Capellan Confederaton national Census
Andurien Commonality
Periphery
1st December 3113 As part of the national Census of the Capellan Confederation officials announce that they will officially recoignise the worlds of Ichangis, Fjadr, Bringdam, Ryans Fate, Enkra, Mechdur and Zangul all along the Taurian Concordat/Fronc Reaches all of which will be opened to visitors and immigration for the first time. While all the systems had been inhabited for years they had officially not been registered as they had extremely small populations.
The Capellans announce that further relocations of the nation’s population will take place in the following months to boost these worlds economy and improve the economy of other worlds. They also announce plans for the system of Victoria to once again be recoignised as a Commonality Capital within the next two years as more worlds are brought back into the Capellan Confederation.
Rebel assault
Wallis, District of Regulus
Free Worlds League
12th December 3113 Jocoam “Jake” Chowla was hated his new BattleMech he’d captured it from the Whispers of Blake for this assault it weighed in at seventy tons had three particle cannons, a gauss rifle and a retractable blade but it was uncomfortable to sit in. The space designated for the cockpit was tiny and had a weird interface that he wasn’t able to use instead he sat uncomfortably in the Mech waiting for the Whispers guards to allow him to enter their base.
This plan was more than two weeks in the making and he didn’t plan on messing it up now. Behind him were his two Mechs and three vehicles making up their “patrol unit” he didn’t like the idea of a unit being divisable by 6 but that’s what the Whispers employed just like the Word of Blake so he’d play along. In the hills around them the rest of the Chaos Irregulars and local militia were waiting for his signal.
Finally, the guards allowed him and his companions to enter. Jake stepped his Mech forwards through the large metal gates as they opened and stopped allowing his companions to enter first, he knew it wouldn’t take long for the Whispers to realise that the Mechs that had accompanied his Mech were not the same that left. Across the courtyard of the Whispers fire base Jake saw several troopers running into a hut before running out carrying portable short-range missile launchers while others began climbing into several vehicles. “Operation Code: GAMES UP!” Jake shouted a warning firing all three of the torso mounted particle cannons into the hut where the troopers had gotten their heavy weapons consuming it in weapons fire. Behind him the gate began closing again but Jake wasn’t about to allow his force to be contained instead he spun his BattleMech’s torso bringing the left arm and its retractable blade down on the door bisecting it. He then kicked out with his seventy ton Mech’s foot slamming into the gate knocking the broken part to the ground below infantry began to pepper his Mech with small arms fire but he ignored them he wasn’t outfitted to engage them instead he spun his Mech’s torso again and levelled the right arm at a barracks facility firing the gauss rifle into it knocking in one of the walls. The Gauss rifle itself wasn’t an explosive weapon using force and speed to cause the damage which was what he needed making the building accessible without destroying it. Around him it was chaos as his lance mates continued to fire on enemy forces out of the back of a Goblin Infantry Fighting Vehicle infantry troopers began to spill out of the back as the vehicle crew covered them firing its machine guns and pulse laser. Unlike the vehicle which had been repainted white for this operation the infantry wore their Chaos Irregulars uniform.
From the Mechbay a seventy-five ton Toyama stepped clear of the facility firing its arm mounted autocannon and lasers only to be hit by by Jake’s particle cannons and several large lasers, missiles and autocannons from Jake’s companions as they all ganged up on the heavy Mech cutting it to pieces in a ferocious display of combined fire. Jake turned the gauss rifle on the target and hit it again adding in the particle cannons again as the enemy Mech fell. “Infantry clear out the buildings find our people!” He snapped “Wolf to Sheepdog, we’re in begin assault.”
“Sheepdog to Wolf, we’ve engaged the Whispers nearly ten kilometres from the base they had people out and about. Assault force delayed on rendezvoux. Mission outcome unknown.”
