Captain Gustav Colt was a mercenary who led an artillery unit.[1]

History[edit]

Gustav Colt was a veteran artilleryman from the 12th Star Guards that survived the unit's destruction during the first stages of the Clan invasion.[1]

At an unknown time, he joined Thor's Hammers and the unit's commanding officer, Major Napoleon Hobart, organized a battery of newly-manufactured Helepolis 'Mech into the unit's artillery command, which was named "Hobart's Funnies" and placed under the command of Gustav Colt.

When Clan Jade Falcon Iota Galaxy invaded Zanderij, they found Greenburg's Godzillas, the Tooth of Ymir and Thor's Hammers defending the planet.

Colt and the motley collection of 'Mechs armed with artillery weapons proved hugely effective against the Clan Jade Falcon force, pinning Iota Galaxy down with a constant artillery barrage and preventing the Falcon forces from breaking out of their initial landing zone. The Jade Falcons attempted to remove Colt's forces by launching a head-hunting attack using Elementals, only to discover that the Hammers had predicted the attack and screened the Funnies extensively with conventional forces; the Elementals were wiped out by the Hammers, leaving the surviving elements of Iota Galaxy little option but to withdraw.[1]

BattleMech[edit]

Colt was known to have piloted a Helepolis BattleMech.[1]
