The core of the Wrecking Crew, the twenty-four battlemechs of Morgan's Mayhem feature the most advanced technology available to the Inner Sphere and are piloted by some of the fiercest warriors to ever tread the battlefield. Over the last decade they have established a fearsome reputation for their battle frenzy; time after time they have broken units larger than themselves with headlong attacks and deadly accurate weapons fire.
These gunslingers have tested themselves against each of the Clans and nearly every Inner Sphere power, either on the battlefield or on the range- and they have won far more battles than they have lost. Since Tukayyid the Mayhem have only failed to achieve two objectives, and one of those losses was due to treachery from within. This outstanding parade of victories has allowed them to recruit only the best, and to dictate the terms of their contracts.
Morgan's Mayhem use the Wrecking Crew insigna with a pair of crossed revolvers at the bottom of the shield; it can be found on the shoulders and wings of their 'mechs and fighters. Each lance of the Mayhem uses their own unique paint scheme- something the unit commanders take a great deal of pride in.
Dragoon's Rating:A-
OFFICERS
Captain Rebecca Morgan is the de facto head of the Wrecking Crew as well as the field commander of the Mayhem, which she leads personally in battle. Not yet thirty, she is a twelve year combat veteran, and first learned to pilot a battlemech before she was even a teenager. Though technically a Major due to the number of troops under her command, she retains the rank of Captain, and calling her unit only a reinforced company. Known as Bad Becca to her fans and detractors, she prefers Becky with friends, and she is slowly building her a legend around herself that may one day rival that of the Black Widow.
Lieutenan Elizabeth Jean "BJ" Foster has been Morgan's field second since their days in the Tenth Lyran Guards. A fine mechwarrior, BJ has showed even more skill at coordinating a battle. With a the help of a command console mounted on her Lance Sergeant's Goliath she keeps track of the battle and dictates the Captain's commands, leaving Becky free to fight.
Lieutenant Akmhed Muhammed serves as the leader of the Command Lance, as the Captain is prone to dueling. A former member of the Altenmarkt Battlemech Brigade and the DCMS Sword of Light before that, he joined the Wrecking Crew as they fled from Altenmarkt, and fought on Tukayyid.
Through an odd set of circumstances Second Lance commander Lieutenant Anton "Tony" Corleone made it from a periphery world and piracy to the Wrecking Crew. Allison Morgan rebuilt his shattered 'mech, and he in turned pledged allegiance to the Crew- through thick or thin. He has fought with the Marauders since the battle of Laurent.
Lieutenant Preston Roberts commands the Fire Lance. A former member of the DCMS, his 17th Benjamin Regulars were destroyed in the Clan Invasion. Though he was not dispossessed, the DCMS removed him from a front line unit. Feeling the need for battle he hired on first as a short term consultant and later a full time warrior in 3052.
The Recon Lance is commanded by a trueborn warrior of Wolf's Dragoons- Lieutenant Lisette Wolf. A genetic heir of the First Lady of Death, this red-headed warrioress resembles her suriving twelve sibkin to such a degree one would think they are twins. She pilots one of the few light 'mechs in the unit, and is thought to be the best all around pilot.
TACTICS
A Lyran academy graduate, Captain Morgan's first dozen campaigns were against this Clans, and this has set the tone for her command. Morgan prefers head on attacks and direct assults with little in the way of subterfuge. Fielding a heavy complement gives the Mayhem an ability to direct devestating attacks en masse with a great deal of success. It is this style of fighting that has earned her the name Bad Becca, some would say the Mayhem are bloodthirsty; in reality they are just ruthless. The Wrecking Crew shows no quarter in battle, and in turn expects none. A nonmerc opponent has two options- unconditional surrender or a longshot victory- if they try to fight on they face almost certain destruction.
Fearlessness is quality all of the Crew's warriors possess, and the mortality rate is quite high. The Mayhem specialize in high risk combat; airborne drops, night operations, melee- these are the Crew's forte. By using Comstar style six-'mech lances they can overpower most units they face in the small unit warfare that they take part in. Against non-Clan foes the Mayhem are also known for their concentrated fire, sustained barrages and a slow forward march are a Captain Morgan hallmark.
As the Captain is fond of saying, "Though my troops may lay at rest, and my ships may wait at the jump-point, my foes know full well- big guns never tire."
Morgan's Mayhem
Two Companies Elite/Reliable
The Mayhem complement is organized into a reinforced company of four six 'mech lances. This gives Morgan a hidden advantage when bidding against the Clans- she claims only one company will fight. While only a handful of the 'mechs have been produced in the last fifteen years, all have been heavily upgraded by Allison Morgan to a massive 80 percent level; in addition every single 'mech also uses an XL engine, freeing up space for more armaments and armor.
The Mad Bombers
Squadron Veteran/Reliable
Morgan's support fighters live up to their name, providing tactical strikes when needed most. In addition they provide in- and outbound cover, and act as a jumpship escort. Like the battlemechs of the Crew, they are highly (70 percent) upgraded and use XL engines.
