I believe he was Ryan steiner, but I missed the older BT books that are no longer in print and I don't think the libraries around here carry them and I don't know of any used book stores in Henderson.

Correct Moose...good job.

Foct is not Ryan Steiner. Ryan Steiner ate a bullet on Solaris but that is a future trivia question.

Kai's mech was called Yen Lo Wang (which was a centurion i think), who i beleive was a Chinese god of death, or something similar. One of the variants had special myomer fibres that made it stronger when they were running at a higher temperature, enabling him to perform greater feats of strength with his mech, such as carry a couple of mcats over a cliff to save Victor Davions life.

Dunno about the other 2 questions tho

Phelen Ward excelled at wrestling and hand to hand combat in the circle of equals.

I remember Martial Focet , but that read was over 6 years ago for me ..



In 3021, a Lyran Commonwealth unit known as Carlyle's Commandos were sent to garrison Trell I, a backwater world near the coreword edge of Lyran space. In the winter of 3024, a politically ambitious Kurita noble, Duke Hassid Ricol, attacked the world in an attempt to torpedo an agreenment between the Commonwealth and a Perihery bandit king--and to win control of the tactically useful planet for his own ends. The attack destroyed the Commandos, killing unit commander Durant Carlyle and sending his son, Grayson Death Carlyle, into hiding. Determined to avenge his fathger's death, Grayson recieved his chance when fate put him in the middle of a firefight between Treel infanrty forces and 'Mechs belonging to Duke Ricol. By seizing command of the faltering infanrty, Grayson managed to take down a Wasp and capture a Locust intact. This was the birth of the Gray Death Legion--one functioning 'Mech and a handful of motorized infantry.

Frederick Steiner

Correct, but how did he become Foct? You have part of the answer but not near all.

Posted: 06 Jan 2003, 10:41
by VEGETA
Well Buff I have to look that up as well hehehe. I honestaly don't quite know that much. I think part of the answer is int he same novel, but not sure ehehhe.

And Trell was correct. But still that dose not name the unit that used the wasp and locus to help drive the DC off planet and became the Merc unit >:)=


And not suprising no one got that little habbit i was talking about. >:)=. Hint its in the novel Lost Destiny.

Kai Allard Liao did NOT take a MC over a cliff, it was a THOR that put Yen Lo Wang in a bear hug and so YLW fell with the Thor. Later on YLW was salvaged.
