing with the wolf in their home. But it turned out that they were not the only predator skulking around in the pre-dawn hours. It did not hurt, that no one thought of the clans in terms of skilled spycraft or special operations. Watch teams tended to be defensive and thought of only rarely if at all. As much by their own clan as by their foes, sadly. But Rho Galaxy was a very results-oriented galaxy, and saw the value in any personnel that they could get. As such, their watch teams had a high degree of autonomy. The other effect is that these poor bastards were not going to have any clue what hit them.
A good deal of any success was luck. And they had lucked out, managing to get into position and identify the presence of not only the meager site security, but also the second team targeting this facility. The point conferred quietly, and the plan was hatched. The Wolves would lie in wait and let the enemy make the first move. When they moved against the facility, and neutralized the barriers to entry, only then would Taylor and his point strike, neutralizing them before they knew what hit them. This would grant them a high degree of surprise, and allow them to react to changing conditions during the operation.
Their assessment turned out to be correct, the enemy team did not infact have the slightest inkling that they had been made. They brought down the pair of security guards as they took their break in the shadow of the uplink dish, unaware that their cigarettes provided snipers a perfect aim point to home in on. As the flash of the enemy rifles betrayed their position, the wolves began to track those slippery phantoms through the night. One of the snipers exited his post and moved to infiltrate the facility with the rest of his team, while the other stayed in the tree where he had roosted. As the enemy recovered the keycards from the security guards and moved to unlock the orbital facility's door, Taylor gave the order. Two rifles barked briefly, felling the enemy snipers in their respective tracks. Shortly after they barked again, and again, felling the remaining three members of the enemy team. The outer wall of the orbital facility would be in need of a fresh coat of paint, but was otherwise unharmed.
The lone technician manning the monitoring station was non-lethally neutralized by a tear gas grenade, just in case his knowledge or expertise were required. Taylor and his men were only somewhat familiar with computer systems, largely they were here to attach the remote management unit provided by the SIGINT point, which would allow them to remotely hack the facility. With the success of this mission, both the land-based and aerial eyes on Galatea's skies were now under Wolf Control. They would continue to work as normal, save for selective blindness as concerns Wolf Transports on their way out.
Point Commander Taylor reported their success and activated the Remote Management unit. The only thing now, was to try and identify who these interlopers were. Not Jade Falcon, They would have recognized another Watch team. No, this was something else. An internal dispute, perhaps? Smugglers looking to slip out un-detected? Would someone be noticing their absence? These questions would bother Point Commander Taylor, but no answers would present themselves today.

After a lengthy defense, the Dynamic Ordinance and Armaments Jade Hawk plant belongs to Clan Wolf.
Instrumental in defending the facility from the roughrider bid to retake it were Star Captain Jonathan Demos' Assault Trinary and two artillery stars attached to the 15th from the Cobalt Keshik. This operation involved what was essentially the remaining units from the 15th Assault Cluster and Cobalt Keshik who were not pulled offline already. The factory was secured with less damage than anticipated, securing 96% of the facility. With the site firmly under command of Clan Wolf, the dropships were called in, and the site was secured by the 3rd Jaegers Cluster and the 5th Sentinels Cluster with Brevet Galaxy Commander Josh Ward putting the 15th Assault Offline until it recovers from the damage it endured in taking the facility and holding it. The 15th Assault is expected to return to operational status following completion of activities on Galatea.
Priority is being placed on securing the following component lines:
- Endo Steel Orbital Production Plant
- Endo Steel Precursor Production
- Ferro Fibrous Armor Production
- Starfire 375 Extra Light Fusion Engine Production
- Actuator Production: 75t 81kph Actuator Sets
Modularization and disassembly is under way. Watch teams have secured the most important data what remains intact, and have begun interviewing technical personnel from the facility who have expressed an interest in returning with Clan Wolf. Among those taken in the attack is Colonel Ludwig Hansen V. As a mercenary he does not make a particularly attractive bondsman, and unless his officers present a better plan, Brevet Galaxy Commander Ward intends to repatriate him with the people of Galatea following Clan Wolf's successful departure from the planet.

Glad to see you guys were able to finish this out without me; I've been busy for the last few days and felt bad for leaving you in the lurch. Out of curiosity, did the Roughriders end up doing any significant damage to the Wolves?
-
No, even with the reinforcements, that upper map just proved too brutal an approach, and the upper limits of the factory complex narrowed the firing lanes so much that the wolves were able to project significantly more force against any given mech.
The artillery did abate though, as I was down to Smoke, Inferno, Laser Inhibiting and FASCAM and Homing rounds though. And I never did need to call in Ivy's star that actually had the TAGs.

Replacing the loss of Alp Wolf, a trial was held between the Dezgra mechwarrior Baki from the 5th Sentinels' Security Trinary and a washout Astech named Bruno who showed promise. Review of Bruno's files indicated that he was expected to pass his trial of position and failed only because of a backstab by his sibmate.
A simulator trial ensued, in which the technicians overseeing the trial seem to have substituted the Omnimech configuration that Baki desired for another. Bruno, aware of Baki's history (Profile on Baki to follow) fought viciously for a chance to attain a dream he thought lost. Pushing his mech hard, Bruno showed little mercy to Baki and soon emerged the victor in the trial.
Cementing the results of the trial, upon emerging from the simulator, Baki assaulted the technician in charge of his unit, and as he attacked the lower caste man, tackling the tech and accusing him of rigging the fight, the newly minted Mechwarrior Bruno pulled the honorless Baki off of his target, and put the dog back in his place, fist first.
Observing the trial, Star Captain Jonathan Demos deemed it a fair fight as both warriors fought in the same configuration, and the fortunes of war do not always allow you to choose your weapons. Star Colonel Catrin, watching beside him begrudgingly agreed, reluctant to have to continue dealing with Baki.

Mechwarrior Profile
Mechwarrior Baki was an average mechwarrior who fancied himself a Ristar. He was in the process of attempting to impress his star captain who belonged to his same bloodhouse (Sender), when a starmate grew sick of his pomposity and preening and soundly defeated Baki in a circle of equals. This was carefully timed to embarass him in front of the very commander whose endorsement he sought. In return for this, Baki sought to sabotage his starmate in something of a meaner fashion.
In the middle of the night, Baki snuck out to the mech hangar, and infiltrated his starmate's cockpit. He took his time disassembling the canopy blow-away charges, small shaped-charge explosives used to blast away the cockpit glass in the event of an ejection. Baki was in the middle of reversing and swapping the charges, such that they pointed inwards, and would direct gouts of fire and force inwards at the already troubled pilot. He intended to take the further measure of rigging the charge controls not to the ejection lever, but to the heat override control. However, he was discovered in his crime by his starmate's personal technician who had seen a light on in the hangar and gone to investigate. They found his corpse in the morning, at the foot of the Mad Dog he had caught Baki in, his neck broken from the fall.
Baki, though possessed of the cunning to enact such a plan lacked the caution to do so without evidence, and the security systems in the hangar quickly implicated him as the saboteur and murderer. His Star Colonel felt that a bandit's death would be too simple a punishment for the criminal, and sentenced him to waste away in a facility used to house lowercase criminals.
He was reactivated for service when the planet where he was incarcerated ran short on defenders. All they had to stuff him in was a modified industrial mech, but Baki was so gleeful to be back in the cockpit that he did not care. He drifted along, from commander to commander, each disgusted by his crimes, each unhappy to have him on their rosters, until arriving in the 5th Wolf Sentinels Cluster, assigned to the glorious task of piloting a modified industrial, and later a primitive Banshee, in defense of the cluster's more vulnerable assets.

