Introduction
For every Kell Hounds or Wolf’s Dragoons, there are a hundred similar outfits that are just as
talented—and just as deadly—that you have never heard of. Or worse, you have not heard of
enough. Sure, the glory hounds who make the evening tri-vid news are movers and shakers, Credits
and can change national borders whenever they want, but they’re not the only ones. For
every Eridani Light Horse, there is a mercenary crew with a storied battlefield history just as Development
spectacular. These are the units that have gone largely unnoticed in the long, bloody history Joshua C. Perian
of the Inner Sphere, their stories untold or nearly forgotten. Take a closer look at the battles

Unit History
SaKhan Connor Rood oversaw the repatriation of numerous
former Clan Ice Hellion warriors after the conquest of the Umayyad
Caliphate and Nueva Castile. Once he succeeded Colin Yeh as Khan
of Clan Goliath Scorpion, he continued his efforts to recover his
former comrades. These efforts swelled Beta Galaxy with new
warriors. That Galaxy, long the Scorpions’ lightest, matched the
Hellion preference for light, fast ’Mechs. Their time as “feral” hellions
had changed many of them, and not always for the better. Fights
broke out without the traditional Circle of Equals. Discipline was
breaking down as feral warriors failed to reintegrate to Clan society.
Rood felt the issue might stem from the shattered pride of the
former Hellions. Not only had their invasion of the Inner Sphere
been a cataclysmic disaster, but their Clan had also ceased to exist.
The only link they had to their past was each other. Not even their
Clan’s name had survived, save in memory.
Rood’s first attempt to integrate the feral Hellions was to
rename Beta Galaxy in honor of his—and their—former Clan in
3095. The Khan’s hopes were dashed by the slaying of saKhan
Henrika Suvorov. Her killer, Star Commander Kliff Wallace, was
a bondsman only recently returned to the warrior
ranks. He was taken as isorla along with his two
dozen children and their mothers, a seraglio
accumulated after more than a decade
in the Periphery. SaKhan Suvorov
had insulted Wallace’s children
as freebirths, and he repaid her
in blood, outside of a Circle of
Equals. Rood sublimated his
own rage and issued a Trial
of Grievance, allowing the
Council to oversee the Trial.
He killed Wallace in hand-
to-hand combat in minutes,
then immediately called
for Wallace’s giftake to be
taken, as few of that lineage
remained.
Galaxy Commander Mull
Elam refused election to saKhan
in December 3095. As a Seeker,
he felt at home in Chi Galaxy. He
also believed he would meet the
same dishonorable fate as his
predecessor among the former Ice
Hellions. Khan Rood realized he must
do more to reintegrate the former Hellions to Clan
culture, while also protecting the Galaxy’s commander. Thus,
he conceived Hellion Keshik, a bodyguard unit for the saKhan that
would also serve as the Galaxy’s command Trinary.
Khan Rood ordered the entire touman to assemble on Valencia.
He then delivered a fiery, invective-filled address. He raged at
their prejudice, reminding them all that absorption was part of
the Way of the Clans, that neither the absorbed nor the absorbing
should discriminate against the other. Rood challenged them
to direct their pride and fury into challenging for the highest
positions. He wanted ristars seeking to prove their worth through
pain and conquest, not weaklings seeking comfort and security.
Rood promised a reckoning for any who chose safety over glory.
Then the curtain behind him opened, revealing five gleaming,
brand new Hellions. These, he said, were assembled on his order
on the Clan’s Hephaestus-type Hughes-class station, a modernized
type of the station employed by Wolf’s Dragoons. This had been
no casual decision, as it involved investing considerable resources
and delayed the station’s routine disassembly and relocation to
another system for security purposes. The station had been the
Imperio's only factory for new ClanTech equipment, and as their
only orbital facility it was critical for aerospace repair and as a
source of some components, such as endo-steel. That Rood had
risked this precious resource for this purpose had a profound
effect. Dozens of former and feral Hellion warriors clamored to
join the Keshik.
Galaxy Commander Kulchaak Dinour was elected saKhan in
January 3096. Trials to decide the first warriors in Hellion
Keshik came immediately afterward. All warriors
were invited to fight for a billet in the new
unit. Dinour’s four closest comrades won
posts in the new Keshik, completing
his command Star. More than a few
warriors were slain or crippled in
the trials. Former Hellions fought
with terrifying ferocity, many
refusing to relent until they or
their opponent lay dead. In
the end, the Trinary included
a Star of ProtoMechs, and
four former Ice Hellions and
a freeborn Castilian piloting
the Star of new Hellions.
SaKhan Dinour took his
Khan’s lesson to heart and
set about establishing a
rapport with Hellion Galaxy.
He embraced the tenets of
Ice Hellion combat doctrine
and argued in Council for the
modified Hellion Flurry Attack,
a version of the Ice Hellion pack
zellbrigen tactic, to become
acceptable within Goliath Scorpion
zellbrigen. This tactic allowed a
Star’s commander to challenge an enemy
of greater mass, and for the rest of the Star to join in the initial
exchange. This “evening of the odds” violated strict Clan honor,
but enabled light ’Mechs to challenge heavier foes with a better
chance for victory. It had been key to the few Hellion successes in

