...and the "sanctioned ones" that had a Letter of Marque were called "corsairs".

Of course, a real plot twist not seen in fan fiction would be for the Wolf's Dragoons to turn crusader, let the Clans know "we've been had" and "the scavenger lords are unworthy, let us liberate the IS from their yoke". I just looove the smell of plot twist in the morning... :D

Ah, the good old "how is weather on Strana Mechty", can't go wrong with that one. :D We should tempt Ed to join us here on the Sietch.

Yes, I have no problems with the writing.

What is shocking is that the rest of the ComStar went with it. It's one thing when they have unchallenged monopoly, it's completely different when they don't. Because right now, the Inner Sphere can tell ComStar "You know full well that you imposed blackout for no apparent reason other then...

Please hurry up then... 😁

I wonder what the Inner Sphere reaction will be at Taurians openly fielding a WarShip... Small one but a WarShip still. ComStar will shit a brick, as will other powers and their intelligence agencies, along the lines of "how the f*uck did we miss the Bulls having a WarShip?!”

As always very nice. That being said: "powerful enough thugs" - unless you mean beating the debris up, "tugs" is the word. ;)

@paulobrito: I think it should be "details at your discretion" rather then "description". Otherwise very good as always. :D

As mercenaries, the GDL could have sold copies to every major player (maybe sans ComStar), simply because none of them could afford to be the only ones without. ;)

Quite nice, but I really doubt just 4 mechs even begin to cover the value of the Helm Data Core... "Priceless" would be closer to it, had they made an exclusive offer to any of the Great Houses a planetary fief wouldn't be too much...

I'll be looking forward to whatever you come up with. ;)

And this, in turn, is where you put "creative" in "creative writing". There is no shortage of stories / SIs / crossovers where author adds this or that person / faction / plot twist, only to continue with overall plot progression being more or less the same as per OTL, sometimes with some...

As co-head of state (even if a small one) your bargaining position towards the Concordat would be so much stronger... (And you could always offer personal union in future for a Calderon marriage for your eventual kids, Inner Sphere (ok, the Periphery) Game of Thrones for the win!). :D

Considering this is Battletech, so "Ho, Feudalism in Space!", marriage as calculated, pragmatic choice is the norm here. If you could do that with a genuine relationship (best strike the iron while hot...) as basis, so much the better. So why don't you formalize your relationship by making a...

All in all very interesting story. I'm not that much of a Battletech fan, but I do like rooting for the underdogs, and a story set in the Periphery about people having to tough it out and make do with what (little) they have is far more interesting then about the adventures of an all-Atlas...
