History[edit]
Peter Blaine was a fighter in Solaris VII's BBL fighting for the Black Eagles Stables during the Dark Age.[1]
He was one of the rookies in the 3086 Championship.[1]
In week four he was paired against Cathy Anderson. The fight was very exciting. Blaine's Stalker and Anderson's Highlander fought a long-range battle. Though it seemed that Blaine had gotten the upper hand when an LRM volley stripped the armor off of Anderson's right leg, Anderson managed to keep her Highlander intact long enough for time to expire and gain a draw.[1]
Prior to week twelve fights Blaine was ranked second of the Class Five Division. Coming in, the top three were separated by two points. Meg Shaw was a point ahead of Peter Blaine and two points over Susan Belden.[2]
For his match in week twelve, he was paired against Neil Oldenwhite in a fight for the lead of Class Five, as if he won he would take the lead. Though Neil was having a poor season, he still was a cagey Deep veteran. Blaine started the match by trying to crack Oldenwhite's Atlas armor at long-range. But Oldenwhite's return fire was more accurate, forcing Blaine's Stalker to fall back. Oldenwhite continued winning the long-range fight, the missiles from the Atlas scoring armor from the Stalker. Losing the fight, Blaine changed tactics and moved in, which proved to be a mistake. At close range, the two titans traded hammer blows, with Blaine coming off the worse. Oldenwhite stripped the Stalker's armor off in chunks, leaving Blaine with gaping holes in his armor. Blaine fell back, but Oldenwhite went on the offense and the match ended when Blaine's machine lost both legs within seconds of each other, giving Oldenwhite the win, and Susan Belden the divisional lead.[2]
After week twelve, he was ranked fifth. The Class Five Division was still anyone's to take, with the top five separated by five points. Susan Belden, Meg Shaw, Peter Blaine, Thomas Colby, and Theo Forzine would go into the second half of the season with an excellent chance of being declared the Division champion.[3]
Peter was paired in his week fourteen match again against Neil Oldenwhite. This time Peter seized the chance and bested Neil Oldenwhite, using his Stalker's firepower to keep Oldenwhite's Atlas from closing on him and using the massive autocannon.[4]
Prior to the matches of week eighteen Thomas Colby was still holding first place in the Class Five Division, with Susan Belden three points behind. Third was Isadore Kelly, who had forced his way into contention, passing both Peter Blaine and Meg Shaw.[5]
For week eighteen, Susan Belden and Peter Blaine squared off in a match both needed to keep pace with Colby. Belden used her Victor's speed and jump jets to keep the match mobile. Blaine's Stalker came close to overheating as he tried to slow the elusive Victor, but the wily Belden waited for her chance and struck hard, targeting the Stalker's already damaged leg. The blitz was successful, shattering both the Stalker's hip and knee actuators, and sending Blaine into a nosedive that knocked him out for several minutes. Officials immediately ended the match, leaving Belden with the win.[5]
After the match, when the technicians examined the Longbow's ammo dump systems, they found evidence that the release plate was welded in place, making it impossible for the ammo to be dumped. This discovery has prompted BBL officials to request an investigation team from the Solaris Game Commission. Security was also stepped up for all Stables, and safety inspections will increase for all 'Mechs fighting in the BBL.[6]