2
 Hellion
Hellion Keshik
Keshik
Operation Ice Storm. After his request was denied, he demanded
and fought a Trial of Refusal, killing the immense Elemental Star
Colonel Lavender Shaffer of Tau Galaxy in unaugmented combat.
He awoke from a medically-induced coma to a Galaxy—and a
Keshik—of fanatical warriors that would risk their lives for him as
he had for them.
SaKhan Dinour assured the Keshik’s warriors that their duties
would not be ceremonial, nor would they focus only on protecting
him. He intended to lead his Galaxy from the front. First, though, he
had to get to know them. He ordered his warriors to the new colony
world Graystone to put them through their paces. Hellion Keshik
began training in Flurry Attacks while the rest of the Galaxy was
in transit. The Trinary was on maneuvers in the wilderness tundra,
hundreds of kilometers from the settlement areas, when DropShip
contrails began burning across the night sky. It was far too soon to
be Hellion Galaxy. Pirates had arrived to attack the colony.
Dinour ordered the Keshik to board their DropShips for a
suborbital hop. He harangued them for every minute they sat on
the permafrost. The hasty, low altitude drop was sloppy, killing some
warriors before the fight even began. Baker Star fared the worst.
Some ProtoMechs landed badly, causing neural damage through
the implanted circuitry. Star Commander Evan ordered a tactical
reformation, but the enemy did not wait for them to reorganize.
The pirates blasted and stomped the ProtoMechs without regard
for honor or mercy. A brutal melee broke out as the Keshik’s elite
warriors resorted to physical attacks.
The pirates were winning when Dinour issued a challenge to
the largest enemy unit. The battered Awesome did not respond,
but the challenge was more for Dinour’s warriors. His Star put their
new training into practice. They turned and concentrated fire on
the Awesome. The punishing fusillade added to the assault ’Mech’s
poor state of repair and damage already sustained. It was enough
to down the beast.
The Hellions of Charlie Star followed Dinour’s lead and targeted
their commander’s chosen enemy. The Thunderbolt absorbed the
fire, but Star Captain Brody ran circles around it and brought it low
by kicking its leg off. The pirates finally fled to their battered Union
DropShip and lifted without delay, leaving half their number behind.
The cost was high. Only six ProtoMechs of Baker Star survived. On
Khan Rood’s order no new ProtoMechs or replacement parts were
being built, as he deemed it wasteful to allocate such considerable
resource to enable failed warriors to enter the caste. Thus, no new
ProtoMech pilots had joined the touman since the abjuration,
leaving only aging pilots and rapidly depleting numbers of
ProtoMechs. The few survivors were reassigned and replaced with a
Star of OmniMechs. The time of ProtoMechs in the Clan had passed.
The poor combat drop motivated saKhan Dinour. He demanded
Hellion Galaxy practice combat drops in all combinations of
weather and terrain in the Imperio. Five years of constant training
made the Galaxy the touman’s best, with the Keshik the best of the
best. SaKhan Dinour was killed in a training accident in 3106 and
succeeded by Enrico Kirov. Kirov maintained the Keshik’s focus, in
part to honor his predecessor but also because he knew the posting
would be a short one. Khan Rood retired and was succeeded by
3
Kirov in 3108. When Khan Kirov established the position of reKhan,
he appointed Rood to that role on Valencia.
Kirov was a Seeker and so he favored Chi Galaxy. Following
Rood’s example, he renamed Chi to Seeker Galaxy and established
Seeker Keshik, to protect the Loremaster whom he intended to
command the Galaxy from then on. Thus, Hellion Keshik and Hellion
Galaxy began to stagnate. When the Hanseatic League attacked a
colony in 3112, saKhan Sakmar Arbuthnot dashed off a cursory
communiqué to Khan Kirov informing him that Hellion Keshik
and two of the Galaxy’s Clusters would “teach the Hansa surats a
lesson.” They attacked Kampen, home base for RDF 3. Despite being
outnumbered by the defenders, the high-altitude insertion into the
Hansa headquarters proved devastating. They mauled the Hansa
commanders, then crushed the disorganized ’Mech and vehicle
regiments and all but exterminated the infantry regiment.
The Keshik’s roster changed through the years, trending toward
heavier ’Mechs, but their lethal combination of accurate combat
drops and hit and run warfare assured their place in Wave 1 of
the invasion of the Hanseatic League and brought them victory
upon victory. The horrific chemical spill on Bruges during Wave
2 revealed a flaw in the Keshik’s warriors. SaKhan Homer Baba’s
command Star maintained position and set about containing the
panic, while the other Stars fled rather than risk the deadly chemical
penetrating their environmental sealing. Baba’s calming presence
prevented the savage instincts of the Hellion-descended warriors
from razing the world’s one conurbation to the ground. After the
war, Baba set about changing the mindset of the Keshik. He wished
for the Keshik to revisit its roots, but remain able to engage more
serious opposition. He obtained a larger DropShip, but instead
of increasing numbers, he allotted each MechWarrior a second,
lighter ’Mech. Thus, MechWarriors could choose their ’Mech based
on the tactical situation. But the war had sated Baba’s bloodlust. He
chose to leave the warrior caste in 3146, joining the reorganizing
merchant caste, swollen with Hansa, as he wanted a different sort
of challenge.
Delta Aimag of Clan Sea Fox’s Tiburon Khanate arrived in the
Hamburg system in March 3151, while the Keshik was training in
their light ’Mechs. The Sea Foxes issued a batchall for technical
specifications of new Imperial ’Mechs. SaKhan Valentina Tazegül
accepted on condition that her lightweight Trinary be permitted
to use their version of zellbrigen. OvKhan Lester Kalasa accepted.
The two forces met on the glacial Horvath Flatlands. The Sea Foxes
landed to find no defenders awaiting them. Then Hellion Keshik
dropped into their landing zone. SaKhan Tazegül challenged
ovKhan Kalasa to a duel. Her Hellion appeared puny compared to
Kalasa’s Cauldron-Born. Kalasa accepted with a chuckle. Tazegül
charged, weapons blazing, while the rest of her Star turned from
their opponents and joined their fire to hers. The barrage rocked
Kalasa, and Tazegül never let him recover. She carved the heavy
OmniMech to pieces while the rest of the combatants fought their
own duels. Kalasa was defeated and his trial lost.
Delta Aimag withdrew to the Chaine Cluster in the Chainelane
Isles, but before they made planetfall on Corell in July, a batchall
came over their comms, seeking a Trial of Possession for the