“Wolf, I’m not giving up now. Get here when you can we’ll hold them up!” Jade shouted angrily at the militia man he hadn’t expected to find more Whispers in the field most of them in this area were supposed to be in their base. As he fought determinedly to keep the enemy off balance several missiles slammed into his Mech the last one carried an inferno warhead which exploded covering his Mech in flaming liquid. “Son of a…” Jake screamed angrily firing his Mech’s particle cannons into the group of infantries as he swiped at the Mech’s chest with his retractable blade cutting away much of the liquid away from his Mech but still the heat was still rising. “I need some help here!” He shouted a warning his Mech had no explosive ammunition but the gauss rifle could be a bomb itself it things got really out of hand.
Fortunately for Jake several of the infantry had been paying attention to his plight and had commandeered a Saurer-Bucher fire fighting vehicle and were already dousing his in coolant it wasn’t perfect but it was helping. Jake paid them back by hitting a Whispers of Blake Saracen Hovertank his gauss rifle shot went straight through the hovertank causing its explosive ammunition to explode consuming the craft in fire. The infantry forces in the fire fighting vehicle continued to cool his Mech extinguishing the flames. “Thanks boys!” He shouted stepping away from them engaging a Whispers of Blake Ghurka BattleMech flattening the light BattleMech with his assault.
“Wolf, we’ve got the Colonel and Aletha along with thirty that is three-zero other combants we’re extracting to transport!” One of the squad leaders reported
“Commandeer whatever you need we’ll cover!” Jake responded anxious to ask how Aletha was after she’d been shot out of her Mongoose fighting the Whispers. Off to his right the Argus that was in his lance exploded as another Whispers of Blake Mech jumped over the compound fences landing on its left shoulder slamming the sixty-ton Mech into the floor as it exploded. “Com’on!” Jake shouted turning on the newly landed Wraith BattleMech it was smaller than his Mech and faster it was also armed with a series of pulse lasers that lashed out at this Mech bathing it in glowing light as more than a ton or armour vapourized.
Jake twisted his Mech’s torso towards the Wraith and unleashed all three particle cannons adding in his gauss rifle as it came in line. Two of the particle cannons sizzled by the rounded armour Mech while the third slammed into its head melting the armour there. Jake had been in a Mech after suffering a head hit and actually felt a little sorry for the pilot just as his gauss rifle slug slammed into its right leg. The heavy damage caused the pilot to lose control and fall over. Jake turned to finish off the Wraith only for a particle cannon shot to slam into his back burning through torso armour and internal structure ruining one of the particle cannons. “Get the hell out of here PBIs!” He shouted angrily as the fire truck, two Bruno II Cargo trucks and a Pit Bull flat bed pulled out following the Goblin clear of the base. Jake saw one of his lancemates run over to the Wraith that was beginning to get back up and swing out with its armoured fist. The BattleMech hand went straight through the Wraith’s already damaged head armour crushing the pilot inside. Jake didn’t like to see MechWarriors execute other MechWarriors like that but he’d seen a lot of the Chaos Irregulars killed in the last few days and he didn’t think it was over yet.
Turning he saw a Whispers of Blake Puma combat vehicle engage them again with its particle cannon and long-range missiles showering the Goblin with fire. The Infantry Fighting Vehicle stood up to the fire and returned fire with its own pulse laser but it couldn’t hold off attack from the larger vehicle for long. “I promise you the BattleMech running at you is a bigger threat” Jake cursed running at the combat vehicle hitting it with both of his particle cannons as he ran, he’d used some of his gauss ammo already and didn’t plan on wasting shots. The Puma engaged again with LRMs and the particle cannon this time bypassing the Goblin hitting the a Saurer-Bucher fire fighting truck which immediately blew up, the civilian vehicle wasn’t designed with such an attack in mind. “You ********!” Jake cursed continuing his charge hitting the tank again as he closed range bringing the gauss rifle up for a near point blank shot. Gauss rifles weren’t designed to be fired this close but today he didn’t care and watched the slug slam through several plates of armour as the slug hit it at supersonic speeds. He then kicked out with his right leg kicking through the Puma’s tank tread before spinning the Mech’s torso putting the retractable blade through its top armour. Internal exlosions were going off as Jake retracted the blade looking around, he realized in his rage that his convoy and both surviving lancemates had moved nearly off the battlefield downing three more Whispers of Blake units as they did forcing the rogue unit back. Jake took one look at the Saurer-Bucher before turning to join the other survivors “sorry guys, I owed you better, you saved my ass. I’ll save your planet, I promise you.” He said finally before following the other Chaos Irregulars. The Whispers of Blake were now on the backfoot, they weren’t beaten on Wallis but for the first time in this fight they weren’t on top of the pile.