While CWF Rho personnel disassembled the choicest pieces of the DOA Facility, some internal reshuffling occurred. In addition to the trial to replace the deceased Alp Wolf, Star Commander Clarence Kerensky led a simulator-fought Trial of Grievance against Star Captain Jonathan Demos. As this was one bloodnamed commander challenging another, Demos could not refuse Kerensky's Grievance. The matter at hand? Star Captain Demos had recently begun wearing camoflauge associated with Natasha Kerensky, the Black Widow herself. Despite his recent performance, Clarence Kerensky felt him an unworthy successor to those colors in that pattern, and disputed his use of it.
Though not of the Kerensky bloodhouse, Star Colonel Andreus Sender of the 3rd Jaegers WAS beginning to feel that Star Captain Demos was reaching above his station and amalgamating too much equipment and too many warriors beneath his command. Feeling that this would be an opportune time to bring him down a notch, he joined the bid against Demos.
Finally, Star Captain Meltem, commander of the recently defeated Baki resented that Demos allowed Baki to make such a fool of himself and by extension make an idiot out of his commander, Meltem. He joined the trial against Jonathan simply out of spite.
Clarence Kerensky closed half the battlefield in his simulated Gargoyle Alpha before it was stripped of the ability to effectively move or fight. Andreus Sender only made it a hundred meters or so closer in his preferred ride, a Timber Wolf, this time wearing the H Configuration. Meltem nearly reached kicking range in a Warhammer IIc 8, and opened Jonathan Demos' center torso to the elements however the only strike he could manage to land there before his own destruction was a plasma cannon shot.
Jonathan's use of the colors has been validated in a trial, though it wins him few friends within the Bloodhouse of Kerensky. Fortunately for him, Katrine is one of their brightest stars and already on Jonathan's side.

thinking to take the wolf unawares as he gorges himself upon the spoils of the DOA plant, the Turkina Keshik sent a star to punch through the Wolf pickets and strike at the soft underbelly.
The seasoned elite of Clan Jade Falcon found themselves up against the least glamorous cluster of Rho Galaxy, the 5th Sentinels. In particular, the star commanded by Star Captain Ritter. Its only Clan Mech, a repaired Savage Wolf Prototype. Additionally, two points of Moltke MBTs from Mubeena's star reinforced their defense of the highway. The Falcons nearly accomplished what they set out to, but they were stopped at the last moment by the staunch wolf defenders. This defense did considerable damage to the Star Captain's prize ride, and he has been forced to temporarily step back down to the Rakshasa 1AR he previously operated. Replacement ATM launchers, the missile racks his mech usually sports are unavailable to the cluster at their current location, so it is being repaired with a Streak LRM-15 rack, and two SRM-6 Racks, both available on site from the Jade Hawk production lines.

With the choicest parts of the factory safe in the holds of their dropships, Clan Wolf Rho Galaxy prepared to depart once more. The tanks and infantry were loaded aboard, artillery last. As much salvage as could safely be dragged aboard was hauled in and lashed down. Several trucks belonging to a local transit corporation rumbled away from the site. The Mechs re-boarded, starting with the 15th Assault and ending with the 5th Sentinels. As they prepared for dustoff only Point Commander Taylor's point of watch operatives remained on the ground, surprisingly far from the industrial site, along with a small shuttle.
Taylor knew there were scouts observing their operations, and the SIGINT team had set him up well before they packed their things and boarded for departure. He looked down at his portable terminal as the dropships began their launch sequences, and struck a key, opening his helmet mic to several key channels.
"My trothkin are all too honorable to take part in this part of the operation, but fortunately I am not as encumbered by such things. The only honor I need is the success of my clan. I know you are out there watching, and I want you to know two things." Taylor struck another key, initiating the programs left behind in the planetary sensor net as the dropships rumbled away from the surface, taking flight. "First, we have not stripped this factory bare. We have left roughly 45% of it intact. If you are lucky, it could be back in production as early as two or three months from now. I have also personally seen to it that enough pentaglycerine has been strategically placed around the facility to turn this mech and munitions plant into a smoldering crater. If your aerospace operations threaten even one armor plate on one dropship, you will have nothing left."
Taylor and his men watched as the ships climbed into the air, wary for contrails headed their way. His terminal reported no response from what remained of the Galatean's aerial defenses. Not only had he informed the Galateans that there was still something to this factory, but he had made sure to let the Falcons in on this conversation. Perhaps the DOA Plant would prove a more tempting target than their departing ships.
"Second, my Star Commander is sitting with your Colonel Ludwig Hansen, He has opted not to receive the honor of a bondcord, and to be honest, at his age he is of limited value to us. Provided our safe return to the empire, I see no reason why he should not be sent on his way via civilian transports to rejoin you."
Taylor's workstation beeped and he saw the notice from Star Commander Derek. Dropships were safely on their way out, time to bug out. His men rapidly began disassembling their outpost, and loading it aboard the shuttle. Derek remained on watch until it was all aboard. Their shuttle raced skywards after the other wolves, rushing to rejoin their pack.
---
After departing the Galatean system for Deep Fields, Rho split in several directions. Star Captain Jonathan Demos, along with a small detachment of men and machines departed via civilian transports, bound for the Empire's Capital of Gienah. The rest of the 15th Assault accompanied their factory parts and a good deal of salvage, for Solaris VII. The 3rd Jaegers and 5th Sentinels returned planetside to rejoin Ya Galaxy in safeguarding the stockpile there.

