BattleTech FanFiction Tribble Emporium 3: It's a Trilogy!

#1011

Ian Davion kills Yorinaga Kurita in 3013. With the combine beat back, for the moment, Ian and Hanse turn their attention to the Capellan Confederation. Michael Hasek's treachery is uncovered and is deposed as a result of this attention. Ian then places Hanse in charge of the Capellan March until Morgan comes of age. Hanse ends up marrying a member of the Hasek household (Michael's sister Rebecca maybe?)

Hanse suggests an alliance with the Free Worlds League to finally crush the CapCon. The FedSuns would claim Epsilon Eridani, Tikonov, Sarna, St. Ives, Grand Base, Menke, while the FWL would claim everything "west" of that line.

That could set up quite the Fifth Succession War, with the FWL selling weapons to Davion for firm borders.

#1012

Thaddeus Marik II(?) catches wind of a Lostech prospector named Johan O’Reiley in the Periphery who stumbled upon an ungodly amount of Germanium.

The FWL decides to either annex the fledgling Bandit Kingdom as a tributary state or take over the area whole sale.

#1013...

Maximilian Liao examines a plan to replace the First Prince of the Federated Suns...and rejects it as too complicated!

Instead, he focuses on a much more feasible plan for crippling his nation's long hated rivals-he focuses on industrial redevelopment efforts on the periphery border, as far from the Davions as possible, and economic and technology exports to the Taurians, along with a more-than-healthy dose of anti-Fedsuns propaganda.

This is a much more feasible strategy, than trying to physically replace an enemy leader with a half-assed duplicate.

Seems a bit far-fetched

Dang it, there used to be an emoji for "TOO FUNNY!"... I'm missing that one especially right now... ;D

#1014

The clans who lost the bids to take part in the first waves of Operation REVIVAL are rather miffed, as their chances for glory and honor will be slim pickings by the time their time to invade comes. Hell, the invasion may be over within a year or two if the first wave is too successful.

So the remaining Clans clandestinely work to invade right after the first wave arrives, allowing them to roll the die for the chance at becoming Ilclan and reforming the Star League in their image.
