Hubart Dickens was a member of the Acer's Hueys for nearly 4 decades.
Originally piloting the technologically advanced Blackjack, carrying double heat
sinks, Hubart grew accustomed to warfare as only an assault pilot can. His
abilities as a pilot and gunner improved dramatically after only a few years with the
team.
In 3039, the Hueys were employed by House Kurita to destroy a small band of
pirates in the Labrea system. Teaming with Llana's Breakers, another small unit,
the Hueys were convinced they could seek out and defeat the pirates. Things went
sour shortly thereafter, with the Breakers discovering the enemy pirates vastly
outnumbered the mercenaries units combined. After a brief battle on Kerrigan's
Cove, the Llana's Breakers unit was completely destroyed.
The Hueys team deployed their assault lance in a desperate search for survivors.
Hubart was the first Huey to encounter pirate forces. After separating from the
others to investigate an area of burning forest, Hubart found his Mech swarmed by
pirate infantry jump troops. He used his 45 ton machine's arsenal to the best of his
abilities, but his skills were not enough. After killing 3 of the jump troopers,
Hubart's cockpit was breached by small arms laser fire. He was able to orient
himself well enough to retreat, but a single trooper remained on his cockpit's
ferroglass. The pirate was able to shoot Hubart through the breach, and Hubart
lost the lower portion of his arm. As a result, Hubart lost control of the machine,
which fell to the ground. Luckily, the pirate jump trooper was crushed in the fall.
Eventually returning to the rest of the assault lance, Hubart and the others made
an immediate withdrawal to their Dropship.
Hubart regained the use of his arm after surgically receiving a Mod IV limb
replacement. His piloting and gunnery skills crippled, Hubart was still re-learning
how to use his Mech during his final years with the team. He was hopeful of the
future, and remained optimistic about the Hueys returning to the mercenary scene
as a licensed unit for hire. He was one of the first to shout out his relief upon
hearing the verdict of innocent by the Mercenary Review Board on Outreach in
3067. The victory was short-lived for Hubart though, who was caught up in a
protest shortly after Acer's Hueys were reinstated with a new mercenary license.
The protests had turned violent, and Hubart and a few of his teammates were
among the many Mechwarriors targeted by the crowd's rage. Hubart was fatally
struck in the head just before boarding a Knox Armored Car with the rest of his
team. Because of the severity of the situation and the unrelenting mob's continued
violence, his body was not recovered. He has been officially classified as Missing
In Action, but his teammates agree that he was undoubtedly killed after witnessing
the severity of the blow he'd suffered to his head.
