Snakes Land on Harrow's Sun
Harrow's Sun, Draconis March, Federated Suns
Four Kuritan Battlemech regiments landed on Harrow's
Sun two weeks
ago. The Rats had spread rumors that the defenders of Harrow's Sun had
been
rotated out with no replacements, leaving the planet open to attack.
Meanwhile the Rats had secretly shipped in the 7th Crucis Lancers and
the
9th Ceti Hussars to trap any raiding force coming their way.
They must have been surprised to see four elite
regiments drop in to
their party. Word is that the Rats are running scared into the
mountains
while the Snakes munch on yummy rat stew. Another example of the
dubious
parentage of a certain Fox.
Redjack Ryan Strikes Again
Winfield, Trellshire, Lyran Commonwealth
Word has it that Redjack Ryan raided Winfield early
this month. Protec-
ting Winfield is Winfield's Brigade, who were unable to stop Ryan. Ryan
reportedly sacked a supply dump and got away with some mechs and a
generous
helping of spare parts. Rumor has it that Leutnant-Colonel Davis
Winfield
was too busy drinking at the local bar to organize a defense.
This is Redjack Ryan's third consecutive raid. He will
probably have to
return to Butte Hold soon for rest and refit. When asked, Redjack said
that
he wants to go to Tharkad to give Melissa Steiner a late birthday
present.

So even with
the fighting in the Kessel Prefecture, the DCMS may start
a campaign against the Federated Suns. If they do so, we worry that the
Lyran Commonwealth will succeed and capture some worlds of the Combine.
Jumpship Manufacturing Center Found in Star's End
Star's End, Independent World, Periphery
It seems that the Belt Pirates have found a jumpship
manufacturing
center in the Star's End system. Naturally, this is a bit hard to
believe,
but Morgan Fletcher isn't saying anything so maybe it's a little true.
Nearby pirates such as Redjack Ryan or Hendrik Grimm may try to take it
away from Morgan. That'll pretty hard since Morgan and her band have
been
living there forever and they're well entrenched.
History: The Oberon Confederation
Round about two score years ago, Colonel Hendrik Grimm
and the 65th
Lyran Regulars conducted a diversionary raid on Graham IV in the
Schizoid
League. The raid went badly and the unit had to retreat after being
mauled
badly. Ol' Hendrik blamed the Lyrans for leaving him to die. So he
raided
a couple of worlds and left for the Periphery.
The Confederation has almost a dozen worlds near the
Lyran/Snake border.
Hendrik III has changed the primary economy away from piracy. The
Confede-
ration is almost self sufficient and provides security and raiding
forces
for other worlds.
