Emilio Rachan (b. 29?? - d. 3028) was the name of a rogue ComStar Precentor whose plot to find a missing Star League memory core resulted in the temporary declaration of the Gray Death Legion mercenary unit as outlaws.

History

Sirius V Incident

Rachan, obsessed with finding the reported ComStar cache of Lostech on the planet Helm, arranged with the Grey Death member-traitor Graff to allow the transport of an unknown -- and possibly nuclear -- explosive device inside the domed city of Tiantan, the capital city of Sirius V.

Using BattleMechs painted to look like Gray Death 'Mechs, Rachan, in concert with Lord Garth of Irian, staged footage to make it appear that the Legion had, under a flag of truce, destroyed the domed city, exposing the few survivors to Sirius V's toxic, frigid atmosphere.

Battles on Helm

Lord Garth's efforts continued the plot, which involved having the Gray Death jump to the planet Marik under the pretense of meeting with Captain-General Janos Marik. Upon arrival, the Legion would instead have immediately been arrested and charged with the destruction of Tiantan. However, Gray Death commander Grayson Death Carlyle, sensing something was amiss -- and with the majority of the Legion's family, children and troops not assigned to the two-week Sirius V campaign against forces belonging to House Liao were at the Legion's landhold on Helm -- chose instead to jump his forces, aboard JumpShip Invidious, to Helm.

Upon arrival, the Legion, led by Lord Garth's forces, found itself under attack and pursued across several hundred miles of the planet.

Memory core found

In the ensuing land campaign, Rachan's quest to claim the missing Star League cache failed, the Gray Death Legion instead obtaining a copy of the memory core at the underground base on 1 April 3028. Rachan was killed in the fighting on Helm.

Shortly after the events on Helm, ComStar disavowed all Rachan's actions.