Since departing Galatea, Rho galaxy has focused primarily on housekeeping and training, shoring themselves up and repairing from previous conflicts. a trip was made through the narrowest of the Jade Falcon Occupation Zone, trialing the falcons for safcon to reach and return from the Rasalhague Dominion. In the Dominion contact was made with Clan Ghost Bear in order to return a wayward cub to their family. Bondsman Brynjar Jorgensson was taken from the falcons during the Galatea Campaign, and while he would have made a fine addition to Clan Wolf, the opportunity to ransom him for some material for his Supernova Trinary and build friendly contacts within Clan Ghost Bear was too appealing for Star Captain Jonathan Demos to pass up.
Trading Brynjar back to the bears netted Jonathan the amicable relations that he sought as well as a star of Huey AAA tanks to round out his Armor Supernova Trinary. Jonathan is practically a cluster unto himself within the 15th. But the mission to exchange the bondsman for the tanks did not go perfectly smooth. While on Sabik, Both Wolf and Bear forces were attacked by parties unknown. The force attacking Clan Wolf came in the colors of the 5th bear guards, and the force attacking the Bears wore the 15th assault's colors. Neither attempt went successfully, and due to the fact that dismounted representatives of each clan happened to be nearby during both engagements it was swiftly determined that this was a pair of simultaneous false flag operations.
No survivors provided any useful information during interrogation, however their genes unraveled the story more effectively than any interrogative tactics. One of the pilots captured had a familiar ancestry. Ghost Bear scientists working with the watch operatives attached to the 15th were able to identify an ancestor of the man. This captive happened to be descended from a member of Clan Wolf's Delta Galaxy, who went over to the Republic at the end of the Jihad. Combined with previous raids upon their base at Deep Fields and other reports circulating Rho's commanders became fairly certain that somehow a force from within the Fortress, or one intentionally left behind outside of the fortress, was launching spoiler and harassment attacks on those who might threaten the republic's survival.
Unable to penetrate the fortress walls, yet feeling the need to extract a price for these underhanded tactics, it was decided that the 15th Assault would travel to Alhena in the republic remnant and give Jonathan Demos a chance to sharpen his claws and unify his supernova trinary. Deployed in full force, his Supernova Trinary could not find an equal among the defenders, and Jonathan soundly defeated those who stood between him and the munition and parts stockpile that was his objective. Katrine and her trinary stood off a force of Triarii Protectors who thought to imperil the dropships and the rear of Jonathan's trinary, striking so soundly against the thrust that the would-be attackers stood down almost immediately. Disdainful of the mechs they possessed and of the operators, Katrine took no isorla from the fight, bonded no warriors. Instead, she sent Ivy and the Mixed Arms Group to loot their stockpiles as well.
Back home on Deep Fields, integration exercises began, welcoming Star Captain Dwight Radick and his trinary, all that survived of some brutal fighting between the 22nd Regulars Cluster and Clan Jade Falcon. Now attached to the 3rd Jaegers, Star Captain Radick's own star delivered a sound defeat to Star Colonel Andreus Sender and his men in the mock battle that welcomed them to the pack.

Mechwarrior Profile
Star Colonel Andreus Sender is primarily only remarkable for how unremarkable he is. Graduated from his sibko as a mechwarrior, he slowly ground his way to the top, never advancing more than a single rank at a time. He learned the game of clan politics well enough to secure himself the opportunity to win a bloodname, and though he possesses one, it is neither a prestigious heritage, nor was his win impressive. He prevailed not through any great strategy or skill, but primarily through outlasting his opponents and standing clear of the avalanche that swept away his final competitor.
Had fate seen fit to leave him no more than a Star Commander or Star Captain, his lack of vision would not be a terrible hinderance. Some might even say that his competent yet uninspired performance makes for the perfect second star commander in a trinary, one whom you can count on to carry out orders to the letter without argument, one whom you will not have to worry over much about usurpation from. However, Andreus has risen above his level of competence, and emboldened by this, he continues to reach higher.
Still, Star Colonel Sender is a loyal member of Clan Wolf, and in these times every trueborn warrior is needed. While once his advancing age would have been a wonderful reason to see him step back a rank and reassigned to a second line outfit, it is unlikely that in our current climate we will see him demoted unless one of his subordinates rises to challenge him. Of those in his command, Paterno Carns does not seem to desire the rank, John Kerensky is an Elemental and preoccupied with his trinary, as is Star Captain Lenz (who is also unbloodnamed), and Dwight Radick is too new for the cluster to accept as leader.
Edit: A computer glitch misreported Sender's age, because I had forgotten he had a bio already.

Mechwarrior Profile
Based on sibko testing records and upon interviews with her fellow warriors, it is our estimation that Star Commander Alexis Ward is being held back by her current placement. Assigned to the 3rd Jagers, a middle of the road, low prestige cluster to begin with, Alexis has been assigned an outdated mech and her advancement is limited by placement directly below the mediocre Star Colonel of her cluster.
Alexis is glad to be assigned an omnimech, even a dated one such as the Woodsman gives her a feeling of pride in a time and cluster where a mechwarrior is lucky to have a mech of clan construction much less a versatile omnimech. She can hardly agitate for a better assignment, since even inner sphere built omnimechs are a prize, but her woodsman does show it's age. Rho technicians have done their best to update the dated electronics of the mech, and it does not suffer from any debilitating quirks, but it would hardly be the first choice of most warriors.
Alexis suffers these limitations with dignity and patience, recognizing that there is more to being a warrior than advancing in rank. In his youth Her Star Colonel could have stood to learn from a warrior like her. Though she may not ascend in rank, she savors her every assignment to battle. In fact, at her level, she likely has greater access to the battlefield than those of loftier rank.
If she DOES wish to advance in rank, it is our estimation that her best chances lie in catching the eye of a star captain in the fifteenth, or another more prestigious cluster. She may also be able to obtain a better mech through trial as well. Or perhaps the battlefields that await may yield rich isola unto her. Taking a better mech as a trophy would certainly go far in proving her worth.

Josh Ward has attained the rank of Galaxy Commander, and now leads the entirety of Rho Galaxy from the Cobalt Keshik. Leaving the care and keeping of his former cluster in the capable hands of his successor Katrine Kerensky, Josh is focused on improving the quality of his keshik forces and on bringing up the level of quality in Rho’s other two clusters. The addition of a new trinary of hardened veterans to the 3rd Jaegers, is just one such improvement he has overseen.
He continues to pilot a Warwolf Omnimech, prefering the mobility that a heavy mech affords over an assault mech’s protective bulk. Likewise, he continues to favor the Alpha configuration, unable to find a combination of weapons he prefers more than the A config. If he does utilize another mech, it will likely be a design with considerations for force command, such as the Cyclops, Atlas or other such mechs designed to lead large forces.

I'm excited to see Rho is back on the prowl. Who will fall to them next?
-
to be honest, I'm probably going to have to invent a new threat, with how we still don't have ilClan, and they've fought pretty much everybody in reach
-
What about the Mariks and/or Clan Protectorate?

we'd have to go to them, i can't see why they'd strike across the terran salient to get us. where rho is at, the lyrans seem more likely save for what awful shape they're in.

An unknown force, presumed from mech makeup and our best hunches, to originate within either the fortress or republic remnant has begun raiding and disruption operations on Deep Fields. While the 15th Assault is away on raiding, and portions of Ya Galaxy are being reassigned to cover other targets within the Empire it falls squarely on the 3rd Jaegers and 5th Sentinels, along with Cobalt Keshik assistance to repel these attackers.
A new addition to the 3rd Jaegers, Star Captain Dwight Radick's 22nd Assault Trinary made a good impression by striking out on their own at the first sight of trouble and ripping a reinforced company of these invaders apart. The brutal counterattack made by the 22nd at a minimum of cost (losing only one warrior to an unfortunate incident involving the head of a Lobo and an ArrowIV missile, and some minor material losses) left little enough in the way of salvage, but a number of the raiders were obtained for our watch assets to interrogate and evaluate.
Unfortunately, the next clash between the 3rd Jaegers and these invaders was not nearly so successful. Star Captain Paterno Carns made a number of errors in his defense of the town of Chiquita, leading to the near total destruction of his binary, and the loss of the Keshik's Independent Operations Group. Only Watch Mechwarrior Christen, as well as St Cpt Paterno Carns, St Cmd Julietta Kerensky, and one other mechwarrior were able to make it off the field, and in the case of Christen, he arrived back at base days later without his Special Model Wulfen, stinking of things best left undescribed.
The loss of Chiquita is a minor but unfortunate blow to operations on Deep Fields and to larger Wolf Empire plans. Located in Chiquita, the invaders have seized control of a food processing plant used to produce combat rations, meals ready to eat, and dehydrated meal packets. Supplying both civilian outdoorsmen and military operations, this plant was being used to produce a stockpile (also located within the city limits) for future wolf operations. Even if retaken, the supplies there will have to be vetted for their safety and integrity, and there is the concern that the plant itsself will be sabotaged, and we will be forced to obtain supplies elsewhere. a food processing plant may seem minor compared to say, munitions or mech parts, but it is important to remember that even among the clans, an army travels on it's belly.

