The First Battle in the Ongoing Struggle

Image
 Raiders came to Vedma’s World. There was time to gather the Free Militia. Their approach was slow and their target was obvious. They wanted Dr. Croft.  Her research into alternatives to HPG space transmissions could empower small worlds to escape the boundaries placed in front of them by the vastness of interstellar distances. Others learned of her research and she fled to the Periphery.  She thought Vedma’s World was far enough, but it wasn’t. Now war had come to the world again.  The militia arrays against the raiders.  Power Armored Marshals rally to the cause.   Speed is of the essence!  PA magnetizes to the Hermit Crab. Raider PA air drops onto Croft’s position.  The Crab blows up an incoming Raider Technical.  The Raider PA secures their prize! Dr. Croft is captured.  Hot pursuit!  Second Technical drops off its deadly cargo.  Desperate gambit to back-shoot the HunchBack IIC!   Combined fire brings the HBK...

Meet Our Hero’s Mech(s)

Image
 Stieg Miner pilots a HMC-14 Hermit Crab, but which model to use for the job?  They’re two different .stl’s, produced by two different, high-quality Etsy manufacturers.  I love them both, but I am stumped on which one to feature in our story.  Maybe both? Perhaps one could represent an HMC-13, and the other an HMC-14?

Meet Our Hero

Image
  Meet Some Of Our Cast Stieg Miner. If this tale has a hero, Stieg is it. A MechWarrior fleeing from the defeat and dissolution while in service to the Hanseatic League. During the battle for Holdout in 3112, his unit was crushed at the hands of the Escorpion Imperio defense forces. Miner’s 55 ton SHD-2Hb Shadow Hawk was shot out from under him and he ejected.

Stieg’s knowledge of ‘Mechs and general good will eventually won Wright’s trust. Th...
