History
Late Succession Wars Era
In 3034 while garrisoning the planet Loxley Griff Storm discovered a Star League era mech factory. In 3046 Griff Storm with his business partner Sammuel Norse and substantial loans from the Lyran government brought the factory online, creating Norse-Storm BattleMechs Inc. Storm's Metal Thunder remained loyal to House Steiner following the dissolution of the Federated Commonwealth and persuaded his partners in Norse-Storm to provide the Lyran Alliance exclusively with the Devastator assault 'Mech.
FedCom Civil War and Destruction
Going into the FedCom Civil War, the unit was firmly loyal to Katherine Steiner-Davion. Based on Kikuyu, they were soon sent into action along with the Sixth Donegal Guards against the Eighth Deneb Light Cavalry in January of 3063. The Loyalists were ultimately successful in driving a heavily damaged Cavalry from the planet. Later, the unit was moved to Blue Hole where they faced the Clan Jade Falcon incursion. They were considered effectively destroyed on that planet and their command was wiped out. His leader, Colonel Storm was killed. Only two MechWarriors, the brothers Lieutenant Timothy Rivenberg and Sergeant Andrew Rivenberg, both assigned to command company, managed to board the group's three DropShips with their 'Mechs, a battered Stalker and a Salamander and evacuate, with the techs and regiment families. The unit remnants link up with Marshall Sharon Bryan on Melissia. These two warriors survived the fighting on that planet to join with Adam Steiner's task force during Operation AUDACITY.[2] [3]
