12.3.2 Lost Deep Septs - Blakist Jihad Era Society Force

https://www.sarna.net/wiki/The_Society was very interested in caches of scientific equipment from the Star League era in the Outlands Wastes.

The force primarily consisted of second line BattleMechs and older Battle Armor suits with solahma warriors, but Society leadership included one advanced OmniMech and several of their best ProtoMech designs. The Society did not have sufficient resources to support this reconnaissance mission, so the Lost Deep Septs were expected to resupply and repair with whatever they could find and steal in the Outworlds Wastes.

12.4.1 Far Watch Binary, Alpha Galaxy - Civil War Era Wolf in Exile Force

Clan Wolf in Exile struggled to maintain their touman given the limited resources available to them in the Arc-Royal Defense Cordon. The possibility of replenishing the touman with Star League equipment from caches in Outworlds Wastes proved too tempting.

Far Watch Binary was formed from a handful of best warriors from Alpha Galaxy. The command star is modeled after the old Star League air lance formation favored by Clan Wolf, and the the binary is completed with a star of Elementals.

12.4.2 8th Dongel Guards, Alpha Galaxy - Civil War Lyran Alliance Force

The Dongel Guards remained some of the most loyal units of the Lyran Alliance during the FedCom Civil War. Absorbing the Eight Federated Commonwealth RCT allowed the 8th Donegal Guards to detach an augmented lance for a special reconnaissance mission for the Archon.

The Military Intelligence Division found reports of Star League caches in the Outworlds Wastes region to be unlikely; however, the proximity of that region to the Allied forces and the Federated Suns meant the rumors had to be explored.

The unit relies upon traditional Lyran tactics of using slow, heavily armored units to anchor their attacks while light units flank and reach objectives.

12.4.3 2nd Knights of the Inner Sphere - Civil War Era Free Worlds League Force

The search for Star League technology in the Outworlds Wastes caught the attention of the Knights of the Inner Sphere. Concerned about the possibility of brutal conflict over these valuable resources, the 2nd Knights of the Inner Sphere detached a lance and supporting assets to the region.

The 2nd Knights of the Inner Sphere specialized in small unit tactics and brought hovercraft and Battle Armor, including stealth Battle Armor, to augment their BattleMech lance. The bulk of these forces focus on speed or stealth over direct conflict, leaving Sir Jaxson’s Warhammer to be the heavy hitter of the force.

The Outworlds Wastes Jagers are a detached unit from the Alliance Grenadiers tasked with sweeping the Outworlds Wastes for pirate activity. Used to long deployments with limited logistics support, this unit was a natural choice for seeking Star League Defense Force caches in the Outworlds Wastes.

The Jagers rely upon Mountain Wolf BattleMech’s new Merlins to shore up their force of light mechs that the Outworlds Alliance is able to produce. Aerospace fighters, VTOLs, and HALO troops augment these ’mechs, in line with the Outworld Alliance’s expertise in aerospace combat.

Renaissance Outworlds Alliance Force - Alliance Grenadiers Wastes Jagers

12.6.3 The Youngbloods - Succession Wars Renaissance Era Mercenary Force

The world of Sterope is one of the jewels of the Taurian Concordat. With the Taurian military spread thin, the nobility of the world took it upon themselves to create their own defense force; the Noble’s Regiment. In an attempt to expand the Regiment, the nobility funded a small mechwarrior training academy on the world.

Unfortunately, this brought the attention of a large pirate band which came to raid the campus for parts and munitions. Determined to defend their students, the handful of grizzled TDF veterans serving as instructors mounted up. As they moved to head off the invaders, they ordered the students to evacuate to shelters.

Those students, however, were determined Taurians. Hearing that the instructors were in a desperate fight, they rushed to the hangers and mounted up in every piece of equipment that moved to join the fray. Ultimately, the pirates were forced to retreat but only after the last of the instructors and half the cadets had been killed.

In the aftermath of the fight, the local populace considered the cadets to be heroes. They had acted in the finest tradition of the Noble’s Regiment and faced a threat to the world.

