History

The Junebug was an unknown-class DropShip owned and operated under captain Marcus Freeman that arrived Fletcher with direct new from their escape from Acamar telling that Capellan Confederation forces had used a nuclear weapon in their conquest of the planet. Sensor reading from the DropShip showed that when militia forces downed a Phoenix Hawk, the defenders reported a small truck racing from the Capellan lines toward the gate as the rest of the defeated assault force fell back from Valis City. In the next instant, the communications console exploded in a flood of static and his fellow crew members reported seeing the fireball on the ship‘s screens. The explosion was much more than just a BattleMech's fusion reactor failing, those readings that could be recovered from the damaged sensors of the Junebug indicate that the detonation was of a higher magnitude that would be expected from the destruction of a medium BattleMech such as a Phoenix Hawk. Since the forces of House Liao have taken Acamar and blocked direct traffic to and from the planet, further information has been unavailable.
