42nd Crimson Guards (CO: Star Colonel Joel Ban Chu)
12.75 FP Elite/Reliable
I am Star Colonel Joel Ban Chu, and Tranquil is by rights the property of Clan Blood Spirit. We come for this entire world in the way the Founder has taught. And while I have brought all of the 42nd Crimson Guards.
Neg Star Colonel Joel Ban Chu, It is the Blood Sword Keshik whom will take the field of honor against the Wolf Clan! I honor your warrior heart in moving so quickly from your garrison to support me in this Trial but the honor of battle with the Wolves shall belong to me and my Keshik. Submit or I shall show you the error of your presumption in single combat.
Blood Guard Keshik
14FP Elite/Fanatical
saKhan Church, Star Colonel Ban Chu, which ever of you is successful in your decision, you will be defeated by a binary of mechs from the 3rd Garrison Cluster. When we have defeated you, you will ensure with your honor and actions our safe transit from this world to carry out our duty. This will include the facilities we possess. At that time, if you still wish to claim the planet of Tranquil, you may, due to the honor you still show while surrounded by the chaclas of the other clans.
1.75 FP Binary R/R.
pardon the intrusion in this tete-a-tete, but initiative is required here.
Horses:
[blockquote]Rolled 2d6 : 2, 3, total 5[/blockquote]
Spirit Initiative
[blockquote]Rolled 2d6 : 1, 1, total 2[/blockquote]
edit: see new post.
Given the above initiative rolls, I believe this has the Horses arriving first. Therefore I would draw your attention to this thread:

Thanks.
How bizarre. Somethng just killed off my new thread. Must be those damn Terrans!!
Tranquil Space
The arrival of the Warships heralded an even larger influx of combat jumpships. All bearing Horse Alliance colours. Quickly establishing the naval blockade, Star Admiral Tomas Kardaan turned his attention to the ground force element of his mission.
ooc: Tranquil is Blockaded by 58FP of naval forces, including two Warships. As the Horses won initiative, I believe this puts the Blood Spirit forces arriving after the blockade is in place.

How bizarre. Somethng just killed off my new thread. Must be those damn Terrans!!
OOC: not so much killed as merged... this way everything will stay in one tidy location for posterity's sake.
Whoops, just re-merged. Please keep this as one thread. I will eventually be archiving these threads in the future and having two threads for one system might lead to lost data.
Aboard the Blood Spirits' flag JumpShit, saKhan Church sent a brief message to the Horses' commander.
"Hail, Hell's Horses. I am saKhan Caden Church of Clan Blood Spirit. We have no quarrel with you, and wish to have no... mishaps. If you insist on helping us Abjure these Wolves, let us work together to do so, and thus share the glory in battle. Show us that at least one Clan of Kerensky is capable of working with another as brothers."
Meanwhile, barring any move on the part of the Horses' on-site WarShips and attendant fighters and DropShips, the Spirit forces continued to burn towards Tranquil to carry out their Trial with Clan Wolf.
No Wolf naval presense. Submit your batchall when you are ready.
Raven Initiative
[blockquote]Rolled 2d6 : 6, 2, total 8[/blockquote]
CSR win initiative by the looks of it. They will have to state their intentions before everyone else in the queue.
The arrival of eight Raven Warships was merely a demonstration to show the Wolves below that they meant business. Unless the CWS Jobs was present, Star Admiral Asif Cole figured there would be little to obstruct the delivery of his cargo. Within minutes, scans confirmed his thoughts. "Galaxy Commander, your path is clear. You have the Khan's support to request any additional fighters you may need."
From the mech bays of an Overlord Class Dropship, the CSRS Wings of Death, Galaxy Commander Tristen Crow responded. "Affirmative Star Admiral. You will be informed if you will be needed." After some time, the egg shaped dropship and it's escorts burned hard for the planet below. The techs patched the message thru from the cockpit of his Warhawk, "I am Galaxy Commander Tristen Crow of Gamma, the Hawkshead Galaxy. By Beak and Talon, the Raven has come to claim this world as one of our nests. However, it appears that the wolves everywhere in the Universe have joined the Ranks of the Exiled. A shame for you, I offer you the opportunity to run and join your degraza leaders, or prove your worth as a Clanner and fight for the right to be in a worthy clan. Either way, I claim this planet and it's facilities and resources, for a clan that still follows the ways of the founder. What say you? Are you warriors? Or will you be like the Coyotes on the Run? No better then Bandits."
"Galaxy Commander, I am Star Colonel Victor of the 3rd Garrison Cluster. Intelligence reports indicate you have dealt honorably with both halves of our reunited clan. On that basis, I would expect the same to continue, as you appear to be a true clan of Kerensky, unlike others. I will accept your challenge. However, in the spirit of full disclosure, Clan Blood Spirit issued a challenge on Strana Mechty for all of our possessions in the homeworlds. On the off chance you defeat us, just be aware you have that issue to deal with. However, we are Clan Wolf, Kerensky's own chosen. There is a reason for that. We still adhere to his ways, unlike many in the Grand Council. That we choose to not associate with that cancer any longer does not change who or what we are. Our forces are bidding for the right to defeat you. Once we defeat you, you will allow us SafCon and protect our departure from this world and the homeworlds. For that, you may claim this world and deal with the Blood Spirits how you will. We will take our infrastructure with us as well when we defeat you. I look forward to facing a clan who does not cower behind the ilKhan's skirts in honorable combat."
There is an obvious interuption in the back ground, though what is said can not be heard.
"My apologies Galaxy Commander. Star Captain Mitchell of the 1st Garrison Cluster aero trinary wishes to defend our claim for the infrastructure from you seperately. He and his have not seen combat in some time and wish to test themselves against those who believe themselves to be Kerensky's superior naval clan. What say you Galaxy Commander?"
"We will address the Spirits 'claims' when they show up. As far as we are concerned, they offer you honors you are no longer entitled to as abjured. If you had acted as bandits, we would have treated you as such and allowed you a head start before we hunted you down. As the commander in charge I acknowledge your request for separate trials. As you can see, we brought more then enough warriors to go around. Provide your warriors codices and my commanders to formulate their bids."
Notably missing from Tristen's dialogue were the usual adjectives about the Ravens considering fighting you an honor.
Looking for MA and MM proxies. Contact me if you are interested.
I dare say that this would be a suitable time for which the Horses to arrive in. Obviously the Raven force will instantly see the arriving Horse fleet, lead by a Nightlord.
When the Horses arrive, they already see eight warships in the system, led by the CSRS Scabbard (Aegis) Totaling 109.5 FP
The Spirits' forces arrive in time to see both the Horses and the Ravens, with considerable naval forces, already present at Tranquil. Pointedly ignoring both, they continued their burn towards Tranquil to engage the Wolves in the Trial which both had already committed to.
Still waiting on Wolf Bid.
(What are we doing here, guys? It's been 10 days.)
Guess we will be going to SimpRes, as I have had no one want to proxy. :(
Aff, but we still have no bid from the wolves.
Understood. I had not bid, because, I don't create the forces for others to fight. :)
Heavy Trinary from the 3rd Garrison Cluster. 2.625 FP.
Hmmm...Please disregard the second bid. It appears that I was mistaken about which world this was. This bid is correct and for the whole kit and kabootle.
Tristen watched intently as the bid is answered. "I Star Captain Tyberius admire your strong bid of heavy mechs. I hope your aim is true for you shall be very busy facing the Avalanche Minghinate!"
CSR will match the wolf bid with 2.625 FP of the Avalance Minghinate
As the wolves recieve the pilot date, it takes time to go thru the list of over 100 warriors. Checking the list only 5 names were mechwarriors in light mechs, the rest were elementals and failed pilots in Protomechs.