However, they had also disobeyed orders. Millions of C-bills worth of academy property were destroyed. Lawyers argued that the actions of the students forced the instructors to sacrifice themselves to protect them. Regardless of the support of the civilian population, the cadets were found guilty of a myriad of crimes and expelled from the academy and the armed forces.

The majority of the cadets, infuriated at this response to their actions, decided they would take their chances as mercenaries rather than stay on Sterope. They plotted to steal the equipment they had used to defend the academy. After securing a DropShip through the good graces of people of the world, the cadets snuck into the equipment hanger.

They were shocked to discover not a single sentry guarding the hanger and none of the equipment was properly locked down. Even the hanger doors had been left unlocked. The staff of the academy could not officially support their students... but they could make sure there was no resistance to their plan...

Note: All of the ’mech minis for these units can be found in the BattleTech: A Game of Armored Combat box set.

Renaissance Mercenary Force - Youngbloods

12.6.4 17th Avalon Hussars Combat Command Echo - Succession Wars LosTech Era Federated Suns Force

This irregular command was detached for special assignment from the 17th Avalon Hussars. Built as a fast reaction force to be deployed where House Davion needed extra firepower without mobilizing an entire regiment, they are a small, self-contained unit.

Captain Clair ’Monty’ Montgomery is a graduate of Warrior’s Hall on New Syrtis. The son of minor nobility, he is known as a bit of a dandy with a flair for inspirational speeches and a love of berets. His spirited defense of a forward position drew the attention of Marshal Addley Verner. The same defense also cost Monty his family Crusader.

Believing the AFFS needs more officers like Montgomery, Verner saw to it that Monty was rewarded an appropriate replacement; a Battlemaster BLR-1D. He was also detached from the 17th as the CO of Combat Command Echo.

While Monty looks the part and now has the mech of a commander, it remains an open question if Monty’s inspired defense was tactical genius or merely incredible luck.

LosTech Federated Suns Force - 17th Avalon Hussars Combat Command Echo

12.6.5 3rd Confederation Reserve Cavalry Tan’s Company - Succession Wars LosTech Era Capellan Confederation Force

The 3rd Confederation Reserve Cavalry is a curious combination of older veterans and newly minted green MechWarriors. The unit is an opportunity to get new MechWarriors some experience under the supervision of the veterans. It is usually deployed with another command, always with a line unit in command.

To further this goal of building experience, a detachment has been deployed in raiding and recon missions under the command of Sao-Wei Tan.

Liu Tan is a rare officer in the Confederation. He sees his nation as it is but also sees what it could be. Young, brilliant and well respected, Liu was the natural choice to command. Though only a recent graduate of Sarna Martial Academy, he was a standout tactician in mobile combat.

True to Capellan doctrine, the detachment utilizes a heavy contingent of conventional forces.

LosTech Capellan Confederation Force - 3rd Confederation Reserve Cavalry Tan’s Company

12.6.6 3rd Dieron Regulars Spears of Nobutsuna - Early Succession Wars Era Draconis Combine Force

The Draconis Combine has long been known for the skill of its duelists, both in Kenjutsu and in mech combat. Much to the chagrin of the vaunted Star League Defense Force, the Combine warriors often proved their equal in one on one combat if not their better.

Warfare is on the horizon and the Coordinator knows it. The collapse of the Star League is inevitable and he has authorized his warlords to create small recon and raiding units. It is his belief such units will be an invaluable tool to keep the Dragon’s enemies off balance while gathering useful data on their capabilities.

The “Spears of Nobutsuna” are a contingent of the 3rd Dieron Regulars. Led by Ise Shinkuro, the grandson of a noted duelist, they take their name from Kamiizumi Nobutsuna, the reputed founder of the Shinkage-ryu style of swordsmanship. Ise Shinkuro is a practitioner, as are several other members of the unit.

In marked contrast to most of the Dieron Regulars, the Spears contain members from the Azami people as well as the Rasalhague population. Of note, Shinkuro recruited members of the Arkab Legion to pilot the company’s hovercraft. Despite their difference in class and rank Shinkuro is often seen in the Azami crew’s company, in deep discussions about philosophy and swordsmanship. Several of the Azami are practiced in the scimitar.
