Storm's Metal Thunder

Storm's Metal Thunder is a mercenary regiment created in 3024 by former LCAF Captain Griff Storm. 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 goverment brought the factory on-line creating Norse-Storm BattleMechs Inc.Storm's Metal Thunder remained loyal to House Steiner following the disolution of the Federated Commonwealth and persuaded his partners in Norse-Storm to provide the Lyran Alliance exclusively with the Devastator assault 'Mech.

• • Note** 2 Pilots and Battlemechs and the families of the unit (heavily damaged) are referenced as being the remains of a portion or all of Storms Metal Thunder. It is unknown if this was the entire unit or if it was part of a garrison force.According to the book reference they, along with the 8th Deneb Light Cavalry, were fighting the Jade Falcons on Blue Hole when ordered to Melissa by Marshall Sharon Bryson (a move that Adam Steiner did not support). The 2 Mechwarriors that arrived informed Marshall Bryan that Storms Metal Thunder had been wiped out by the Jade Falcons and that Colonel Storm and his command lance had been killed covering the escape of the Dropship and its contents. No further information was made available but this would have been after the timeline mentioned in this article (3062 to 3067).
