## Overview ComStar lost contact with Epsilon Pegasus. A task force was dispatched to investigate; the force found widespread destruction and rescued survivors from ComStar and the 151st Light Horse Regiment. ## Opposing forces (OpFor) - None reported during the recovery operation (Word of Blake Task Group responsible for earlier orbital bombardment, per survivor accounts). ## Friendly / Defending forces The original mission file contained multiple force rosters (Kiah's Hammers, Ironborn, The Dragon's Clutch, The Phoenix Dao, 6th Ghost, ComStar elements, Nejiro Militia). I preserved names and key units below (summarized): ### Kiah's Hammers - Maxim Heavy Hover Transport (Infantry) - Fenrir Battle Armor - Rottweiler Battle Armor - Kestrel VTOL MedEvac - Para-Jumpers ### Ironborn - HMR-3M Hammer (Alpha & Bravo) - Partisan Air Defense Tank (Lance Command) - Goblin Infantry Tank - Rifle Foot Infantry Platoon ### The Dragon's Clutch - M.A.S.H.

I've converted these into grouped lists (Group One..Twelve) and preserved the named items under each group so they are machine- and human-friendly. If you prefer these collapsed into a single inventory table or split into "Mech/Vehicle/Aerospace/Support" categories, I can reformat. ### Group One (ComGuard) - KGC-001 King Crab - LNC 25-01 Lancelot - RJN101-A Raijin - WVE-5N Wyvern - NXS1-A Nexus - MCY-99 Mercury ### Group Two (CG) - AWE-9Q Awesome - ARC-4M Archer - CTS-6Y Cestus - HSN-7D Hellspawn ### Group Three (Phoenix) - LGB-12C Longbow - WHM-7M Warhammer - TDR-9SE Thunderbolt - HCT-6D Hatchetman ### Group Four (6G) - Engineering Vehicle - BattleMech Recovery Vehicle - 135-K Coolant Truck - Flatbed Truck ### Group Five (Hammers) - TR1 Wraith - SHD-5D Shadow Hawk - GRF-3M Griffin - DV-8D Dervish ### Group Six (Ironborn) - PXH-3D Phoenix Hawk - OTT-9S Ostscout - JVN-11A Fire Javelin - ZPH-2A Tarantula ### Group Seven (CG) - TDK-7X Thunder Hawk - MTK-5K Maelstorm - WHM-9S Warhammer - GRF-6S Griffin ### Group Eight (Ironborn) - HGN-732 Highlander - BL-6b-KNT Black Knight - GRM-R-PR29 Grim Reaper - STY-3C Starslayer ### Group Nine (DC) - HRC-LS-9000 Hercules - TMP-3M Tempest - MAD-1B Rakshasa - CRB-27 Crab - MON-66 Mongoose ### Group Ten (DC / assorted) - BLR-4S Battlemaster - ZEU-9T Zeus - VTR-10D Victor - BNC-5S Banshee - Various transport and assault tanks (Manticore, Brutus, Puma, Rhino, Ripper transports) ### Group Eleven (Hammers) - Selected Hammers units overlapping previous groups (see above) ### Group Twelve (Nejiro Militia / NM) - Ontos Heavy Tank (light Gauss) - Challenger MTB X - SturmFeur Heavy Tank - Alacorn Heavy Tank MK VI If you want the exact original multiline matrix preserved verbatim, I can keep it as a fenced code block at the end of the file instead of converting it. ## After Action Report (AAR) When our task force arrived at Epsilon Pegasus we found wreckage and survivors. Survivors rescued were dependents and support personnel from the ComStar base and the 151st Light Horse Regiment (ELH). Survivor accounts say a Word of Blake Task Group entered the system, destroyed local defenses, bombarded Columbus from orbit, then withdrew via jump points. Our Task Force withdrew quickly to avoid a potential Word of Blake return. ## Related persons & units - Kiah's Hammers (organization) - ComStar (organization) - Word of Blake (attacker, per survivor accounts)
