Fighting his way onto the screens of newsvids throughout Solaris VII and the entire
Inner Sphere had only become a memory for Daryl Zero. When Daryl lost his
major fight in 3061, his sponsoring stable showed him the door. Many Solaris
contenders are relieved of their positions in this way. However not many are able
to return to the life they like with much ease. With the Strikers reform of 3062,
Strikers' Commanders Carns and Strider became interested in what Solaris had to
offer.
Believing they could find an elite Mechwarrior or at least a lucky one, the two
commanders placed a representative on the games world to find such a soldier.
Ransway Burke, a member of the Strider's Strikers security, appeared to be
perfect for the representative's position.
Burke consulted battle histories and documentaries of 3057-3061 Solaris fights to
narrow his search to 8 contenders. Of these, 2 rejected the Strikers' employment
opportunity. The third, Daryl Zero, was more level-headed. Knowing the
"one-way or no-way" Solaris rule of thumb, Daryl signed on immediately after
learning of the position's pay.
Daryl's position on the Strikers was somewhat different than what was originally
intended. With the addition of two Knights of the Inner Sphere, the Striker
commanders placed the talented Zero under Sir Owen's command. With the aid of
Ted Conrad, a rather expensive freelance Mechwarrior, the lance became a very
powerful group.
Daryl piloted a Jinggau, a new Capellan design boasting what many consider to be
the best all around weapons configuration. Amongst the Strikers, the Gauss
Rifle-four laser array of the Jinggau has become almost standard on retrofitted
Mechs. Daryl appeared satisfied with his position. He had made friends quickly
with both the Knights as well as 'Big Unit' Conrad.
Daryl was killed during the firebombing of 3068, in which a barracks facility was
destroyed by Blakist airstrikes. He was one of those sleeping when the building
was hit by the bombs. Evidence recovered from the remains of the fire indicates
he'd tried to escape from his room but was unable to do so before succumbing to
the fire or fumes.
