2 June, 3064 – The Falcons arrive. They have brought the 7th Falcon Regulars and the Jade Falcon Eyrie Clusters of their Rho Galaxy. The 7th are regular forces and the Eyrie green. The 7th was almost destroyed at Tukkayid and has been rebuilding ever since, and lost its elite status then.

The 7th Regulars have 3 trinaries of mechs (45 mechs) and the Eyrie has 50 mechs or other units (5 binaries).

We have secured a small area to be the proxy battle for Dustball. We show the Falcons around. As the defending force, we basically get to choose who we are using for battle. We are using two sets of elements:

1). The Command Company (since it’s been refitted and fixed back up)
2). All of the fighters we have – 18 from Hell’s Black Aces, the 18 from the local government, and the two we captured from Blair Atholl – 38 fighters. They only have 20 fighters at their disposal, but they are all clan fighters, and clan pilots.

We will be interweaving the battle over the landscape. Dustball is a nasty world, settled once because people thought it had a lot of mining potential, but it didn’t, and few people live here any more, in five domed cities. We are fighting outside the domes, in heavy winds. The locals know the winds, and their aerospace fighters should have an advantage, even though they are just regular pilots.

They are sending against our defense:

One full trinary from the 7th

All 20 of their fighters

1 star of Elementals (25 total)

So 20 points of units against our 12, plus fighters vs fighters. The fighters will be fighting in the space above the battle.

Because this is a battle for a planet, we have negotiated for some things if they lose:

1). They will repair, fix, and rearm all of the mechs or fighters we salvage today. This does not include those we salvaged before.
2). We will gain one of their Broadsword DropShips they brought with them, as well as the crew. We have fought for a DropShip before in this manner, and we have gained the Union C, which we are using in this campaign, from the clans. The Broadsword isn’t as good though.
