COMMANDER'S REVIEW:
Taking a contract with the Lyran Commonwealth, the newly-formed Strider's Strikers mercenary unit experienced their first mission. Protecting the village of Skyetown on the planet of Skye, the lance met up with an enemy Hussar, Urbanmech, and Firestarter. Andrew "Hotshot" Allen took out the Firestarter while taking heavy punishment. Commander Mike C. Strider bagged the small Hussar, while Mark "Maverick" Pike knocked over the Urbanmech. Norbert Owens sustained massive damage from the Firestarter Mech, then failed to punch out as his Mech collapsed. Accepting payment and the salvage of the Firestarter and one Hussar, the small team buried their lost and headed for the Rift / Lyran Alliance in order to see their friend who had asked about joining.
