Magnus is grafted safcon by the local Ghost Bear forces. Because we are on the border with the Combine, even if just one world is one jump away, the 10th Bear Cuirassiers are here on planet. A part of Ghost Bear’s Omega Galaxy, regular, reliable, 60% of full strength right now, normally they’d have four trinaries. (60 mechs) but they have around 40 or so. They’re rebuilding after the war, they savaged the Nova Cat holdings in the war a few years ago.
They haven’t had any battles against anyone outside of Tinaca ever since the war ended a few years ago, and they are chomping at the bit.
6 February, 3066 – We land on Tinaca and initiate a batchall for a Trial of Possession for a full star, 25, of Elemental battle suits.
The units are hanging out and getting ready for the Trial in two days. Magnus, as a former Ghost Bear, spends time catching up on the latest information (non-sensitive) of the clan.
8 February, 3066 – We have the Trial for today
Because the Bear is rebuilding here, they don’t want to lose a lot of mechs. They don’t mind a star of empty Elemental Armor. That’s easily replaceable. We agree to give them our captured Kingfisher Prime if we lose. That’ll help them rebuild one more mech. They dropped to less than 50% in 3063, and have rebuilt slowly over the last 3 years.
As such, they will not be fighting today with mechs. Nor fighters. Nor Elementals. Instead, they agree to fight, unaugmented, in a Circle of Equals, with their leader defending the Elementals. Their Star Colonel is an Elemental. Therefore we need an Elemental’s sized person to face him.
Their Star Colonel is a veteran, and we have that elite Elemental we captured from Falcon, so she’ll step up and face him in the Trial of Possession. Our tanks, mechs, and so forth are out and arrayed to watch the battle. We have one squad of Elementals here, and we can use her to defeat him (the other squad with the other mission)
Due to the experience difference, I am giving us a 1-4 on a d6 chance of winning, and them a 5 or a 6. Odd are in our favor and we roll a 1.
Yay!
We have defeated their Star Colonel today, our Elemental knocked him out. We won 25 suits of Armor.
We have the captured 17 Elementals that are currently not with armor take up 15 of these suits immediately to give us three more points of Battle Armor.
