## Overview Reports indicated a unit (reported under a local leader Nakazawa) was establishing checkpoints and collecting tolls at river crossings on routes between Kamploops and Moro. A recon element from Kiah’s Hammers was tasked to investigate and identify the force and its intent. ## Opposing forces (OpFor) - WFT-1 Tora - HM-1 Hitman - Tokugawa Heavy Tank ×4 - Badger Tracked Transport ×2 - Standard Inner Sphere Battle Armor ×4 - Motorized Field Gun LB-10X - Infantry Platoon (Motorized) ×4 ## Defenders (Friendly) Kiah’s Hammers Force - MechWarrior Sergeant Tyson — DRG-1C Dragon — 4/5 - 1st Lieutenant Asher — RXT-10 Prime Raptor — 2/4 — ‘Mech Company XO - Sergeant — Elemental Point (Laser Bravo) — 3 - Striker Light Tank ’61 — Sergeant Evvon — 3/4 — DCMS C3 Slave - Bandit Hover Transport Foxtrot — 3/4 — Sergeant - Gray Death Standard Battle Armor (B) — 2 — Sergeant - Gray Death Standard Battle Armor (C) — 2 — Sergeant ## Salvage - None recovered ## After Action Report (AAR) Kiah’s Hammers dispatched a recon element to investigate the reported checkpoints. The team found units dug in along hills and road edges; when challenged, those units claimed to be Department of Transportation personnel and demanded a toll of 1,000 C-Bills per vehicle to cross. Electronic interference complicated identification; the recon unit employed target locks and visual ID to identify several units. These matched a unit previously encountered (including at Rest Stop 829) and the force that was involved in the chase of Metal Thunder Armored Company. A brief exchange of fire occurred; only the Hammers' Dragon took light damage. The intent appears to be extortion rather than formal control of the crossings, but the reappearance of the same unit suggests persistent, organized behavior and potential links to earlier operations. ## Related persons & units - MechWarrior Sergeant Tyson — DRG-1C Dragon - 1st Lieutenant Asher — RXT-10 Prime Raptor - Sergeant Evvon — Striker Light Tank ’61 ## Notes & provenance - No exact WorldAnvil mission-export JSON was confidently identified; frontmatter `source` set to `source/articles/NOT_FOUND`. - This force was previously encountered near Rest Stop 829 and during actions involving Metal Thunder Armored Company — cross-reference with mission notes for Rest Stop 829 and chase incidents if needed.
