MechWarrior 4: Mercenaries/Free Skye Movement Breaks Peace

Free Skye Movement Breaks Peace[edit]

The volatile Isle of Skye is feeling the pain of internal conflict as its Duke Robert Kelswa-Steiner continues his bid for independence from the Lyran Alliance. Though independence is not officially backed by Prince Victor Davion, there has been much obvious coordination between Kelswa-Steiner’s and Davion’s efforts. Many planets have been stripped of regular military units as both sides of the Skye conflict jockey for control of indecisive planets. Militia commanders on several worlds have been forced into declaring martial law to keep the peace. The result thus far has been anything but peaceful. Private industries and low-level governors have begun to loosen their purse strings for short-term mercenary contracts to protect their personal interests.
