History
Labeled an "enigma," the pale and gaunt Rard was noted as "slow and weak" and "unimpressive" leading comtemporaries to question his fitness as a warrior, commander, and Bloodname holder. Rard Hoyt instead honed his cunning and unaugmented martial skills.[1][2]
Operation REVIVAL
Hoping to stave off challeges, Rard Hoyd bid agressively throughout the Invasion. One of the more active units, the First Falcon was involved with the following actions:
- Five Galaxy-wide assaults
- Four solo planettary assaults
- Three partnered co-assaults
- Conquest of Orkney alongside the Steel Viper 104th Assault
Star Colonel Rard Hoyt led his Cluster against the 403rd Division of ComStar at Tukayyid the Accursed, during which he was injured,[1] but survived and earned consideration for higher command.[2]
BattleMechs
Rard Hoyt piloted a Summoner OmniMech during the Battle of Tukayyid.[1]