Aimag's destination. Their routes differed, but Hellion Keshik
arrived soon after the Sea Foxes. Kalasa was reluctant to accept,
but refusing the honorable challenge might have ended his time Special Command
commanding the Aimag. He accepted on the condition that
only pure zellbrigen be allowed and not the Keshik’s personal
interpretation. Tazegül accepted so quickly that Kalasa feared

a treasure trove of trade routes and technical specifications.
A later visit by the Fifth Scorpion Cuirassiers—under
the watchful eyes of Hellion Keshik—
secured a Scorpion Empire enclave in
the Chaine Cluster. The resulting trade
between freeborn Hansa merchants
and their former enemies in Clan
Sea Fox went far in pacifying the
region, especially after the two sides
agreed to coordinated patrols. The
Scorpions deployed HPG repeater
stations in the void between the
Empire and the Isles, and they are
currently building a new HPG in
their enclave, since their HPGs
are immune to the maladies
affecting Inner Sphere HPGs.
Khan Scott recognized the value of
being the only source for functional HPGs,
and safeguards were taken to prevent tampering
or transfer of ownership by any means.

Unit
Description
Hellion Keshik units are painted a pale ice blue. A
single navy blue pinstripe runs along the outside of each
limb. The Hellion Galaxy insignia stands proud on the front
right and rear left torso.
Members of Hellion Keshik (like all members of Hellion Galaxy)
piloting light ’Mechs may make a Flurry Attack as follows without
breaking (their version of ) zellbrigen. A Star’s commander issues
a challenge to an enemy of greater mass. The other members
of that Star may join the attack, but only for the first round of
combat with that opponent and only if they are also lighter than
that enemy unit. After that turn, only the commander may attack

Personalities RICHELLE WINSTON

KULCHAAK DINOUR
Rank: saKhan
Born: 3070 (26 in 3096)
As Alpha Galaxy’s commander, Kulchaak Dinour knew Khan
Connor Rood well and felt he could help the repatriated Ice Hellions
integrate with their new Clan. The Imperio was the only home he
had ever known, so he could not truly empathize with those whose
homes had been lost. But he felt that those who had survived the
brutal Periphery should make superior, if savage, warriors. Their feral
time had carved more years on their visages than they had seen,
but rather than marginalize these individuals, Dinour promoted
them and embraced the glorious mayhem of their style of combat,
even though their berserker attacks went against Hellion Galaxy’s
mobile combat doctrine.
Dinour shared Khan Rood’s view on ProtoMechs and did not
replace the founding Star after it was shattered. Instead, the Keshik
relied on the same lighter ’Mechs and tactics as Hellion Galaxy. In
3104, he transformed the Keshik to a Supernova Trinary. Dinour
was killed in a low-altitude training drop in 3106 when his jump
jets failed. His braking maneuver and dismount order saved his
Elementals. Ever since, the Point that mounts the saKhan’s ’Mech is
painted all-black. While his tactics survived, over time warriors were
permitted to pilot heavy ’Mechs and even the occasional assault
’Mech.
Special Pilot Abilities: Maneuvering Ace (see p. 97, AS:CE, or p.
77, CO) and Speed Demon (see p. 99, AS:CE, or p. 80, CO).
Rank: Star Colonel
Born: 3075 (21 in 3096)
Richelle Winston was a ristar whose meteoric rise culminated
with her success in joining the new Keshik. SaKhan Dinour named
her his executive officer and delegated much of the oversight of
Hellion Galaxy to her. Hers was among the last sibkos decanted in
the Homeworlds, and her Trial of Position took place on Asturias
after the Imperio was founded. After the abjuration, she learned
that hers was one of the sibkos that used Eridani Light Horse
DNA. Richelle used her position to lobby for new Bloodnames to
honor those vaunted SLDF warriors. Rather than subject anyone
to a Trial of Refusal which the fiery Richelle would surely win, Khan
Rood Founded the Winston Bloodname in 3099. Richelle won
the first Bloodname in handy fashion and was later instrumental
in loosening the restrictions on Bloodnames to include freeborn
warriors of the same lineage. These changes led to the Founding
of other new Bloodhouses for the Clan, including those of Castilian
extraction and more honoring ELH warriors. She left the Keshik in
3100 to become Galaxy Commander of Tau Galaxy.
Special Pilot Abilities: Speed Demon (see p. 99, AS:CE, or p. 80,
CO) and Sure-Footed (see p. 100, AS:CE).

PARVINA
Rank: Star Captain
Born: 3068 (28 in 3096)
Parvina commanded the founding ProtoMech Star of Hellion
Keshik. The MechWarrior sibko washout had been suffering
neurological issues for years due to degradation of her interface
implants. On Valencia in January 3096, she began tasting metal
while passing through one part of the capital at certain times.
During one such flash, she realized the intensity rose and fell in
pulses. Trial and error allowed her to triangulate the source. She
finally reported the issue and her suspicion. Goliath Scorpion
Watch, backed by a Trinary of Elementals, raided the nondescript
building. Watch spies from the Homeworlds, long a plague in
the Imperio, had been using a frequency that resonated in her
implants. Intel from their headquarters allowed the remaining
Watch cells to be eliminated. This was her final glory, as hers was
among the ProtoMechs destroyed in the botched combat drop
on Graystone later that year. Without her to make a case for a
ProtoMech Star, saKhan Dinour never considered rebuilding the
unit for the Keshik.

