Notes
- This character was created as part of the 2019 Clan Invasion crowdfunding campaign by a backer.
- The write up for the Executioner-B variant in issue #8 of Shrapnel magazine canonizes the game MechWarrior 2: Ghost Bear's Legacy and Erick Tseng as the protagonist by describing the underwater mission on Thun and the overall mission to recover the genetic material of the Ghost Bear's founders as depicted in the game:
| “ | In 3058, during one of the rare documented Inner Sphere deployments of the Executioner-B, the Crusader Wolves of then-Khan Vlad Ward were on the receiving end of its ire. Elements of Clan Ghost Bear’s 304th Assault Cluster struck the planet Thun while looking for raiders who had captured the genetic legacies of the Bears’ founders. Their target was a system of underwater caves in Jagger Bay. To reach it, Star Commander Erick entered the waters in a modified Executioner-B C. Advancing slowly and steadily, he employed the immense firepower of his PPCs and short-range torpedoes to brush aside a few lesser Wolf ’Mechs and submarines that had been hastily deployed in defense. Though the water’s mass made the Executioner-B even more sluggish, Erick piloted it skillfully. He was able to sidestep incoming fire, and the ’Mech’s heat sinks performed better in the cool surroundings, allowing for faster PPC firing cycles than usual. Once in the caves, Erick found additional ’Mechs frantically powering up in a futile attempt at resistance. After identifying them as the wanted raider machines, he destroyed them all with prejudice. The Ghost Bears had confirmation of the culprits, but no Wolf survivors reported back to Khan Ward that day. | ” |