Upon returning to Wolf Empire territory from their raid upon Alhena, two messages were waiting for the warriors of the 15th Assault. The first was that Deep Fields was under attack, but the 3rd, 5th and Deep Fields Garrison Cluster were seen as sufficient to deal with the threat. The second was that word had it that the 15th Assault was making liberal use of mines, and this un-clanlike behavior could not stand. The 15th Assault was challenged to proceed to Solaris to face these allegations and defend themselves in a trial or forswear use of such barbaric weapons henceforth. Prosecuting these allegations are elements of CWF Be Galaxy.
Bidding was brief but vigorous among the commanders of the 15th, but ultimately as the one most slighted, and the one hungriest for the conquest, Jonathan Demos' Rogue Pack Alpha Star faced two stars from Be Galaxy's Platinum Keshik. Due to Nail's aggressive bidding, Jonathan faced 2:1 odds in this fight to uphold their honor.
The fight took place outside of Solaris City itsself, but was broadcast back to an audience gathered in the new Wolf's Den arena. The Den is an arena-sized holotank which displays fights from anywhere on the planet, no longer limiting mechwarriors to the knife fighting range of a solaris arena.
The first to fall, was a Platinum Keshik Mad Cat II, slain by the Rogue Pack's Mechwarrior Ashley. The Pack's artillerist, Ashley felt the scorn of the enemy mechwarriors and took great joy at dropping the first of their number. However, her jubilation was short-lived as a Tundra Wolf gutted her damaged Dire Wolf. These exchanges marked the start of a bloody chain of dominoes, mech after mech tumbling to the battlefield beneath. Hellstar slugged with Hellstar, pruning each other's weapons away. Jonathan himself felled the haughty Galaxy Commander, one Candra Hall, who brought the charges to bear upon the Fifteenth Assault. Before the Galaxy Commander's executioner could even hit the ground, Rosa slew the Gargoyle that opposed her.
Hungry for more, Jonathan turned his guns on a Keshik Night Gyr A, barely able to retalliate, the Night Gyr was decapitated before the vast majority of it's guns were brought into play. Rosa savaged the Tundra Wolf that took Ashley out of the fight, while the Hellstars withering barrage flayed amror and internals from one another. At Roughly the same time, Rosa would prevail over her Tundra Wolf foe, as Ludovic finished disassembling the Night Wolf that opposed him. Melody's Hellstar would ultimately triumph over the Platinum Keshik Hellstar piloted by Ristar Nicole Fischer, a particular point of pride on Melody's Codex.
Jonathan's third kill would come after several exchanges of fire with an upgraded Blood Reaper, while Rosa prowled around a Hel, gimping it. Ludovic continued, engaging a Platinum Keshik Orion IIc in honorable combat. His barrage knocked the pilot unconscious, and Ludovic held his fire, allowing his foe a chance to regain his footing. A Large Pulse Laser would peel the armor from the Orion's head, nearly separating Star Commander Ramelan Demos from his life. Cursing that the strike did not kill the star commander, Nail lamented how close he came at another opportunity to fight for a bloodname.
The final kill would come as Rosa finished off the battered hulk that was at one time a Hel, and the 15th's right to utilize whatever munitions they saw fit was upheld.
<Vic Romano> Welcome folks, to another exciting battle here on Solaris VII, the premier showcase for feats of skill and strength in the inner sphere. I'm your host Vic Romano, and with me as always is the illustrious Kenny Blankenship. We're broadcasting today from the Wolf's Den arena, a massive holotank capable of showcasing any battle location on the planet. Quite an impressive display of technology, isn't it Kenny?
<Kenny> Thats right Vic,almost as impressive as your ex wifes rack. This should prove to be more exciting than the match we saw with the nova cat agaisnt 4 combine stable warriors in ishiyama!
<Vic> Today we have a dog-eat-dog fight, as the Platinum Keshik of Be Galaxy faces off against Jonathan "The Keshik Killer" Demos' Rogue Pack.
<Kenny> Well the platinum keshik better BE good, eh see what i did there vic? *ignores the groans* The rogue pack has been known to take on some of the best of the best of the rest and keep asking for more. Rumor has it they're in trouble for their use of dezgra like tactics such as mines and arrow IV"
<Vic> They appear to be on their best behavior. I am told that one of the dire wolves usually sports the aforementioned Arrow artillery system, but I see no sign of it here today
<Kenny> My sources tell me she uses a configuration made famous by the HellRaisers when she duels, From what iv been told shes proven she can fight without her ArrowIV system.
<Vic> The Platinum Keshik's Heavy Star appears to be hanging back and letting their larger brethren do the heavy lifting. Prudent tactic, or just opportunism?
<Kenny> We'll they're fighting with Zellbriggen but my hunchs tell me they wanna be as close as they can if they get their turn so they can get in close and dirty. Speaking of dirty! This fight is sponsored by Mr Sparkle Laundry Detergent! If its dirty you can't be flirty! Mr. Sparkle!!
<Vic> You can see them pairing off into duels now.
<Kenny> Nothing like seeing the fans get more excited than a Surat on meth,Vic. They seem to really drink these clan duels like Timbiqui dark!
<Vic> The Terrain seems to be slightly holding back the Platinum Keshik's movement, this could play into the Rogue Pack's favor.
<Kenny> I was told the platinum Keshik specifically called out the Rogues saying they planned to uphold Keshiks everywheres honor. If the Rogue Pack wins they'll have almost as many wins against Keshiks as I have Nipples
<Kenny> Some real blows being deliverd by the Rogues! Seems like Melody knocked off half of the opposing Hellstars weapons!
<Vic> its payload halved, that hellstar is at a significant disadvantage here.
<Kenny> The rogues are fighting with a two on one disadvantage, what do you think will be the key to winning vic?
<Vic> Making the Platinum Keshik come to them seems to be working fairly well. Given their opposition this is less a batte of manouver, and more a brutal slugging match
<Kenny> Lets hope its less brutal than your Divorce settlement Vic! Both of the stars fighting have rushed up to each other but Jonathan is keeping his distance, Do you think thats because hes known for sniping?"
<Vic> Almost certainly. Even with the speed improvements that model of executioner sports, in this arena, Galaxy Commander Candra Hall is having a difficult time bringing its weaponry to bear
<Vic> I think the code of Zellbrigen is also going to be key to their victory. Unable to concentrate fire, the Rogues do not even have to worry about the heavy star yet.
<Kenny> and ashley gets the first kill of the round! what an awesome exchange, her mechs right arm for her opponents mech!! I also see we have a lot of fans of ashley holding up giant pictures of her are going more insane than my last girlfriend!
<Vic> We're reaching combat loss grouping here, the first keshik star is really beginning to crumble now
<Vic> And the Mad Cat II is avenged! The Tundra Wolf claims the Dire Wolf in the first exchange.
<Kenny> With ashley out the rest of the rogue pack are gonna have to work twice as hard! that means one of them has to get at least three kills!
<Vic> Telemetry indicates that it's naptime for the Orion IIC's pilot as well as the Blood Reaper's!
<Kenny> Someones having fun with the special effects! the same technology to project any kind of terrain is now making a Howling wolf project over Jonathans direwolf!! It looks mean vic! *hides under the table*
<Vic> And there you have it folks, the 15th Assault's Rogue Pack Alpha Star has vanquished two stars of the Platinum Keshik, vindicating through the sacred rite of combat, their right to... pretty much do whatever the hell they please.
In the aftermath of combat, it was revealed that there had been a wager between Star Colonel Katrine Kerensky, and Galaxy Commander Candra Hall. The Hellstar pilot within the Platinum Keshik, the Nicole Fischer whom Mechwarrior Melody humbled was reportedly an old Rival of Rho's now Galaxy Commander Josh Ward. According to sources on the inside, Provided that the Rogue Pack won, the Platinum Keshik would transfer Nicole to Rho's Granite Keshik, in return for a warrior out of Rho. Had the Pack lost, a star of assault mechs, and the pilots to operate them would have been forefiet from Rho's reserves. Fortunately, Katrine's faith in Jonathan and his star was well-placed.