RAPHAEL CASTILLO
Rank: MechWarrior (3096)/Star Captain (3105)/Star Colonel (3114)
Born: 3063 (33 in 3096)
MechWarrior Raphael was the lone native Castilian, a freeborn
no less, to succeed in the Trial of Position for the Keshik. Few
warriors would ever serve in the Keshik for as long as Raphael. His
exemplary performance in every combat action led to his former
surname Castillo being Founded as a Bloodname for the Clan,
with him the first to bear it. He took over Baker Star in 3105, and in
3114 he became deputy commander of the Keshik under saKhan
Arbuthnot. When Castillo was severely wounded in a raid against
the Hanseatic League in 3118, Khan Kirov rewarded his peerless and
dedicated service. ReKhan Castillo administered his birth world of
Aragon until his death in 3135 in a pirate attack. The 72-year old
Castillo sallied forth in his Cazador to fight alongside the solahma
garrison. The statue Saint Raphael Rampant depicts his battered
’Mech standing atop the Locust he downed before concentrated
enemy fire destroyed his cockpit.
HOMER BABA
Rank: saKhan
Born: 3104 (36 in 3140)
Homer Baba became saKhan in 3138, just in time to adjust to his
new position before the Hanseatic Crusade. The Baba Bloodname
had long been exclusive to Elementals, but limited genetic supplies
post-abjuration led the scientist caste to access a very old strain
to Propagate a parallel lineage for MechWarriors, meaning twice
as many Baba Bloodrights now exist. Baba is noted as the only
member of his sibko to pass his Trial of Position, though most
of the others passed a second trial and became vehicle crews in
PGCs. He claimed his Bloodname only after a truly ferocious Trial of
Bloodright that left a dozen candidates dead. Baba bears terrible
scars over most of his body, as his cockpit canopy cracked when his
last foe’s flamer blasted it point-blank. While his body caught fire,
he blew off his enemy’s head with a laser. Medics saved his life, but
he spent weeks recovering before he could celebrate his victory.
Surviving that nightmare made Baba completely unflappable in
any situation.
Special Pilot Abilities: Fist Fire (see p. 96, AS:CE, or p. 75, CO) and
Iron Will (see p. 97, AS:CE, or p. 76, CO).
SALVO BARCLAY
Rank: Star Commander
Born: 3115 (25 in 3140)
Salvo was born to an Eridani Light Horse lineage sibko. They were
the first such sibko after the Founding of ELH-related Bloodhouses.
He won his Bloodname in November 3139 after the prior holder
was killed on Bergen as part of a Seeker team. That event not only
led to his nomination for the Trial of Bloodright, but also sparked
the Hanseatic Crusade. His deft elimination of the other candidates,
in a trial notable for zero deaths, caught saKhan Homer Baba’s
attention. He requested Barclay issue a challenge to one of the
Keshik’s warriors for his position. The aging Trueborn thought to
6
win easily, but Barclay’s Fire Moth ran circles around his opponent’s
Hellion. Though he is a Star Commander, he serves as merely the
executive officer for Charlie Star’s commander, a sobering reminder
of the quality of warriors in the Keshik.
TURO VARELA
Rank: MechWarrior
Born: 3112 (28 in 3140)
Turo is a freeborn warrior whose sibko contained more than
a dozen notable warriors. One of his uncles, Jorge, outlasted
Hansa raiders on a colony world that was later named Holdout
in honor of the defenders’ refusal to submit. So great was Jorge’s
performance that Khan Scott Founded his former civilian surname
as a Bloodname for the Clan. Turo is one of many freeborns to hold
the Bloodname, as few Trueborn sibkos have been created. Turo
sees Hellion Keshik as but one rung on the ladder he intends to
climb. His sights are set on becoming the first freeborn Khan of Clan
Goliath Scorpion since its founding. He knows his skills are worthy,
and that he must prove himself in combat to earn promotion to
command rank. He also knows that politics play a major role in
