Wall of Steel: Hatamoto-chi

Art by Kat Wylder. The Kusga Leapers of Labrea are a unique species which use their leafy disguise to fool their prey. Rather than attacking the prey directly, the Kusga Leapers draw larger predators to the prey and then scavenge from the remains. Their partners in this grisly task are the large Dranteen aegis - a large type of carnivorous mantis-type creature who are infamous for their large blade-shaped forelegs.

As the mercenary unit stepped up attacks against their Blakist foes, the Blakists found occasional chances to carry out headhunting attacks. The Strikers carried out several Mech campaigns against the Blakists, while the Blakists struck with new infantry attacks.

Strider's Strikers is a mercenary band composed of veterans, retired bandits, various House misfits, Warden warriors of Clans Nova Cat and Steel Viper, solahmas, and bondsmen. One of the few units to gather Inner Sphere tactics with Clan warriors, the Strikers grew from an unsupported lance into a regiment-sized team over their first 7 years. The unit was selected by Nova Cat Khans to bridge the gap between Clan and Inner Sphere doctrine. It adopted several Clan members to create a joint fighting force with a unique warrior mix. Strider's Strikers subcontract Acer's Hueys and the Crusaders, two company-sized mercenary units. Acer's Hueys is an elite unit formed in 3022. The Crusaders is an offshoot of the Knights of the Inner Sphere and was formed in 3056 by ex-Knights. Both smaller units also work independently.

The Story of BattleTech...

BattleTech is an ongoing science fiction story. Here is a quick summary to bring you up to speed if you are unfamiliar with BattleTech.

In the year 2571, mankind united to form an interstellar government. This was called the Star League. The Star League included the 5 major political parties of the Inner Sphere or central universe; including The Lyran Commonwealth (controlled by House Steiner), The Capellan Confederation (controlled by House Liao), The Federated Commonwealth (controlled by House Davion), The Free Worlds League (controlled by House Marik), and The Draconis Combine (controlled by House Kurita). Leading these political parties as the First Lord was the Cameron family. A vision of Ian Cameron, the Star League was the dream of bringing all of humanity towards a common goal. Though most found the Star League an acceptable governing system, those planets of the outer rim of the universe, the Periphery planets, deemed the Star League's reincarnated noble system as unacceptable. They refused to accept the Star League system of rank, as well as its rulers. The Star League did not accept these smaller Periphery political sectors as separate entities, and so they began to fight and conquer these nations. Weapons of this war included the newly invented BattleMech or Mech. These BattleMechs were walking, piloted tanks, carrying advanced weapons and incredible armor. This war lasted nearly 200 years, with neither side really gaining on the other. The BattleMech war finally ended and nearly 10 years of peace followed. The throne then belonged to Richard Cameron, a young man struggling to mature into his position of First Lord of the Star League. Richard developed a close friendship with one of his subjects, Stefan Amaris - the ruler of the Outer Rim Alliance. Stefan revealed his true intentions in 2766, after manipulating the young First Lord and setting the stage for his own act. Amaris and his followers began attacks on over 100 of the Star League ruling planets, while at the same time slaughtering the First Lord and taking the position himself. Stefan's master plan was successful and the largest portion of the Star Leagues Armed Forces lay in defeat after suffering traps and terrorist attacks. The Armed Forces General, Aleksandr Kerensky, gathered his remaining troops and began his retake of Terra. After defeating Stefan Amaris, the coming political battle amongst the House leaders was apparent. Kerensky gathered what troops would follow him and left known space. As the Inner Sphere Houses began to battle for the First Lord throne, all peace between the five Houses was lost. New war broke out...
