May 14, 3064 - Hsien Hotheads has just finished a contract with the Free Worlds League. This is a unit that was formed more than 250 years ago in 2781. The Capellan Confederation attacked Hsien, captured it, and exiled the noble rulers. The Twohy family. They left and formed a mercenary unit with all of the loyalist people from Hsien that left with them.

They took a ton of JumpShips and DropShips when they left, and they have lots of units and such. They wanted to do lots of assaults and raids to get good money and salvage to pay their upkeep, but over the years they were pushed into debt from being forced to upkeep their transport via garrison deals and such.

After years of keeping their debt deeper and deeper with the FedCom, they were given a ton of cash from Word of Blake to free themselves, (many mercenary units in the FedCom have become virtual house units due to their company store-esque debt). They took a contract for Blake and headed outside of the Inner Sphere into the deep periphery for a few years, then they came back to do a tour of duty in the Free Worlds League.

Their contract is up, and we have a huge offer for them. Come home. After more than 250 years in the wilderness, Hsien isn’t under control of House Liao and the Hotheads aren’t tied down to a major contract. The unit was handed down from parent to child, and the Twohy are still in charge.

They can come home, be a normal unit, no longer worried about finances, no longer worried about debt. United again, at last.


Hsien Hotheads arrive as a regular unit of the Coalition and in the employ of them generally and the local world specially, just like all of the other regular units we have.

They will be garrisoning Hsien and its twin Elgin for us. They have a ton of JumpShips and DropShips from that run.

Hsein Hotheads – Regiment of mechs, veteran, reliable, Col. Brenna Twohy in charge.

They favor attacking, fast medium/heavies with a lot of power, and not that many slower assaults or weaker lights. Speed and power.

After arriving, Brenna Twohy, a direct descendant of the original Duke Robert Twohy, has been widely celebrated locals, and she has refrained from getting involved in politics, but there’s obviously a long lost love there, and we are happy to bring them back together. Note that the government we set up there is democratic, so they could certainly elect Twohy if they wanted, to be their leader, or on their council.
