The Strider's Strikers are currently located in Nova Cat
space. While garrisoning the planet Miranda, the Strikers
were attacked by Clan Wolf forces. Spreading their forces
to the breaking point, the Strikers lost several battles to
the Wolves. Though many of the team were captured,
Strikers commandos under the direction of a retired DEST
commando were able to break into the established Wolf
prisons. The commandoes have successfully completed their
first mission with minimal losses, and were aided by
Purifier and Achileus Battle Armor squads. Among the
injured was flamethrower Beetle Cashew. Among the rescued
were the solahama star under the command of Solahama
Mechwarrior Fox, ground assault drivers under the command
of Avalon Hodge, and a number of Striker armor crews (too
numerous to mention). The team's Mobile Long Tom Cannon
was safely hidden within the small city of Georgetown.
- Alexus Capone, Assault Mech pilot, 3062.
--------------------------------------------------------
The Strikers were attacked after nightfall on Miranda, at a
milita fort just outside of Georgetown. The defending
Mechs included a Charger piloted by Duo Maxwell, a Battle
Cobra piloted by Sasha Breen, a Black Watch piloted by Ted
Conrad, a Catapult piloted by Dr. Byron Jones, and a
Hercules piloted by unknown. Though the attackers included
only Industrial and Agro class Mechs, the battle raged on
blindly for nearly an hour. The local uprising against
Clan Nova Cat was finally silenced when the last Woodcutter
AgroMech fell to Duo Maxwell. Casualties include 14 of the
22 rebel pilots, 2 Striker BattleMechs, and 3 Striker
infantry perimeter guards. Striker BattleMechs suffered
sabotaged sensory systems, while the Hercules BattleMech's
weaponry had been savaged as well. The local revolt on
Miranda appears to be coming to a climax, but the Strikers
have firmly handled anything the militia can dish out so
far.
- Dr. Byron Jones, Heavy Mech pilot, 3062.

The Strider's Strikers have recently accepted an addition
of 2 stars from Clan Steel Viper's Warden cause. After a
successfuly negotiation by Steel Viper Wardens and Nova Cat
officials, the Strikers welcome stars Beta and Zeta from
the Steel Viper galaxy. Star Commanders Claudia and
Stenson are already proving to be of great worth to the
team. Star Commander Claudia has taken over Star Captain
Breen's 65 ton Cauldron-Born, while Breen has selected a
customized Battle Cobra. Star Commander Stenson brings 3
Steel Viper warriors and their assault 'Mechs, and has also
been joined by Mechwarrior Savalas of Clan Nova Cat.
Mechwarrior Savalas pilots the symbolic Nova Cat BattleMech
as a sign of peace between Strider's Strikers, Clan Nova
Cat, and Clan Steel Viper. Steel Viper Wardens hope to
gain an intricate knowledge of Inner Sphere warfare and
customs, while creating peace with Clan Nova Cat and the
Striker mercenaries.
- Marc Lucas, Light Mech pilot, 3062.
--------------------------------------------------------
The return of Norbert "Set your hair on fire!" Owens has
the Strikers team clapping. The supposedly dead veteran
was one of the original lance of Strikers. This only makes
his return that much more amazing. After his welcome back
party, Owens celebrated by challenging the Clan scout star,
whom had been furious about their new drop in rank, to a
combat run. Bidding low, the Nova Cat rookies faced Owen's
Assassin, Fox's Nexus, Phagen's Wasp, the new Yeoman, and
an SRM Carrier. Victorious over the five Clan Mechs
despite being seriously outranged by 4 ER PPCs and 1 Gauss
Rifle, Owens and his new lancemates have shown that skills
can surpass technology. The Clan scout star has accepted
defeat gracious and honorably, and will see what they can
learn from this Inner Sphere "old dog".
- Ryan Allen, Heavy Mech pilot, 3062.
--------------------------------------------------------
The Strider's Strikers have been hired by Federated
Alliance forces for the use of their technologically
advanced BattleMech forces. The team has separated,
leaving Co-Commander Strider in Nova Cat space as
Co-Commander Star Colonel Carns brings reinforcements to
the Davion loyalists aid. Star Colonel Devon Carns will
work with the loyalists under contract for one year, in
which he will have the opportunity to renew the contract if
desired. Meanwhile the rest of the Strikers will engage in
a dueling tournament, conducted by strict rules to
determine which pilot among the team is the luckiest, and
best, all-around pilot. Available Clan warriors will
participate if and when possible.
- Mechwarrior Cecil, Heavy Mech pilot, 3063.
