Sarna News
Kyle Powers (b. 3??? - d. 10 May 3133) was a Knight-Errant MechWarrior for The Republic of the Sphere. He is described as tall, slender and with a silver flattop.[1]
Notable Actions
Knight-Errant Kyle Powers was sent to Achernar to help repulse the invasion ofthe Steel Wolves. He was originally stationed on Ronel but was relieved by Knight-Errant Janella Lakewood in order to free him for reassignment on Achernar. Powers' arrival on Achernar helped cement an alliance between the Republic and the Swordsworn against the invading Steel Wolves.[2]
The alliance would quickly fail. With Kyle Powers now in control of the Republic defenses on Archernar, the Swordsworn used the alliance to drag Powers into a more destructive conflict with the Steel Wolves. The plan was to weaken both forces enough so that a Swordsworn take-over of the planet would be assured. Led by Erik Sandoval-Groell, the Swordsworn ambushed a Steel Wolves salvage team on 1 March 3133.[3] Star Colonel Torrent, leader of the Steel Wolves, considered this a dishonorable attack and used it as an opportunity to destroy the Republic-Swordsworn alliance by eliminating the person who founded it.[4] Threatening attacks on Achernar's infrastructure and HPG station, Torrent challenged Powers to a Trial of Grievance.[5]
Death
Powers was killed by Torrent during a Trial of Grievance on Achernar.[6]
BattleMech
Kyle Powers piloted a Jupiter BattleMech he named, "Jove". This machine is described as having a paint scheme of "bands of tans, yellows and faded reds with one great red spot swirling in a storm over the Jupiter’s left chest.".[7]