While things turn on the side of the FWL on Wallis elsewhere in the nation Districts square off against each other in several systems as they blame each other for the blakes began by the former Word of Blake warriors. On several worlds line regiments of different districts fact of for the first time since the reformation of the Free Worlds League only for calmer heads to prevail and stand forces down before full blown hostilites erupt.
Mechfactory floor, Bay 4B
Wolf City, Gallery
Halfway Province, Lyran Commonwealth
22nd December 3113For maybe the hundredth time since assuming a leadership role Scientist General Riko Danvers escorted Halfway Province Duke Robert Linius through the Wolf City showing him what the remains of Clan Mountain Wolf had created on the world. Recently they had added two new “Gallery Defenders” Clusters to their defence force which was mostly just Combat Vehicles supported by infantry. But today was a more important day for today they would be able to show the Lyran Commonwealth a new toy “designed and built” entirely on Gallery by his Wolves and ready to serve the Commonwealth or at least that’s what he would be telling this Lyran leader he didn’t need to know that they’d had help with it or where the design had originated.
“Allow me to present you the Kharon Heavy Cavalry BattleMech.” He said showing the Duke the new humanoid BattleMech. “With enough speed to out maneuver any assault Mech on the field it will provide mobility for your forces.” He promised the Mech could reach 86kph nothing too special for a heavy Clan Mech but far more than any assault Mech could reach. “Two Extended Range Large Lasers provide the reach to strike enemy units are mounted on the right side replacing most of the right arm and shoulder assemblies.” He said pointing out the two large laser weapons that dominated that side of the Mech. “A heavy-duty gyroscope provides additional stability to balance out these weapons” he explained seeing the duke look at the weapons the heavier Gyro also hid some of the electronics that his scientists had imbedded in the Endo Steel Hull. “Two long range missile launchers on the left side complement the lasers and allow for indirect bombardment, minefield laying and other support missions. While a medium pulse laser, a targeting computer and ECM suite round out the Mech’s offensive and defensive capabilities.” He explained
“So, it’s a Mad Cat in a hull five tons lighter?”
“Not quite”
“But still a capable heavy model we can well to the Lyran military?”
“Yes, WE can” Danvers said “other than the Gyro the technology involved is Clan based. However, we can also accommodate Inner Sphere technologies that are desired.”
“Excellent work Danvers, I can see why we allowed you to stay here. I want a Kharon in my personal guard.” The Duke said quite enjoying the idea of having a new Mech to share with the Commonwealth.
“You can have this one”
“Excellent does it come in red?”
“I’m sure our techs can paint one in that colour” Riko Danvers said looking at the Lyran wishing he could do something else with the Kharon which would make a red colour mainly out of the Duke at the moment. The man was a necessary evil for his Mountain Wolves but he’d use him for as long as he’d need him and having one of his Mechs as part of the planetary guard wouldn’t hurt.
“Excellent, excellent what else do you have for me?”
“We have housed another four hundred-and-twenty refugees in sector three.”
“Something interesting Danvers, you handle these new people well I’m happy for you to educate them and put them to work.” Duke Robert Linius said as they walked deeper into the facility.
