Mace Volt
Comstar Veteran
Comstar Veteran
Mace Volt was born on Terra in 3026. The son of a strict Comstar Acolyte, young
Mace was forced to mature quickly. In the traditional fashion, Mace was initiated
into Comstar at age seventeen. It was in 3048 when he decided to join the Com
Guards and enlist for a Mechwarrior position. After months of practice, he became
skilled at targeting. Lacking a natural sense of piloting, Mace's tryout proved
unworthy. Luckily young Volt had "inherited" his father's stubbornness. He
studied up for several months, then applied his skills a second time. Mace blew his
competition away, except for one Marc Lucas. Lucas's performance tied that of
Volt's. Mace soon reached a new goal, to win every possible confrontation with his
new rival, Marc Lucas.
Soon thereafter, the two were called to duty in the Battle of Tukayyid. Taking
positions in the 121st Division of the Com Guards First Army, both newbies faced
incredible odds against Clan Ghost Bear. The unit was shattered only two days
after engaging the superior Clan firepower. Volt survived, hiding along a small
riverbed while Clan forces marched past his fallen Owens.
Meeting Lucas hours later, the two worked together, as best they could, to find
their way to a friendly area. After many miles of hiking, the Mechwarriors found
themselves in the midst of a dying battle. The Ghost Bears had met their match,
the Com Guards 91st and 12th Divisions. The two pilots hitched a ride on a Padilla
Heavy Artillery Tank. After camping in the nearest drop zone, the two left
Tukayyid on the next Dropship outbound.
Facing disgrace from the public and one-time friends, Mace was enraged with his
situation. Centering on his political status, he convinced his superiors into giving
him an Adept position. Unfortunately, Mace was politically played for all he was
worth, and he was summoned to act as ambassador in the unstable Free Worlds
League. Borrowing a surprisingly large amount of money, he purchased his own
Guillotine BattleMech on the Marik world of Dehgolan after meeting with the local
officials. Confronting members of the Word of Blake, Mace decided he was in
need of an experienced aide. After relaying message to his superiors, Marc Lucas
arrived on-planet as Mace's personal Acolyte aide. Feeling punished, Volt
requested transfer back into the Com Guard ranks as a Mechwarrior. His
apprentice, Lucas, was required to accompany him back to Diosd where Comstar
was plotting a planetary takeback. After their Dropship was shot out from
underneath of them, the two splashed down in the midst of an ongoing battle
between the Strider's Strikers and Clan Jade Falcon. Teaming with an unknown
warrior from the Draconis Combine, the combined Inner Sphere Mechs defeated
their Clan counterparts.
Mace, after losing a Comstar Dropship due to a poor decision on his part, felt lost
in the Comstar military. He decided to join the Strikers and see how the
mercenary lifestyle could suit his needs. Resigning from his Adept position, Volt
was honorably discharged for his actions against the Clans in his 3 years of
service. Marc Lucas shared Volt's feelings and similarly resigned, unfortunately
taking a dishonorable discharge for his poor piloting on Tukayyid. Lucas decided
that much could be learned from his "superior officer", and decided to join the
Strikers as well, much to Volt's initial disgust.
Mace Volt was considered an experienced pilot. His training on Terra and his
combat on Tukayyid taught him much about being a Mechwarrior. Mace continued
to dress as a Comstar soldier, preferring to carry a Dirk sword rather than the
traditional saber. He strictly obeyed orders and was always ready to do anything
his commanders asked of him.
Mace was killed during a Blakist attack on Strider's Strikers command barracks in
the summer of 3068. From forensic evidence gathered, it was believed that he was
murdered by Purifier battle-armored members of the Blakist force. Other
evidence proved that he was able to kill one of his attackers using only his Dirk
sword, despite the fact that his enemy was armed with a needler rifle.
Mace set an incredible example for new recruits. He was considered uptight by
most of his teammates, but his skills were never doubted. He was known for being
an eccentric, as few had ever seen a Comstar warrior sporting a Dirk sword such
as Mace did. However, many also knew of his abilities with that sword in
particular. His discipline and performance in both the sports facility and Mech
simulators earned him many records, some of which are still unmatched. Mace
was also famous for his temporary command of the unit during the week in which it
lost both of its commanders in a battle on Wasat. Both commanders Strider and
Carns swore it was his tactical planning and strict completion of that strategy that
ensured their survival. He was the only regular pilot who was able to achieve the
commander's position, even if for a short time. During that time as a leader, he
also recruited two of the most valued members to join the command company, Sir
Owen Hardcastle and Jim Davis.