attaining high rank, so he always seeks to endear himself to his
superiors. This has led to the impression that he is disingenuous
and perhaps not to be trusted.
BERNITA
Rank: Star Commander
Born: 3110 (30 in 3140)
Bernita is unique in the Keshik, as she is an Elemental bred
from Castilian genetics. Her lineage has not been honored with
a Bloodhouse, but she aims to change that. Thus, she pushes
herself and her Star harder than any other in the Keshik. Whenever
given the opportunity, she aggressively bids to be included in
any combat operation. She has forsaken socializing and instead
spends every off-duty moment studying tactics and strategy and
administration and every other facet of command. She will see
the Quiroga surname become a Bloodname or die in the quest to
make it so. Her single-minded focus has earned her few friends, but
she believes she does not need friends. She only needs enemies
to rend that she might prove her genetic worth to the Khan. Some
warriors in her Star have voiced concern about the dangerous risks
she takes in battle, seeking glory perhaps at the cost of their lives.
She is deaf to such talk, however, which could result in fratricide
for the greater good.
VALENTINA TAZEGÜL
Rank: saKhan
Born: 3126 (25 in 3151)
Valentina Tazegül’s election to saKhan followed tradition in
regards to her age and accomplishments. The ristar’s particular
combination of fighting skill, political acumen, and administrative
ability was recognized early and rewarded. She was born to a
Tazegül sibko, a rare bloodline that had not been widely used in
over a century. The Clan’s scientists began utilizing such archived
 Hellion
Hellion Keshik
Keshik
DNA samples early in the century to increase the Clan’s genetic
diversity. She is one of only a handful to bear the Bloodname,
given this rarity. Young Valentina took these facts as a challenge
to excel, and she did exactly that. As a recent entry to the warrior
caste, teenage Valentina claimed four kills from RDF 4 in the Battle
of Bremen. She was among the few of Tau Galaxy to survive the
city’s destruction. She was elected saKhan in December 3150, after
Homer Baba retired to the merchant caste. She was badly wounded
in the trial in the Chaine Cluster and has yet to wake from her
coma. Rumors persist that her position might go to her deputy,
Rudolf Schmidt, partly to pacify the restive elements in the former
Hanseatic League.
RUDOLF SCHMIDT
Rank: Star Colonel
Born: 3100 (51 in 3151)
“Old Man” Rudolf was formerly the second (and last) Captain-
Marshal of the Hanseatic Defense Force. He was made a bondsman
after ordering the surrender following the Merchant Council’s
futile suicide on Bremen. Khan Magon Scott Founded the Schmidt
Bloodname in 3145, a much shorter time than it took to do the
same for worthy Castilian and Umayyad warriors. Scott did this to
avert the long periods of insurgency that plagued the early Imperio.
This effort was mostly successful, though Schmidt tired of being
paraded around to give speeches. He had always been a soldier
and wished to be one again. He won a Trial of Position and became
a Star Commander in Alpha Galaxy before rising to Star Colonel
and executive officer of the new Eta Galaxy. When the Keshik
sought worthy challengers to fill several vacancies in 3149, Schmidt
became the oldest new member in the Keshik’s history. Despite his
age, he rates as perhaps the best MechWarrior in the command
and is the current executive officer to saKhan Valentina Tazegül. As
with Connor Rood’s election to saKhan after the Hellion absorption,
it is rumored that Schmidt might be elected to the position partly
as a political maneuver. With saKhan Tazegül incapacitated, he has
performed her duties exceptionally well. Schmidt’s departure from
Eta Galaxy, home to six Clusters of mostly Hansa freeborn warriors,
impacted morale there significantly.
Special Pilot Abilities: Sniper (see p. 99, AS:CE, or p. 80, CO) and
Tactical Genius (see p. 100, AS:CE, or p. 80, CO).