Clan Watch Interrogation Methods yielded the location of the Command Company of the battalion of invaders operating in the 3rd's defensive region of Deep Fields. Following the extracted information, Dwight Radick's Trinary found them operating out of a civilian airfield. They enveloped the enemy commanders, caught off-guard by their sudden approach. Before long, the airfield was in wolf hands once again. Two interesting things were found in the buildings of the airfield, first, they were reunited with the 5 mechwarriors taken prisoner by these invaders. They reported fairly standard interrogation, which was resisted, and rough but not inhumane treatment following their non-compliance. While awaiting the arrival of chemical agents to enhance the interrogation, Dwight's trinary arrived and prevented the interrogation from going any further. None of their mechs were on site, nor did they know what had become of them. Second, it was obvious that extensive modifications had been performed to the communications equipment on site. The nature of these modifications is currently under inspection.
Meanwhile, Star Commander Julietta Kerensky challenged her Star Captain, Paterno Carns, to a Trial of Grievance over his handling of the last battle. Carns knew Julietta's preference for configuring her Arctic Wolf, and spent the entire battle out-ranging her. His Coyotl might have been far older than Julietta's Arctic Wolf II, but it outranged it and the battle did nothing to provide an outlet for her rage. Quite the opposite infact, humiliated by her defeat, frustrated by her inability to land a single solid hit, and worried about her fellow former exiles in enemy hands, Julietta left the trial more enraged than ever at her commander. The return of her men shortly after calmed her somewhat, and won Dwight a good deal of esteem. She remains compliant with Paterno's commands, but her distaste for the man remains evident.

Attacks on CWF Rho's position continue, this time, invaders out of a different battalion launched a raid on one of several strategic caches in place on Deep Fields. An invader assault company ran directly into where Star Colonel Catrin of the 5th Sentinels was defending. Her unit held fast at the choke point, and prevented all but one of the invaders from getting past. Showing little mercy or decency, the invaders executed an unconscious Mechwarrior Teresa in her atlas, sending the 5th Sentinels into a frenzy. The courtesy the invaders showed was repaid in kind, the company was ground to dust.
Save for one unit. A Phoenix Hawk IIc 7 had broken past the defenders and made a break for the strategic cache. Catarin dispatched her best gunner, Mechwarrior Lou, to pursue it. a grueling firefight ensued, wherein the Phoenix Hawk ran amok within the cache, setting half of it ablaze. Lou strove hard to hunt down the enemy mechwarrior, but the superior agility of the mech denied Lou many good shots at him. The enemy saboteur even lured Lou into position for an exploding fuel tank to batter his mech in a hellish fireball. Dark smoke choked the skies, a black flag denoting the wolves failure to successfully defend their cache. Even summoning a pair of recon VTOLs proved insufficient to end this reign of flame and terror.
Havoc sown, ammunition running low, the Phoenix Hawk IIc found itsself facing the Hellstar's guns. After the first satisfying salvo he was able to land, Lou offered the battered mech a chance to surrender honorably and submit to a bondcord. Despite how terrible they looked after this spree, despite the loss of their comrade, Lou felt that something could be salvaged if they could make this warrior a part of their clan. But the warrior declined the surrender, claiming Ghost Bear blood in his veins. He would only submit to the bondcord if he was shot down.
Lou obliged.
At the end of the day, with over 50% of the supply cache lost, no one was calling this a success. But, there was a silver lining to the immense smoky cloud that hung over the 5th Sentinels. Gill, their new bondsman, was willing to talk. They now had the location of the Republic Dropships that brought them to this planet. They now had confirmation that the raiding force was infact, republic troops from inside the Fortress as they suspected. They did not have the secret of bypassing the fortress wall, but they had confirmation that it was permeable.
Rumor has it that there is tension between Catarin and Lou over the issue of his new bondsman, that she is concerned he only capitulated in order to continue sabotage of the wolf position here on Deep Fields. The name "Judith Faber" may have come up in the ensuing discussion. It seems likely that Gill will primarily work for Lou, until he can prove himself worthy of having his cord severed. Lou points to the information provided, and his insistence on defeat as proof that the clan way is bred true within him, even if he is the product of a bear enclave within the republic.

