Bred a trueborn Mechwarrior of Clan Jade Falcon in 3030, Rally tested out as a
Mechwarrior, performing adequately in his testing. He was subsequently
transferred to the Jade Falcon’s Gamma Galaxy: Jade Falcon Galaxy. Following
his deployment to Gamma Galaxy, the Battle of Tukayyid took place. Tukayyid
was a harsh mistress to even the most battle weary veteran; Rally was blooded
by the best the Inner Sphere had to offer. Assigned to a light Mech star
performing scouting and flanking missions, his star avoided much of the
heavier fighting. Nonetheless, his star was forced to wade into battle against
forces that out-numbered and out-tonned them. When the call to retreat came,
his star was down to just two Mechs, and badly damaged at that. Following that
ill-fated fight, many bloodnamed warriors had fallen on the field of honor.
Due to his actions on Tukayyid, Rally was sponsored for the bloodname of
Pryde. After the fierce combat for the bloodname, Rally came out on top,
proving he had matured as a warrior. Bumped up to Star Captain, he was given
control of a Binary in Gamma Galaxy. His first assignment was a simple raid
behind the Federated Commonwealth lines, on the planet of Warrenvale.
Shortly after his drop on the planet, he realized he was in trouble. The Star
Colonel, Dev Iler, had bid too low. Fighting desperately for his life, and the life
of his short lived command, he was forced to fight a retreating battle back to
the Dropships. After his ‘tactical retreat’, and a stiff dressing down by Star
Colonel Dev Iler, his Binary saw little action for some time to come. When he
did see combat, he was finally able to prove himself a competent commander on
several occasions.
Content to battle and leave the politics of Clan Jade Falcon to others, he was
rewarded with missions of greater and greater honor. Then in June of 3057 on
Antares his Binary, turned Trinary, was forming the defense of some ‘out of the
way hovel’. Shortly after contact with the enemy, he received a transmission
calling for a Trial of Possession for the city by the Steel Viper commander, Star
Captain Sasha Breen of Alpha Galaxy. Depending on his superior hand-to-hand
fighting prowess, he choose the fight to be un-augmented. Dropping out of his
Mech and into the Circle of Equals, he took stock of Sasha Breen, deciding the
combat to be quick. As soon as the fight was joined, he lunged for his
opponent, but slipped on a moss bed, knocking himself off balance. Taking
advantage of his mistake, Sasha knee-capped him with a kick. Despite this
debilitating injury, he managed to fend off her attacks for some time before
finally being forced out of the circle, losing his fight, and control of the city.
Soon he found he lost more than that, as Star Captain Sasha Breen used her
prerogative as the winner to take him as bondsman. Losing his bloodname and
the rights as a Jade Falcon Warrior, he was taken into Clan Steel Viper. Since
then he has been personal trainer in hand-to-hand combat to Sasha, following
her through the gauntlet of Clan politics, and further into the Strider’s Strikers.
Rally went on to not only reclaim his status as a Mechwarrior in service of Steel
Viper, but also earn himself a respectable position within Strider’s Strikers.
With the poisoning of Claudia, his Star Commander, Rally and the other Steel
Viper warriors rallied against those guilty in the Word of Blake. With his
well-executed attacks against several of the Blakist assault Mechs, Rally
achieved great glory in battle. Many would argue he played the role of Sasha
Breen’s right hand in the coordinated assault. It seems only obvious that Rally
will rise to greater heights even yet. He may eventually even truly triumph over
his reputation as a bondsman, a spot on his record that continues to dog him
regardless of how much he has accomplished.
