Tanker-Turned-Pilot
Ryke Patterson was involved in the military throughout his entire life. The
greatest of his accomplishments included commander and gunner positions in
tanks such as the Puma and the Behemoth. Ryke had given up his life in the
armor division. Finally taking interest in the so called "kings of the battlefield",
he joined the Strikers in 3062 to try his luck as a Mechwarrior. His knowledge
of BattleMech-class weaponry gave him somewhat of an advantage in his new
job. Ryke’s only regret was his difficulty in landing Mechs after jump-jetting.
Ryke was killed when Blakist forces orbitally bombarded the com-relay station
he and his lance had reached. The group of Strikers had been attempting to
protect their teammates by informing their immediate superior of a coming
onslaught of Word of Blake Mechs. Ryke was honored for his talents with both
Mech piloting and gunnery. One of the Arbiter Warship’s training simulator
rooms has been named after him.
