Indicass, September 30, 3045 From August 28, 3045 to September 14, some 80% of St. Ives' military forces performed scenarios ranging from insurgency in the Sarna Marches of the Federated Commonwealth to anti-subversive defense in their own territory, from repelling a Liao invasion to mounting one of their own. VTOL attached to St Ives Cheveau Legers refuels in mid-air during St.Ives Wargames "No, the date chosen was no accident!" explained a cadet member, of the Chevau Legers who prefers to remain anonymous. "It's the date the Fourth Succession War began with the attack on the Capellans. Our Duchess is rattling her sister's cage." A spokesman for the planetary government of Ambergrist volunteered this explanation on his home world, "The militia, home defense, even the block wardens are participating in the wargames. Chancellor Romano Liao has seen fit to attack this world several times in the past. Our Duchess Candace Liao has given us the best troops in the Inner Sphere, the Second Kell Hounds, for our garrison. They've kept us alive; it's that simple. Any backup they need, they've act." Readers whose memories of the Fourth Succession War are a little more personal then the cadet's may remember the Second Kell Hounds when they were Bradley's Bravos, heroes of the long bitter defense of the planet Northwind. It's good to know that they're appreciated in their new home. BattleTechnology News Service Archon Melissa Back to School! Patrick Kell's Son Found!
