Self defense with it turned out everything they could throw at the Dragon's Fury.
Three of the heavy APCs on site had been turned into SP Guns mounting UAC/5s. The Bolla Stealth Tank had a Gauss Rifle put in the turret, which is one of the weapons NETC has quite a few of and can easily produce ammunition. Some of the ammunition stocks and rocket components were turned into impromptu minefields to cover the defensive position's flanks, this turned out to be a key factor.
The Dragon's Fury was turned back with the loss of a Bellona hovertank (minefield blew the skirts), DI Morgan Assault Tank (mines, Jenner attacks immobilized and opened up a side), and a Centurion B Omni that was already missing its HPPC arm took over 100 points of damage as the Fury were retreating. 3 Gauss Rifle strikes, a UAC/10 double tap, 2 Clan ERLL, other lasers, missiles and LBX pellets ripped off the legs, breached the side torsos (engine kill was first) and Meghan Bruce destroyed the head with a IS ERLL hit from her Shockwave. The elite Bellona crew was recovered by Dragon's Fury SAR while the DI Morgan's veterans were captured by security Ogres. Dragon's Fury forces were moderately damaged overall though it ranged from the CO's Grand Dragon which was untouched to the Marauder 9M2 which had lost one arm and nearly the other along with torso damage.
NETC Security took losses as well, the Centurion managed to connect several times with its HPPC, the most devastating strike was to the cockpit of the armed ConstructionMech (bit of overkill), one of the converted tracked heavy APCs was also destroyed though some crew survived. The Marauder II 6D mod took heavy damage- open torso, 1 engine hit, armor into the yellow- but was the anchor the Fury focused fire on yet put out a lot of damage. The Bolla Stealth Tank, which for some reason I could not get the Stealth to work in MM and thus a fun quirk, took moderate damage from a hull down position- turret and glacis armor into the yellow. The Jenner IIC 4 which harried the column of assault tanks moving down the road (slowing each by at least 1 MP, so 3/5 to 2/3) ended up with several gauss slugs in its direction among other things. One took off a arm with its ATM launcher while missile and lasers damaged its legs, it ended the fight as barely moving scrap but kept 4 assault tanks off the defensive line with the assistance of minefields.
So even with the win, the only thing that can be made immediately operational from salvage would be the Bellona. The Centurion is definitely a hanger queen, and the DI Morgan can be made operational but . . .
To start with there were only 19 tons of various armor to start with (Std, FF, HFF, LFF) and no Clan FF which the Jenner requires. No future source of armor is readily apparent and the ability to produce tons of it at the site is really in question. Not taking place in this fight was the Wolverine II 7H, as that pilot fought the Marauder II 6D mod, so the Jenner pilot is not dispossessed.
It will be determined on rolls to see if the Dragon's Fury force is intercepted and if so any losses. The political situation on Lyons is coming to a head and if it breaks out into fighting everyone will want to claim the NETC storehouses . . . and the defenders are in bad shape.
