No Response to Peace Proposal
Tharkad, District of Donegal, Lyran Commonwealth
There has been no response from any of the other
Successor Lords to
the Peace Proposal issued last month by Archon Katrina Steiner. With
no indication of the other rulers' responses, the mood of people
throughout the Commonwealth is upbeat.
"Getting no immediate response is a good sign I think,"
said
Amy Lotz of Donegal. "It means they're actually thinking about
the proposal seriously."
"It is still too soon to expect an answer from the
other Houses,"
expressed Rita Schwartz of the Commonwealth Public Relations Office,
"we will probably get their replies in a month or two. Until then
we hope that they consider the Peace Proposal with open minds."
Wolf's Dragoons Arrive at Caledonia
Caledonia, Rahneshire, Lyran Commonwealth
The Wolf Dragoons arrived at Caledonia on their way to
the Kuritan
border. The Dragoons, arguably the best mercenary unit in the Inner
Sphere,
signed a long-term contract last month with House Steiner. Archon
Katrina
Steiner was impressed with last year's assault of the Hesperus
Battlemech
Factories.
"Any unit that can single-handedly fight their way to
the gates
of the factories is obviously very good," commented the Archon. "Hiring
them away from House Marik is preferable to having to fight them
again."

"The Dragoons
probably won't see any major action for the rest of
the year," commented analyst Carolyn Thompson of Dobless Inc. "They
took
heavy losses in the 13th Battle for Hesperus and it'll take months for
them to refill their ranks."
Grey Turtles First in the Amateur League
Solaris, Rahneshire, Lyran Commonwealth
The Grey Turtles started the second half of the Amateur
League
season in first place with 57 points. The Turtles are composed of
former
members of the DCMS - all were disgraced and forced to leave the
Combine.
With their distinctive grey and white heavy mechs, the Turtles have won
seven straight matches and are the favorites to win the AL crown.
This Date in History
In 2341 Michael Cameron, Director General of the Terran
Hegemony,
officially recognized the Lyran Commonwealth; making it the second
youngest
Successor State. The Commonwealth was and is still composed of three
states:
the Tamar Pact, the Federation of Skye, and the Protectorate of
Donegal.
Each state was ruled by a mercantile family: respectively the Tamars,
the McQuistons, and the Marsdens. It was not until 2408 when the first
Steiner, Katherine, assumed the Archonship of the Commonwealth.