In the wake of the Refusal War, Clans Wolf and Jade Falcon both launched a series of trials of possession upon other clans, in order that they might rebuild their shattered toumans. Nicole Fischer is the descendant of a line that traces its incorporation into Clan Wolf back to that time. Nicole's bloodline originated in Clan Blood Spirit, though they hold it non-exclusively, with Fischer warriors in Clan Jade Falcon as well. Her ancestor was harvested, and performed so well that she was allowed to trial the spirits for her breeding rights, a trial which succeeded.
The non-exclusivity of the bloodline allowed for it's continuance after the homeworlds were lost to us. Not a prominent bloodhouse, most of its warriors reside within Clan Jade Falcon. Nicole's own bloodname was won from the hands of a falcon, against falcons infact. This has made her something of a target, and if her identity on the battlefield is known, Clan Jade Falcon warriors have been known to target her, in an attempt to either capture or eliminate her and bring the bloodname home.
She has known Galaxy Commander Josh Ward since their sibko days. From the earliest, there has been an intense rivalry between them. We have the story from Katrine Kerensky, another long-time associate of the Galaxy Commander's. According to Star Colonel Kerensky, the rivalry dates back to an inter-sibko exercise in their teen years. Josh's Sibko class was pitted against Nicole's in what was to be a simulated mech battle utilizing outdated training mechs. Reportedly the battle turned unusually fierce for a sibko exercise, and wishing to see how fiercely their students would fight, their trainers did not step in to interrupt. The simulated battle grew rough when one of Nicole's starmates grew frustrated by the damage that had disabled their weapons. Instead of retreating as ordered, they rushed Josh's star, knocking unconscious one of Josh's starmates with a punch. Before the instructors could disable the punching mech, combined fire from Josh's star had disabled it through simulated fire.
But the fight did not end there, it spilled from the cockpits of the training hulks onto the grassy field below. The bluster of their trainers went unheeded as an all-out brawl consumed the two stars. It only ended after the offending mechwarrior who threw the first punch was unable to fight any further, and training staff finally reached the fracas. Reportedly it was difficult to tell who had been beaten harder, Josh or Nicole. Both required medical attention before their training could continue, and all involved were punished for how out-of-hand the melee got, including the trainers for letting things spiral out that far. New trainers were brought in, and attempts were made at socializing the two sibkos with one another, but tensions ran high, and even an attempt to encourage coupling between the sibkos as a bonding exercise nearly spilled over into another fracas. Ultimately, the two sibkos had to be kept apart during their training until they graduated.
Star Colonel Kerensky added, that Galaxy Commander Ward mentioned several other encounters with Fischer over the life of his career, varying from attempts to out-do one another to tense cooperation towards a common goal. They do not get along well, but neither are they enemies. Each encounter, she added, whether a friendly trial or competitive coupling, only seems to spur each of them on, adding to their desire to best the other.
With her reassignment from Be Galaxy over to Rho Galaxy, as part of Josh's Cobalt Keshik, it remains to be seen how they will work together once the 15th Assault returns from Solaris with her in tow. To capitalize on her sharpshooting strengths, a warhawk salvaged by Rho is being outfitted for her use. She will be assigned to the Independant Operations Group within the Keshik, warriors commonly dispatched to bolster other forces, work on behalf of Rho's Watch contingent, or back up the main star of the Keshik on the battlefield.

Warrior Profile
Star Captain John Kerensky exists in defiance of conventional wisdom about elementals and command positions. Most do not expect Elementals to rise high in the ranks of command, nor demonstrate prowess at command. He also defies the recent notion that the bloodhouse of Kerensky is in some sort of decline. The crafty nature and mind for command has bred true in John, and he has fought hard for his place in the clan. Noting that Elementals bred from general bloodlines rarely had a shot at claiming a bloodname, and taking advantage of the fact that he was on the small side for an elemental, he cross-trained in his spare time, learning to pilot a mech from the mechwarriors he served with. When he fought for his bloodname, he was able to keep his foes off balance by fighting in a mech, rather than a suit of elemental armor. He also successfully refused the notion that an elemental MUST fight in a suit of battle armor if they choose to fight augmented.
The Unit he commands is technically a binary composed of a mech/battle armor nova and a mech star. He has fought hard to keep his nova composed of omnimechs so that his fellow elementals may ride upon them. Despite his cunning and suitability for command, he has no design on wresting control of the 3rd from Star Colonel Andreus Sender. Watch Psychologists suspect that this is due to the lackluster reputation of the 3rd Jaegers. Plainly put, he sees himself destined for better things and higher ranks, and does not see the path to glory as leading through command of the Jeagers.
Due to his cross-training in mech piloting, his point has become proficient in recovering or liberating mechs.

Mechwarrior Profile
Star Captain Jonathan Demos has rapidly distinguished himself as one of the deadliest mechwarriors in Clan Wolf. He has moved from star command beneath Katrine Kerensky, up to commanding the assault trinary that he wrested from Martin Carns, which he has aggressively pushed for expansion into the most unusual nova that Clan Wolf has seen. Citing apparent precedent within the Hell's Horses and backing it up with his skill and firepower, Jonathan has forged his assault trinary into an Assault Supernova consisting of Mechs and Vehicles. With a star of Huitzilopochtli "AAA" variants, he brings innate artillery support back to the 15th Assault Cluster. Some have suggested that his Supernova is really a short cluster. Galaxy Commander Ward has debated attaching some elementals and aerospace assets and spinning it off into it's own cluster.
Due to his friendships with Galaxy Commander Josh Ward, Star Colonel Katrine Kerensky and Star Colonel Catarin, within the galaxy he is afforded nearly as much status and respect as if he were infact a Star Colonel. He has fought to expand his bloodhouse, earn Rho Galaxy it's proper supply allotment, earn Ya Galaxy official status, and defend Rho's use of alternative munitions and unconventional tactics. He and his unit have also taken a number of high profile bondsmen, in particular the former falcon saKhan Ryan Pryde and Mark Malthus from the Falcons' Turkina Keshik. Most recently he has brought to Rho Galaxy, Nicole Fischer, a rival of the galaxy commander. Not exactly a bondswoman, she retains warrior status but the situation is similar.
Of course, all of this prestige and power concentrated in one place guarantees that when the time comes to cry the hunt, his Supernova will bear the brunt of the 15th's burden, at the forefront of the fiercest fighting they encounter.

Attacks against 5th Sentinel Positions continue, resulting in what could have heralded the loss of the 5th's Security Trinary. Only a lucky disabling shot against the strike force leader (Believed to be a Republic Knight) bought them the chance to depart intact. Facing what would have been a bloody battle that would have decimated both units, the intruder's leader offered hegira to the security trinary. Normally, Star Captain Meltem(Dezgra) would never have approved this, but he was out of the battle, and unconscious when the time came. Star Commander Ismigul(Sohlama) accepted the chance to extract the unit, remaining mechs intact. The loss of the supply cache is mourned, but it is hoped that it shall be reclaimed.
a Headhunting unit, sized like a clan star and equipped with clan mechs, challenged the Cobalt Keshik to a fight. a brief yet brutal exchange occurred, with our Keshik coming out on top with three mechs still operational (if damaged) and no members of the assaulting force still capable of fighting. The only significant loss to the Keshik was Mechwarrior Urraca's Mist Lynx (which had not been working out well) This marks Urraca's second significant loss in not terribly many combats. Some have begun to wonder if he might find himself removed from the Keshik posting and find himself attached to a different unit if this keeps up. A Wulfen has been requisitioned to replace the Mist Lynx, The Galaxy Commander wishes to have a mobile scouting element in his star.

