"O'er the hills, and through the sky,
Through Terra, Atreus and Skye
The Sphere requires, and we obey,
Over the hills and far away."

What can I say that would make sense? I've been 'around', so to speak, always reading, never registering...been to Halo, Warhammer 40k, BattleTech, StarCraft, D&D, Star Wars, Star Trek, Babylon 5 and Emperor knows where else...I shan't say I've been everywhere, and I don't doubt there's those around who've gone to more fandoms than I have.

Nevertheless...

2009 UPDATE:
Redfire and The Atreidean Warhawks - and by extension the rest of the Force Commander series, though it never got off the ground beyond a few storyboards and plot ideas - have been placed on 'permanent hiatus'. The reasons are myriad and need not detain us presently. Suffice it to say I got to thinking long enough about it. I may be returning to the Warhawks, depending on circumstances, but for all intents and purposes, the Sentinel Union is gone.
Instead, look for a different story by the end of January.

Side-Stories:

Spirits - The BattleMech is the ultimate war machine. And yet, how truly different is it from a human? Senior Crew Chief Cortés ponders the BattleMech and the spirits that they bear...

No Sympathy for the Devil - The Battle for Terra is over. The Rim Worlds Republic has been beaten, and Stefan Amaris is held prisoner. Why did Chak Lefth gain the name 'Executioner', you ask? Some things simply have to be done traditionally.

Older Stories: (On permanent hiatus)

Redfire - First in the series. January-September 3068. The Battle for Robinson rages. Operation Return is underway. And yet there is one lance that will do far more than either can. As the saying goes - a knife in the dark is worth a thousand swords at dawn. Devastator Lance is this one knife.
Featuring: Merik Van Voytz, Eliza Furey, Kalgai Jusik, Talos Ward, Christiana Fletcher, Juan Cortés and Martin Sheridan

The Atreidean Warhawks - It is 3050. The Clans have invaded the Inner Sphere. What can a mere regiment do to stem the unrelenting tide? Who can stand against their undefeatable forces? Why, suddenly, is a score of two-nil and a goal at 10.8 seconds so important to the Warhawks? There is always an accounting for everything, and Chak must face the demons he left behind on ANZAC Day 2839...
Featuring: Chak Lefth, Siona Atreides, Jagdea Bree, Nahum Livair, Lieutenant Mkfeyd and Camille Bremmertan