ARABELLE SWORD
Rank: Star Colonel
Born: 3128 (23 in 3151)
Arabelle “Broad” Sword commands the Keshik’s Elementals. Like
the saKhan, her sibko was bred using samples of archived DNA that
had long been dormant in the Clan’s breeding program. As such,
her sub-two-meter stature is reduced compared to more developed
Elemental bloodlines, but her fury suffers no such handicap. She
smashed and bashed her way through her Trial of Position and
raged that she was unable to join the Hanseatic Crusade. Her
determination not to miss the next war drove her to excel. Arabelle
did not react well to Rudolf Schmidt taking the executive role for
the Keshik over her, but Schmidt defeated her handily in her Trial of
Grievance. She hates the freeborn Hansa and often wishes she had
been in the Battle of Bremen that she might have slain him so he
could not now outrank her.
CALHOON
Rank: MechWarrior
Born: 3130 (21 in 3151)
Calhoon is a freeborn Hansa warrior from one of the first Hansa
sibkos. As a child of serfs, he was accustomed to obedience of
authority, and hard labor was already an old companion to the
ten-year-old. The opportunity to fight for one’s own land was a
new concept to those laboring under institutional servitude,
and the “serf sibkos” were among the best of those created post-
Crusade. Khan Scott speculated that eliminating slavery in the
former League might decrease the quality of Hansa freeborn
sibkos, but the massive pool for the laborer caste proved a boon to
the rebuilding required after the war. Calhoon’s family celebrated
news of his successful Trial of Position and his later trial for a post
in Hellion Keshik. His triumphs are few as yet but as a freeborn
ristar the eyes of every liberated serf in the former League watch
him closely.