Salvage Pool is 2.75 FP half of wich (1.5 FP) goes to Clan Snow Raven because of Trial where Zell was followed.
Avalance Minhinate is at full and will bank the remaining .5 RP.
We don't know what the Total Wolf presense was, but they are down a total of 1.5 FP and are granted Safcon by the Ravens.
"Make preperations to receive the Spirits and Horses. I have a proposal for them."
OOC - Are any of the other clans going to prevent us from leaving?
(The Blood Spirits won't.)
(Yeah, it's the Horses up there with the Nightlord)
Since the Wolf forces fought the trial v's CSR under Clan honour rules and abided by them, then the Horses will conform to the Raven offer of safcon.
And the Ravens grant the Horses and Spirits Safcon to join us for a meeting.
"The trail against Clan Wolf was a success Trothkin. The power of our new Raven Proto Galaxy took the defenders by suprise. How will you fare? In regards to the planet itself the Ravens are prepared to accept both of your claims to enclaves here with the following stipulations, you must prove yourselves worthy. We are Clan and the following offer is simple, and straight-forward." Galaxy Commander Crow motioned to a map. "The areas to the east and west both have useful mining resources and vegetation." These areas, he pointed to Clan Snow Raven sucede to you. "The area's here have other values. The natural gas reserves of the Katyusha quadrant, and the isles here with a premier fishing lane. There are plenty of medicinal purposes here instead of just food."
Game Terms: Clan Snow Raven offers you each 4 Hexes for arriving like us to force the disgraced from our territory. In addition, we offer to accept a Trial of possession from each of you for 2 more hexes. After that, all boundries shall be respected by the ilKhan's decrees.
OOC: I have no idea what's on tranquil. I'm making this all up :P
After three hours, the representatives returned. "The Horses challenge you for this extra territory. Our bid is a reinforced Binary of Hell's Horses finest!" Star Colonel Joel Ban Chu quickly spoke up. "We of the Blood Spirits also Challenge! The Snow Raven once again shows honor and we shall not forget this. However, since our finest have proven themselves of greater worth then those Horses, we shall only require a single Nova to take our claim!" The smug glare at the Horse representative didn't phase him at all. Tristen enjoyed seeing that his opponents had spirit and enjoyed revealing his bid even more. " The Ravens have anticipated these bids and bid aggressively for the honor of facing you in the battlefield." He handed them each datapad consisting of the warriors they would be facing. "The Spirits will be facing Star Captain Herod and his Nova of 1st Raven Regulars. Their deeds are the closest we have to your Crimson Guards and should prove quite a challenge. The Horses, will have to prove themselves against a tough opponent that is very familiar with your tactics. Although you do not have the pleasure of facing Star Colonel Hakimi herself, a combined arms Binary of the 12th Raven Garrison Cluster stand ready to hold this land from you, but in reduced numbers. Each of you have one advantage, size for the spirits, numbers for the horses, but you face some of the finest Ravens in our Touman. Bargained well and done."

Star Colonel Charles Dwelley had hoped that the Ravens would put up a aerospace unit so that his own fighters would be given an opportunity to show their worth. And while they could still do so against the Raven ground force, the Horses traditional love of combined arms would serve to claim the day.
108th Mechanized Cavalry (Veteran/Reliable) 2FP of combined arms
ooc; btw, I don't recall trading with the Ravens for the Gnome BA. Did you get the spec somewhere else?
