History

Bianca Thibideau was a fighter in Solaris VII during the Succession Wars.

On August 23, 3041, Bianca Thibideau stepped off the DropShip into Solaris City from the Outback and into the spotlight.

Arriving with nothing but her will, her determination, and a half-functional Griffin BattleMech, Bianca immediately entered the Class Three circuit and began making a name for herself.

Sometime prior to December 3041, she made some disparaging comments about Michael Hargrove matches, who incensed because of this challenged her to a fight. Hargrove hoped to erase the stain of her claims from his already tarnished reputation.

The fight, which promoters moved to The Coliseum, was one of the shortest in Solaris Games history. Hargrove led the attack, firing his long-range missiles and then charging forward to clear the range for his medium lasers. Bianca held her Griffin still, took the missile damage, and fired a single shot from her PPC. That shot took the Quickdraw dead-center in the chest, penetrated a weakness in the 'Mech's armor, and destroyed the balancing gyro. Hargrove managed to almost destroy his own 'Mech thrashing around on the floor of the Coliseum.

Despite that success, Bianca never really rose to triumph in the arenas. She did, however, win herself a place in the annals of Solaris with that one shot.[1]

Tactics

BattleMechs