First Dance, Last Rites

GAME SETUP
Recommended Terrain: Wilderness, Grasslands
If using mapsheets, Defender and Attacker alternate placing mapsheets with their
long edges touching. Attacker chooses a home edge. Defender’s home edge is the
opposite edge. Attacker and Defender must identify commanders of every Lance/Star.

Attacker
Recommended Forces: Pirates
Attacker places units at least 12 hexes (24”) from Attacker’s home edge before Turn
1. Attacker is a medium ’Mech company. Attacker’s units may be determined using
any Periphery RAT. Attacker is 3 lances (one each of heavy, medium, and light) of 4
’Mechs each. The heavy lance commander pilots an Awesome (the only Assault ’Mech in
Attacker’s force), and the medium lance commander pilots a Thunderbolt. (Variants may
be chosen from the RAT.) Attacker applies 3D6 damage to the front and 1D6 damage Hellion Keshik’s first training op

more of Attacker’s units before Turn 10; Attacker must prevent this. [800]

SPECIAL RULES
The following rules are in effect for this track:

Combat Drop
The unfamiliarity Hellion Keshik’s warriors had with one another led to a botched
combat drop (see p. 79, BMM). To reflect this, Attacker chooses landing zones for each
Star of the Keshik. Able Star must land between Attacker and Attacker’s home edge,

 Hellion
Hellion Keshik
Keshik
Charlie Star between Attacker and Defender’s home edge, and
Baker Star within 2 hexes (4”) of the middle of Attacker’s starting
positions. Defender uses the landing zone and adjacent hexes
as the target for the dropping units. All Piloting Skill Rolls for
landing are made with a +6 modifier; failed landing rolls cause
double the normal damage; units scatter toward the center of
the playing area by 1D6 hexes regardless of the Margin of Failure
(i.e., no units will scatter off the map).
Flurry Attack
Hellion Keshik is not required to observe zellbrigen against
pirates. Prior to the start of play, Defender secretly rolls 1D6+1; in
Turn 1D6+1, saKhan Dinour (if his unit is still active) may declare
a Flurry Attack on Attacker’s heaviest unit (see Unit Description,
p. 4). In all subsequent turns, Defender gains +3 to Initiative.
AFTERMATH
SaKhan Dinour snatched victory from the jaws of defeat by
initiating a Flurry Attack against the dezgra pirate leader. His
back-pedaling warriors rallied to this trust in them and began
downing enemies with their own such attacks. The pirates fled
after half their ’Mechs went down. The Keshik was victorious,
but the lackluster performance drove the saKhan to train
them and the whole of Hellion Galaxy relentlessly. The losses
to the ProtoMech Star were devastating, ending the time
of ProtoMechs in the Keshik. Soon, they would be extinct
throughout the Imperio.

Forced Withdrawal
Both Attacker and Defender operate under Forced Withdrawal
(see p. 126, AS:CE, or p. 81, BMM).

The Sea Fox Two-Step

GAME SETUP
Recommended Terrain: Arctic, Flatlands (Hamburg); Grasslands (Corell)
If using mapsheets, Defender arranges three mapsheets with their long edges
touching. Attacker chooses a home edge. Defender’s home edge is the opposite
edge. On Hamburg: All water hexes are considered Ice (see p. 48, TO:AR), paved

SPECIAL RULES Forced Withdrawal (Hamburg)

The following rules are in effect for this track:
Sly as a (Sea) Fox
As the strongest of the Sea Fox Clan’s Khanates, Tiburon
receives a +1 roll modifier when randomly generating the
weight classes of its units or Star-sized formations. In any
scenario where elements of Tiburon take part, one Star out of
every three Stars’ worth of Tiburon Khanate units may receive
the Sharp Shooters special command ability (see p. 107, AS:CE,
or p. 86, CO).
Both Attacker and Defender operate under Forced Withdrawal
(see p. 126, AS:CE, or p. 81, BMM).
AFTERMATH
OvKhan Lester Kalasa was disgraced by his lackluster
per formance, which hinged on underestimating the
cleverness of Hellion Keshik’s commander. Twice. He lost a Trial
of Grievance attempting to retain his rank and was sent to a
solahma unit.

Commanders
Both Attacker and Defender must identify the ’Mechs of the
Trinary commander and each Star’s commander.
