Nov 15 – We get word that several systems have been attacked already.
Nov 18 – A large WarShip had jumped into the Vorarlberg system. It does not appear to be Ghost Bears.
Nov 26 – Galaxy Commander Conal Ward contacts the world and issues a batchall he doesn’t expect to be answered.
Colonel Braham Essex responds, and identifies his unit. The Wolves seemed happy to see him, since his troops, the 11th Wolf Guards Cluster wants to try their mettle against his forces. Clan Wolf is the only clan to win all of its battles. There is no Twycross or Wolcott or even a Thule on its history. It took more systems than any other clan and suffered no losses. Clan Wolf also has a tendency to keep battle away from civilians, but there are exceptions. They believe in overwhelming force and being out in the open.
Braham offers a battle against just a company of his men and mechs, nothing special. We’ve fought smaller battles against the Ghost Bear, Steel Viper and Smoke Jaguar. Wolf is very interested in a small battle that can be done in an hour and decides everything – they are interested in steam rolling as many systems as possible.
They had expected the Ghost Bears to attack, and had a garrison for them, but things change. Braham will be defending with his best company, his own Shadow Company. He will not be taking Wolf to the minefield.
(For the Wolves, I don’t even have to roll up units – the exact units and names of pilots and everything is included in the Wolf Clan Sourcebook. )
As a reminder, here is Shadow Company’s all Level 2 company with mostly older designs from the Star League and Braham’s special Orion.
