Actually, Flurries were disposable clusters made up of old old equipment- some not even fully functional- mostly conventionals and manned by below-grade or political pariahs. You can wedge them between the regular touman and the paramilitary police units. Its one of the few little things I liked about Hellions, enough to where I fluffed the Scorpions creating a 'sandstorm' unit to test protos without adjusting the main touman before they officially accepted them.
The pack tactics of the lights are another story.
Still, the formation of the touman will be interesting . . . if you are from Hellion stock, will you be piloting the light & mediums that are 6/9 or faster? Will Scorpions get the energy and AC armed slow heavy & assaults? Aside from the Commando IIC (which goes 6/9, hello Hellions!) will missiles be less represented in the Imperio's forces? Will the local freebirths be put in units that do not fit either of those groups preferences? When will the Hellion/Scorpion division fade? Will it, will freebirth cease to be a stigma?
Did the locals have mercs in their employ? did they survive? how would the Imperio veiw them?
Anyone know what their production look like? I mean the gear is pretty eclectic- Primative/3025 from the locals, Star League, IS/WoB battlemechs, Clan secondline and frontline Omni. Anywhere they have RATs posted?
Do we even know what they might have in production?
