Line 27: In one notable instance Valasek bloodied forces from the [[Draconis Combine Mustered Soldiery]] sent to punish him for a spate of water raids he'd conducted against Combine worlds. Valasek was keen to avoid losing any of his precious [['Mechs]], and when the Combine forces arrived in the Santander system he lured them into landing at a predetermined ambush point. Waiting for the Combine forces were several [[companies]] of [[Scorpion]] light tanks Valasek had "borrowed". The Scorpions had been hidden in warehouses at an obvious supply point, and engaged the Kuritan 'Mechs at close range. The battle swiftly degenerated into a brawl as the Kuritan 'Mechs, outnumbered three-to-one, engaged the tanks in melee attacks. The battle became known as the "Scorpions Nest" and became a staple training exercise in the Combine, teaching trainee [[MechWarrior (pilot)|MechWarriors]] in how to deal with swarms of small vehicles. Valasek was content to have recovered some 'Mech salvage and the Kuritans were satisfied that Valasek wouldn't raid any more Combine worlds in the near future.<ref name="TRO:3026Rp26">''Technical Readout: 3026 Revised Edition'', p. 26: "Scorpion Light Tank"</ref> In one notable instance Valasek bloodied forces from the [[Draconis Combine Mustered Soldiery]] sent to punish him for a spate of water raids he'd conducted against Combine worlds.