"Master Technician, come look at this." Technician Connor beckoned his chief over to take a look at the Orion IIc they had salvaged today.
"If this is about the smell, I assure you. One of our Extended Range Particle Cannons leaves nothing remaining of the former pilot. It is copper conduit you smell, not blood." Master Technician Ted replied with a sigh
"That is a comfort to know, but it is not what I have found. There is something wrong with this Orion."
"Yes Connor, the head is gone, and the right arm will require some attention as well. So why are you poking into the torso access?"
"Verification, Sir. The Diagnostic Suite complained of an unexpected engine, so I began investigating."
"Engines are replaced all the time, Connor. This one met some misfortune, that is all."
"It is NOT all, Founders damn it. The hatches are not right. The Structure within looks all wrong. I KNOW the Orion IIc, I passed my exams on one. Orion IIcs do not have a Vlar 300 class fusion plant, they have a Heavy Force 300. And look upon the support beam here. This is the same blend of Endo Steel utilized in that stravag quirky Savage Wolf prototype that Star Captain Ritter has claimed."
"Just what are you saying here, Connor? What does it matter what this Orion IIc has been repaired with? For it to be in hands other than a Wolf's, it would have had to have been repaired before."
"Respectfully, Master Technician, I do not think so. I believe this Orion IIc has never left the bounds of the inner sphere."
"Do you think that the Exiles have begun producing it? That would explain the non-standard parts. Look there, That bit of conduit is consistent with what we have found in many of these lyran caches..."
"I do not know what it signifies or who could be responsible, Master Tech, but I think we ought to investigate it."
"We have mechs to repair. We do not care where they come from. Do your job, restore the orion to operation."
"Aff Master Technician, I shall do my duty."
Connor did his duty, it was just that he had a different idea of what constituted duty than did the master technician. Returning to his portable terminal, he began composing a message.

Body:
In battle today, Galaxy Commander Ward brought down an Orion IIc that hints at something the clan at large may wish to bring its attention to. I have reason to believe this Orion IIc was produced somewhere other than strana mechty. The parts are almost entirely non-standard, and largely of spheroid or Sea Fox origin. The serial numbers do not conform to the schema employed on other equipment produced by the exiles. I believe someone should be made aware of this, and believe that your watch unit is the appropriate place to begin.

Twice now, the 5th sentinels have clashed with a warrior that they have identified only as "Connor". Piloting a new model of omnimech that previous salvage indicates is known as "Doloire". Appearing to be the leader of the force that decimated Meltem's Security Trinary, it was a surprise when he turned up weeks later, challenging whatever champion the 5th sentinels cared to name for information pertaining to mechs that had been lost in an earlier attack on Deep Fields.
Star Captain Ritter took up the challenge, meeting him in one of the 5th's better equipped heavy mechs, a customized Savage Wolf Prototype. Connor lured him in, almost feigning weakness or timidity. Ritter responded as befits a wolf, and moved to cull him, but found himself in Connor's trap. deadly accurate thanks to AES and packing quite a punch, Ritter took both barrels from a pair of capacitor-enhanced clan spec particle cannons. Wounded but not out, Ritter pursued his foe, the both of their mechs bleeding all over the site of the trial, until a near simultaneous takedown.
Ritter acknowleged his foe's skill and made the call that if he did not tell him anything, these probes would plague every cache they had, and informed Connor that there was no three-legged mech exceeding 100 tons in mass anywhere on Deep Fields. He also allowed Connor his freedom and to retain possession of his omnimech, stating that he enjoyed the battle and if he took either or both as isorla (as was his right) there would be no hope for a rematch.

Mechwarrior Profile:
Mechwarrior Rosa is one of the single angriest warriors in Rho Galaxy. Her good days are described as tempestuous at best, and on a bad day it is said that one can anticipate her coming by the way that lower caste members suddenly find themselves needing an actuator wrench they left across the compound, or remembering an urgent medical appointment, or a hotplate left on in their quarters. Not to her face, but it has been remarked that this phenomenon resembles remarkably the way that animals are seen to behave before an earthquake.
Though any who invoke the comparison to her face risk an impromptu trial of grievance for their observation, her demeanor has been compared to Joanna Jade Falcon in her younger years. Rosa is a mechwarrior filled with hate, driven by it, heated white hot by its intensity. As it seems to be working for her, no one has done anything to change this. The author of this database entry doubts that we could find a medtech foolhardy enough to attempt any manner of therapy. She freely remarks on these matters of her hate, expressing her passionate displeasure at everything from how "rho galaxy is just sitting on deep fields, waiting for something" to the insufficiency of the mess hall provisions, or even "the way Star Captain Conners keeps looking at her."
There WAS concern for this personality quirk, when the leadership of the Assault Trinary passed from Martin Carns to Jonathan Demos. Rosa appeared ready to foment revolt within the trinary and sieze her deposed star captain's position for herself. The late Martin Carns was one of her few allies in the world, and one of the few humans to whom she has ever been observed being pleasant. Fortunately for Star Captain Demos, his success in leadership has won her over. She is not necessarily PLEASANT, but she appears to respect and unhesitatingly obey her commander now that she has been won over.
This rage inside her manifests two ways on the battlefield, first a tendency to be an implacable foe and pursuer. Fleeing from her seems to generate more contempt than shooting at her ever could, and she is prone to pursue a damaged foe to it's destruction. Wagers exist on whether or not she remembers Hegira is even a concept. Secondly, she has been known to slip into a state of hyper focus in which she excels at targeting multiple foes.
Though one might not believe it after a write-up such as this, she has been observed to display a softer side. Not to humans, mind you, but to animals. Particularly animals of canine or similar makeup, she has been known to share her rations with local strays she encounters, and has even been observed administering first aid to injured strays. Due to her clan obligations she does not keep a pet, preferring to befriend whatever she encounters at a posting.

Despite the previously mentioned lack of ambition to seize higher rank, Katrine has found herself thrust into a command position. Though she feared that rising to a command rank would mean fewer opportunities for combat (and it has, compared to her position as a Star Captain) she has proven worthy of the rank. The 15th Assault has not suffered under her command, already accustomed to a high degree of independence and autonomy under Josh Ward, Katrine has continued this tradition. Transfers in from other units might find the relative independence she allows beneath her command a little unusual, but thus far it has meant a minimum of the politics, drama and headache that she feared the command would represent. With her in command, the 15th Assault might make an ideal unit for missions requiring a cluster to work alongside a spheroid unit. The relaxed governance should minimize the friction with unclanlike partners.
She seems to reassure herself that all signs point to the Clan aiming for an assault either on Terra or on major targets within the Lyran Commonwealth or Clan Jade Falcon Occupation Zone, and regardless of which they wind up targeting, the Fifteenth will be at the forefront of the fight, with plenty of glory to go around, from the lowliest mechwarrior all the way up to the commanding ranks.
Katrine has continued to pilot a classic Timber Wolf Omnimech, passing up chances to operate both a Savage Wolf and a Warwolf. Her fondness for the design is likely a large factor in why the 15th Assault and elements of the 3rd took it upon themselves to appropriate the Galatean Jade Hawk plant. Privately both Katrine and her galaxy commander have been warned against future adventurism of this sort, though due to the success of the mission, no punishment was issued.

