Prologue: Arrival of a new fighter, House Marik's entry.
In the Depths of space, a bright light emerges. A ship appears where none were seconds ago. It is the FWLS Sparta, a Zechetinu Class Corvette Warship. Attached to it is another, smaller ship, called a Dropship. This one is a Leopard Class ship, designed to shuttle combat machines called Battlemechs to the battlefield. This particular one, called Lightning, has been converted, sacrificing it's fighter bays for 250 tons of cargo room, as well as room for 4 squads of armored troopers and some extra living quarters. It's payload, Tango Lance of the 7th Free Worlds Legionnaires, were en route from a battlezone on the border of Marik space, when trouble struck.
"Where are we?" Asks Captain Ahmed Pervez, captain of the Sparta. "Well, sir," reports a bridge tech, "we got knocked off course when we activated the K-F Drive sir. There's a planet not to far from here. Should we check it out?" Ahmed looks annoyed, but sighs, and turns to Tango Lance Commander. "Well, Lieutenant? What do you think?" "Sure," replies Lt. Matthew Kabrinski, commander of Tango Lance, "why not. We've got at least 2 weeks til we're ready to go anyway." "Cpt. Pervez," says a bridge tech. "Yes?" "We just picked up a signal sir. Should I put it up on the main monitor?" "Hmm. Yeah, go ahead." On the monitor - ~Well, in just a week, the 13th annual Gundam fights will begin. The year long tournament is ready to begin. Who will be crowned the Gundam of Gundams this year, and earn their colony the right to govern all of the colonies for the next 4 years?~
"What's a gundam, Lt?" "I have no Idea, Pervez. They look like battlemechs, though. Tell the Lightning's Crew to prepare her for transport. Might as well enter this tournament myself." "You sure that's a good idea, sir?" "Why not. If I win it, then the FWLS will have increased the size of it's borders." "Good point." "Captain Pervez, we have a fix on our location, sir." "Good. So, where are we?" a map of the Inner Sphere appears from a holotable. "Right here sir. We over shot our target, and ended up about 2 light years from Free Worlds League, or even Inner Sphere, Territory." "So we're in the Periphery?" "Yes Sir, just not in any well charted region. This area was figured to be devoid of life." "Well, guess the exploration teams were wrong. Right then. Set a course for the fourth planet. Upon arrival, detach the Lightning. It can continue on from there. Lt. Kabrinski, we'll wait around the fourth planet while we recharge the K-F Drive and L-F Battery. If you need support, call for it." "Roger that Captain. I want you to contact Atredies, and inform the LCCC of our location and current mission." "No problem, Lieutenant." Lt. Kabrinski salutes, and walks out. Just before he leaves the bridge, though. "Oh yeah, Lieutenant?" "Yes Captain?" "Good Luck, and Happy Hunting." "You know it, Captain." With that, Matt leaves the bridge to return to the Lightning, to ensure it's ready for the upcoming battles ahead.
