Five, Nicholas proclaimed, was the foundation

Upon which our true society was to be built.

Laborers to till the land, to do the tasks:

They shall have our undying gratitude,

For they are the muscle behind us all.

Merchants to buy and sell with fairness:

They shall have our commerce and respect,

For they are the bones upon which we are built.

Technicians to build and fix the machines:

They shall have our admiration,

For they are the fingers with which we grasp life.

Scientists to create and discover:

They shall have our awe and our attention,

For they are the mind of our society.

And above all, the Warriors who protect.

They shall have our cooperation and worship,

For they are the blood and soul of us all.

-- The Remembrance, Passage 67, Verse 26, Lines 21-37

Star Commander,

Star Colonel Adler Malthus wishing to add strength to the Jade falcon touman,  has issued a formal batchall for a trinary of our Timber Wolf OmniMechs. The final bid is a Binary of fresh blooded warriors from the Jade Falcon Eyrie Cluster. Your binary was our final bid of defending Clan Wolf for these treasured OmniMechs.

The battle will take place on Strana Mechty in the parade grounds outside of the gene center. Do not allow this sacred facility to sustain any damage. I need not remind you that it contains the genetic material of every Clan's Bloodnamed warrior. If you successfully defend the honor of Clan Wolf we will add their ‘Mechs to our touman, I may even allow battle salvage to your unit. The Falcons have allowed you to choose the final stipulation. Either equal tonnage or class for class. This will be your choice Star Commander.

Galaxy Commander out.
