I am Star Admiral Stane Breen.
By the will of the Khan of Viper's Northgate station, and all of Clan Ice Hellion's personnel and force's here are claimed for the steel Viper.
I bring our Alpha and Beta Naval Star's to enforce the Khan's will. As you are trueborn warrior's who have held to Kerensky's vision I will grant you honorable combat with what force will you contest our right.
Steel Viper Alpha and Beta Naval Star's

New Dominion arrives first.
A star of frigates from the New Dominion arrived to assist a Cluster of Marine BA with Aero support to trial for North Gate Station.
"Your leadership has rejected our offer freeing us to trail for this station. Prove your might and earn your claim to keep what is yours. Fail, and the New Dominion shall recover what we created."
"The stravag Raven's have arrived before us..we must sit idleand wait for them to complete their trial!"
"Aff we must wait but we shall not sit Idle. Open Communication's with the Raven Naval Star. Broad Transmission I want the Ice Hellion's to hear this too!"
"I am Star Admiral Breen I hereby challenge you to a trial of possession for the Genetic Legacy of your Star Admiral, and a trial for possession of your Naval Star as they are not bid into your challenge with the Ice Hellions I suspect your warriors would prefer a battle then to sit idle Quaiff!"
"Attention Dominion commander, your batchal has been heard and accepted. One star of elementals from the Northgate Station Provisional Marine Cluster will defend the honor of our Clan."
"So shall it be. As there are vipers waiting in the wings, the winning bid is 1 Star plus two points of Battle Armor from Star Commander Rene."
I don't know what skill your guys are, but mine are regulars. :P
The station defenders are regulars as well.

"I accept your challenge with a caviat. It is a very simple one. You have three hours to prove you know what you are doing. All you have to do is name the Star Admiral in command of this Naval Star, if you can not, you will leave this system and never return. Can you do that Star Admiral Breen of the Steel Viper Clan? For I believe that you have no idea who you face and that you do not care. You show up with your best ships and if this was just for the Naval Star, I would understand and face you in combat. But we consider the legacies of the founders sacred in such a way that Falcons and apparently now Vipers can not fathom! So go ahead Star Admiral Breen. What is my name?"
Here is a hint. The voice is decidedly gruff, but female.
Dave, how do you want to handle round 1?
I'm OK with simple resolution. Pure BA vs BA fights aren't terribly exciting in MM. Unless you want to play it in MechWarrior 4? Its got battle armor in it.
I would pass on that. With the BV so low, how about we Roll it out with 1 point per point so we have numbers we can work with?
Actually, zell would apply here so... Roll for each point, highest number wins, loser accepts Hegira? Units that are left go to the next round? But all rounds would count as OP1 for the purpose of time.
So I would do 5 rolls with two points standing by.

That sounds reasonable.

Arrogant Raven Star Captain Orin Zalmann read back to me the Raven's formal challenge to the Hellions! I will have this Star Admiral's head and her legacy.
"Her name was not within her challenge. Nor the designation of her Star. A most chalca challenge Star Admiral."
" OF ALL THE DEZGRA Freebirth tactics!"
"Let us teach this Surat a lesson Star Admiral let my Alpha Star show them what it mean's to mock the Steel Viper! "
"No Star Captain the Challenge is already accepted."
We care not for the Raven founder's blood line's their weakness was proved in their high losses during Klondike and then again in their falling prey to the not-named. But... a founder. Blood House Kerensky? It must be.
"But which Raven Kerensky?
"It does not matter Star Captain. Her challenge is for her name, whether she is Nakita Kerensky or another she has failed in concealing her identity Star Captain and her name is Kerensky of that I am sure. Whatever other name's she holds that is her name and she is subject to her own wording of her challenge. Open a Channel."
"Star Admiral I found your challenge interesting but now I name your name as Kerensky you are of that blood house Quiaff? With what force do you bid against the might of the Steel Viper."

As the last three CIH points are defeated, the commander of Northgate Station turns of the command codes to the station to the Dominion - though how long the Dominion will remain owners is a matter the Steel Vipers seem keen to discuss...

With the time gap from transmission times, there was only chance for the Vipers to guess.
"I see you have guessed, and as I thought you would, you have failed in your Chalcas challenge to undermine the leadership of Clan Snow Raven. I am Star Admiral Jessica Waters and no forces need to be bid as all conditions of the trail have been met and satisfied. Take your forces elsewhere and never return."
"Filthy Surat! You are lucky that the Steel Viper's have more honor then you chalca Raven's. You sought to delude me that yours was a bloodline we might actually use? It seems your line has breed well for cunning but poorly for courage."
"There is no honor to be found in defeating one such as you. Huddle in your station fledge! For it is the only place in the Universe you will be safe from trueborn warriors."
Viper BARCap fighter's and dropship begin docking procedure's and prepare to initiate jump sequence.
OOC: Was only ever intending to guess once.
"Before you leave Star Admiral Breen. I wish to request your presence aboard the station so that we may share any information on the lack of communications from the Homeworlds. It is my understanding that your forces have been actively jumping from station to station Quiaff?"