Engaging in combat with representatives of Clan Sea Fox, Star Commander Alexis Ward and her star fought to win the specifications, schematics and code to produce the Khan Series Type 6c Communications Suite. Utilized on the Savage Wolf produced by Clan Sea Fox, this commsuite is an evolution of the suite employed by the Timber Wolf Omnimech, and Rho Galaxy desired it for their efforts in reestablishing production of the Timber Wolf on solaris. Additionally, once production begins on the slightly-modified Khan Series Type 6r Suite, Rho Galaxy Warwolves and handbuilt Timber Wolves will receive an upgrade to the Khan Series Type 6r.
The battle was an orderly affair, in which Zellbrigen was cleanly observed by both sides, and hegira was granted to both a Sea Fox stormcrow and grand summoner, and Rho Galaxy's losses were heavy damage to a Sun Cobra chassis, and a close call that nearly slew Yohannes in his Tundra Wolf. The head of said Tundra Wolf will require replacing, and Yohannes is recuperating from the close call.

So, so happy to see a new post on this thread. I always love hearing about Rho's adventures.

Keshik-attached Gunslinger, Mechwarrior Nicole Fischer was defeated in a duel with a Clan Sea Fox warrior, in a bid to sweeten the pot with the Savage Wolf's Series XIV OPT Targeting and Tracking Suite. Attributing the failure in part to the borrowed Executioner F in place of her still-being-restored Warhawk, it was never the less an underwhelming debut for Nicole within Rho Galaxy.
With her loss, the plans for the Series XIV OPT T&T Suite are out of reach. However, Clan Sea Fox is offering a reasonably acceptable deal on obtaining the Series V OPT suite, formerly used on the Linebacker. This is still an upgrade from the Series III OPT on the original Timber Wolf, yet directly compatible. Reportedly, these schematics and examples come from the destroyed Arc Royal linebacker production line.

The Cobalt Keshik and the 3rd Wolf Jaegers cluster have traveled to the planet Carsphairn inside the Lyran Commonwealth, formerly a Republic world. Most importantly, home to a primarily wolf clan enclave. CWF Rho Galaxy forces grounded on in North Teslia, where the enclave is located.
Defending this enclave they found a cobbled together sohlama force and under-funded sibko. A challenge was issued, pitting Star Captain Paterno Carns' star, as well as Julietta Kerensky's star and Dobry's sohlama security star against both binaries. Honorable battle ensued, the two wolf packs trading blows and testing one another. Determined to prove themselves, the Carsphairn Wolves fought quite fiercely and when Star Captain Lizbeth of the sohlama binary shot Paterno Carns' Dervish out from under him the battle was declared ended in favor of the Carsphairn Enclave.
Galaxy Commander Josh Ward made them an offer. Their defense of their home had been both honorable and impressive and it was exactly the sort of thing he would like to see more of in the Wolf Empire. Rather than continue to starve and be viewed with suspicion by the people of Carsphairn, the Wolf Empire would absorb them with honors, adopting their lower castes as well as the warriors. For her shining performance in the battle, Star Captain Lizbeth would be offered command of a provisional unit under Rho's Aegis. She would do what she had always done, in defending the Enclave, but now she would do it with the backing of Clan Wolf behind her. Properly. Star Captain Lizbeth requested a moment to discuss the matter with Trainer Star Captain Gonn of the sibko unit, and their lower caste peers.
During these negotiations, word was received of two new (and near simultaneous) arrivals in system. Clan Jade Falcon, and the LCAF had both arrived at Carsphairn. How they had both known Rho Galaxy would be there and arrived so quickly was a bit of a concern, but it was useful. With their arrival, the Carsphairn Enclave Wolves were far more receptive to the Empire's offer and they were integrated.
A modest addition of combat strength, the real profit was in the Enclave's resources. Those lower caste personnel experienced in Clan Ways. Their Iron Wombs and Genetic Data. Their technical and labor personnel. The trick now would be holding these against the falcons circling overhead, and the Lyrans who viewed this as incursion against their territory.
-
Battle on Carspharin continues, probing attacks by Clan Jade Falcon being rebuffed by forces from the 3rd Jaegers, and a probe-in-force by the Lyran-controlled Mercenaries being smashed wholesale by the Cobalt Keshik's Command Star and Independent Operations Group star.
Following this battle, Josh Ward conducted a bit of minor reorganization within the Cobalt Keshik. Under the old order, the concept for the Keshik was a diverse star spanning the weight classes, rarely fighting as a single unit together. Josh is aiming to increase the skill level to what one expects from a Keshik as well. With his Brand New wulfen significantly damaged in the opening moments of the fight, Mechwarrior Urraca has been transferred out of the Keshik's core trinary, into the administrative forces attached to the Keshik, within their independent operations group. Replacing Urraca in the Keshik's command star, comes Gunslinger Mechwarrior Nicole Fischer, and her Warhawk. Seeing how much better she performs at the controls of her Warhawk, Josh Ward commented that they would have to make a point of contacting either VEST, the Sea Foxes, or the mechaDynamics corporation in order to ensure that her Warhawk would remain in operational status despite its rarity.
As for Mechwarrior Urraca, there has been some talk of possibly placing him in a heavier mech when they rejoin the whole of Rho Galaxy, potentially the captured Templar in galaxy stores. This would allow him the honor of retaining an omnimech, and a chance to go far heavier to see if light mechs were just a poor fit for him. If he fails in an assault mech as well, it could spell unfortunate things for his career.

Galaxy Commander Niels Carns of Episilon Galaxy reached out to Star Captain Jonathan Demos of the 15th Assault. In his role as Garrison commander of the Wolf Empire capital of Gienah, Niels Carns is in command of more than just planetary defense. Among these roles is overseeing the management and distribution of war materials to clan units in need. So, when Star Colonel Krystal Vickers out of the 5th Battle Cluster, Alpha Galaxy demanded satisfaction in combat over what she saw as an unsatisfactory position in the supply queue for the premier galaxy of clan wolf, Niels Carns exercised the priviledge his position affords him and named Jonathan Demos his champion.
Truth be told, Carns was hoping that the very act of naming Jonathan his champion would discourage Krystal. Either due to the Ristar's fearsome reputation (a reputation Carns himself had been the recipient of) or the inconvenience of meeting his champion on the Trial World of Solaris. Vickers, however, proved to be too feral to be discouraged in such fashion. The battle between stars was joined.
The opening trash talk was swiftly silenced by Krystal's failures to land a hit on House Demos' brightest light, coupled with the devastating amount of firepower he poured into her Mad Cat II's hardened armor. It proved little more than a durable coffin for Vickers, who soon had a brief nap and perhaps preview of her ultimate fate. She would return to consciousness for less than a minute before her reinforced cockpit would be vaporized by Demos' Extended Range Large Pulse Laser. The rest of her star withered under the fierce assault delivered by Rho Galaxy's loaned assaults.
In the end, the 5th Wolf Battle Cluster reaped only the whirlwind, and will be enduring a bit of reorganization in the wake of these events. For his participation, it is rumored that Jonathan Demos requested a tribute of beer, specifically Timberki Dark, a solaris-brewed imitation of the classic Timbiqui Dark, bearing a Timber Wolf Omnimech upon the label, along with a rumor about ilKhan Ulric Kerensky's desire for the Timbiqui Dark brewery. The favor of an influential Galaxy Commander is nothing to be scorned either.