--------------------------------------------------------
After a training run in the Labrea system of Nova Cat
space, Striker tank crews stumbled upon an abandoned
military outpost. The team has discovered a small memory
core with information concerning an extinct mercenary unit,
the Acer's Hueys. Striker data analysts have been able to
code-crack the data core, and have started to search the
system for any signs of valuable information. So far, the
Strikers have been unable to access most of the system's
records. Data specialist Manon von Gerkan has begun work
on the project. Though a slow process, all information
will eventually be available to the Strider's Strikers.
The Strikers have established an outpost to protect the
remains of the Hueys base.
- Shade Stipes, Heavy Tank gunner, 3063.
--------------------------------------------------------
While decoding the Acer's Hueys memory core, Manon von
Gerkan has discovered that Acer's Hueys did indeed survive
the Fourth Succession War. They appear to have worked in
conjunction with the tri-company sized unit Llana's
Breakers. Llana's Breakers and the Hueys evidently took a
contract together within the Labrea system in 3038. After
breaking their contract, Acer's Hueys were relieved of
mercenary licenses by Wolf's Dragoons officials on Outreach
in 3039. The Hueys immediately left the Labrea system,
abandoning their base and moving to the Taurian Concordat.
Members of Strider's Strikers Intelligence Corps have
worked with Striker security officers Mural Rye-del and
Ransway Burke to discover that Acer's Hueys continue to
work in the Taurian Concordat, where they have been known
to take contracts without valid Outreach licenses.
Strikers are planning to contact the Hueys within the next
several months, but have yet to devise a method of doing so
given the Huey's secretive nature.
- Mechwarrior Rosa, Heavy Mech pilot, 3063.
--------------------------------------------------------
Duo Maxwell has been selected to lead a new Strikers
subdivision team on a new contract in the Lyran
Commonwealth. Hired by a private interest group, the
Strikers under Maxwell's leadership will engage Lyran
forces along the Lyran/Jade Falcon border. Though attacks
by the technologically superior Falcons are possible, the
Strikers are not likely to face any Clan forces. Maxwell
will command the majority of the Inner Sphere Strikers;
he'll lead those whom are left after the Clan half departed
for a Federated Alliance contract. The only Striker units
to remain on Miranda will consist of the Command and
Stinger lances, all tank units, and any remaining backup
lances who have yet to be deployed elsewhere. The Command
lance has formed a think-tank unit in the hopes of
discovering the Acer's Hueys mercenary unit.
- Mace Volt, Heavy Mech pilot, 3063.
--------------------------------------------------------
Striker Co-Commander Mike C. Strider has devised a plan to
seek out the Acer's Hueys unit in the hopes of recovering
valuable information regarding a lostech Warship. During
his absence, the Co-Commander has elected Holden Trumphay
for the commanding position at the Strikers Miranda base.
Strider will lead his command and stinger lances on an
interplanetary search throughout the Taurian Concordat and
other areas of the Periphery in a hunt for the Hueys'
present location. The lance will begin their journey after
next week's emergency exercise drill, which will test the
remaining Striker forces ability to deal with any
near-future enemy attacks.
- Mandrake, Light Support Tank driver, 3063.
--------------------------------------------------------
The command and stinger lances continue to search for
evidence of the Acer's Hueys in the Taurian Concordat. So
far, there is no evidence of the team or its existence.
Advances will likely be made if any trace or rumours are
discovered. Only time will tell if this journey will bear
any fruit.
- Otis Henson, Light Mech pilot, 3064.
--------------------------------------------------------
The Clan half of the Strikers have accepted a new contract
with the Federated Alliance, ensuring continued support of
the Davion goal to topple Katrina Steiner. Clan members of
the team have easily defeated most of their foes with no
problem thanks to Nova Cat/Steel Viper cooperation.
Numerous salvage operations have successfully recovered the
latest in Lyran BattleMech technology, including the 95-ton
Hauptmann Assault class Mech.
- Mechwarrior Stenson, Assault Mech pilot, 3064.
--------------------------------------------------------
The Strikers command and scout lances have successfully met
with the Acer's Hueys. Though the initial meeting was a
violent display of the Hueys' veteran firepower, a quick
surrender by the Strikers' command lance ended any further
fighting. An agreement was reached between the two teams,
and the Hueys will temporarily be hired and entirely
financed by the Strikers until the Huey license's ban can
be revoked and the veteran team is declared innocent of
previously accused negligence. In return for this aid, the
Hueys will help the Strikers by sharing the location of a
lostech Warship that the Strikers hope to obtain. After
several meetings and a couple training exercises, the 2
Striker lances and the Acer's Hueys have begun their long
journey to the Labrea system to rendevous with the other
divisions of the Strider's Strikers team.
