History[edit]
Soren Murphy was a fighter in Solaris VII's BBL for the Kroner Kings Stables during the Dark Age.
He was of the participants of the 3086 Championship.[1]
After one victory and one lost match in the previous weeks, for week three he was paired against Regulus Wrath Stables MechWarrior Tyrone Dyhr. Both needed a win to get into Class Three Division contention. While Murphy's Clint's ER PPC had more punch than the Phoenix Hawk's large laser, Dyhr used his 'Mech's advantage in armor to pull Murphy into a running battle that ranged all over the Deep. After fifteen minutes, Dyhr's large laser burned through the armor and melted the Clint's left hip joint. Unable to continue, Murphy conceded the match and the points to Dyhr.[1]
During week fourth he was paired against Chris Rogers from the Black Eagles Stables for a Class Three Division match. Murphy, who had been manhandled the week before, threw himself into the match. He teased Rogers by darting in, trying to get Rogers to use his Hunchback's Tomodzuru autocannon. Unable to match the Clint's speed, Rogers was forced to stay near the Deep's rock spires to shield his back from Murphy's ER PPC. Murphy continued his baiting, narrowly missing being hit three times by the Tomodzuru. Rogers was struck with several shots from Murphy, tearing away armor, but not penetrating the heavier 'Mech's armor, but it was just a matter of time. In the nineteenth minute of the match a blast from Murphy's PPC penetrated the Hunchback's center torso and shredded the gyro, costing Rogers the match.[2]
With that victory and another on week five, Murphy climbed on the Class Three Division Table.[3]
In week six, he was matched against Anna Hung, this was the first spotlight match of the week. The match started with a few long-range exchanges, each feeling out the other. After that, Hung began getting the better of the combat, using the combination of her Vindicator's PPC and LRMs to counter Murphy’s sole long-range weapon, his ER PPC. But then, Murphy got in a lucky shot that mangled Hung's LRM launcher and swung things back to a more even keel. From there, it was fast-moving and quick-shooting until time expired, resulting in a hard-fought draw. He was the first gladiator who was able to get some points from Anna Hung.[3]
Prior to the matches of week ten, Anna Hung is the only unbeaten MechWarrior in any of the divisions with the hard-fought draw with Soren Murphy her only non-win that year.[4]
In week fourteen he was to fight again against Anne Hung. The action was fast and furious from the start, but Hung scored the first telling hit, damaging one of the Clint's jump jets in the tenth minute. Three minutes later, she damaged another of Murphy's jump jets. Robbed of his jump advantage, Murphy tried using his ground speed, but Hung patiently wore him down, concentrating on the Clint's legs. The end came when Hung destroyed both her opponent's legs, ending the match and avenging her only no-win of the season.[5]
