Commander of Acer's Hueys

New to the life of a Mechwarrior and commander, Ace Leghorn used to be a
member of the Explorer Corps.  Ace's previous position in the Corps ranked him
relatively low, actually working as a logistics officer in a number of different
Dropships.  Tiring of his old job, Ace decided to take on a more adventurous
lifestyle.  Ace was bored of landing on unknown planets only to find little in the
way of intelligent life.  Looking for a place in the military, he investigated his
possible options and decided piloting BattleMechs would provide him with a
very different lifestyle.  He had always taken an interest in the Explorer Corps'
giant machines, even though most of their Mechs were lightly armed and
usually equipped with sensory equipment rather than powerful weapons.  In his
new job, he would actually be able to control the immensely powerful machines.  
After examining the military of his birthplace, the Capellan Confederation Armed
Forces, Ace was turned away from signing on with his nation.  The Armed
Forces boasted a much lower pay than he had anticipated.  Ace decided he
would create his own fighting force, a small team of mercenaries that might
specialize in high risk missions.  This role would fulfill his dreams of maximum
profit and adventure.  Ace started creating his team with the little money he had
saved from previous years.  Working for nearly 4 years as a lone freelance
mercenary, Ace had earned enough money by 3022 to purchase his own
BattleMech, a Whitworth.  Teaming with other new freelancers Vender Stepps
and Piter Vichkle, the three poured their money into hiring an elite pilot that
would create their lance.  Stumbling upon Dr. Suzy Evans, a local physician with
a military past, they completed their task.  Signing up on several small, high risk
contracts, the 4 found themselves in situations of extreme danger.  Barely
escaping with their lives on their 5th mission, the lance decided to bolster their
combined forces with an additional lance.  Traveling to 3 different worlds they
recruited Shane Belmont(ex-CCAF soldier), Master Harold Higgins(a young
failed CCAF recruit), Jasmine Geutie(street guide on Quemoy), and Megan
T(skirmisher pilot).  Ace has retained his commanding position largely because
he formed the team.  His lancemates have shown him the faith and respect he
deserves, even rescuing him after capture by Capellan forces.  His logistical
skills are well formed thanks to his previous job, and his tactics abilities are
slowly building.  Ace also performs well in his gunnery and piloting talents,
which he steadily improves with his growing experience.  He relies on Jasmine
for some tactical advice, and looks to Vender for political aide.  With a firm
standing among the other small mercenary units, Ace Leghorn and the Acer's
Hueys continue to be a respectable group of hired soldiers.