- Mike Strider, Heavy Mech pilot, 3065.
--------------------------------------------------------
After months of repetitious training and a relatively quiet
posting, the skeleton crew of the Strikers' headquarters
received chilling details on a new security report. Two
separate teams of unidentified jumpships have arrived at a
pirate point in the Labrea system. The ships are on a
direct heading towards Miranda, the planet on which the
Strikers' base is located. Attempts to make contact with
the force have been unsuccessful, but it seems apparent
that the units have ill-intentions. The units are
suspected to be of Clan origin. Temporary commander Holden
Trumphay is preparing the Strikers base for an all out
defensive effort, while a last minute attempt has been made
to hire on new Mechwarriors and gain access to several
additional assault Mechs.
- Holden Trumphay, Medium Mech pilot, 3065.
--------------------------------------------------------
Enemy units approaching the Strikers base have been
identified as members of the Word of Blake splinter group
known as the Denouncement. Though no official
communications have been made on the invader's part,
Commander Trumphay has attempted to ask the unit of their
intentions or demands. The Strikers elite commando platoon
is preparing several possible plans to evacuate personnel
if needed in the near future. In the meantime, the
skeleton crew anxiously awaits the return of any of the 3
Strikers subdivisions that are currently en-route to the
Miranda base.
- Fritz Dravnerr, Medium Mech pilot, 3065.
--------------------------------------------------------
The Baron of Wasat has attempted to contact all Strikers'
warriors in an effort to warn them of the Word of Blake's
coming attack. While Holden Trumphay and the skeleton crew
were well aware of the dangers, only with the Baron's help
were Commanders Carns and Strider successfully warned.
Time will tell what danger the Denouncement threat poses.
For now, the skeleton crew is doing all it can to prepare.
- Elec O'Mally, Heavy Tank commander, 3065.
--------------------------------------------------------
Receiving word from the Crusaders mercenary unit, the
skeleton crew of the Strikers' headquarters has agreed to a
proposal to recruit the Crusaders into their base defensive
efforts. The Crusaders will combat drop outside the base
within the next 16 hours, during which the Strikers team
will plan a counterattack for any Word of Blake offenses
that might be aimed at the Crusaders team. In order to
hide the Striker base's lack of Mechs, the Strikers hope to
catch the Blakist forces off-guard and effectively make
them over-cautious.
- Sarah Smythe, Light Mech pilot, 3065.
--------------------------------------------------------
After reinforcing the base, the Crusaders and Strikers
skeleton crew made contact with the Strikers/Hueys combined
team when the unit jumped in-system. Leading the Strikers
and Hueys attack with special knowledge recovered by the
Strikers commandos, the Strikers and Hueys dealt a
devastating blow to the Word of Blake's repairing units.
The Strikers and Hueys quickly withdrew into the mountains,
where they await the next Word of Blake move.
- Yoshi Karamoto, Medium Mech pilot, 3065.
--------------------------------------------------------
Massing their forces outside the Strikers base, the Word of
Blake began attacking the Strikers headquarters with nearly
all of their combined forces. Desperately trying to avoid
the assault, the Strikers skeleton crew and Crusaders
evacuated the base into a forest of enemy units that were
guarding the southern side. Completely destroying the
primary force of the Word of Blake's flanking maneuver, the
Strikers and Crusaders escaped mostly intact. However 3
APC's were lost in the battle, along with 4 Mechs. Pilots
Sarah Smythe and Joseph Newton were both killed when their
cockpits were breached by enemy missiles and autocannon
fire, respectively.
- Fenton Hardy, Medium Mech pilot, 3065.
--------------------------------------------------------
After the return of the Clan half of the Strider's
Strikers, Devon Carns led an attack against the Word of
Blake's primary attack force. The Denouncement put up a
strong offensive but the Clan group, who had just finished
a campaign against House Steiner forces in Davion space,
proved more than a match for the attack. The commanding
officer of the Denouncement group was killed; he suffocated
when his Mech was partially buried in the sands of the
Stricken Desert.
- Mechwarrior Rally, Assault Mech pilot, 3065.
--------------------------------------------------------
Striker pilots are fighting battles near Bueltz against the
Vampire Fangs and the remnants of the Denouncement.
Several civilian slayings by the Word of Blake forces have
left locals bitter towards both sides of the conflict. The
Fangs team seem to be targeting housing complexes as part
of their guerrilla-type campaign.
