History[edit]
The Border Lords pirate band was decimated by elements of the Second Filtvelt Citizen's Militia in 3101 while they raided Broken Wheel.[1]
Broken Wheel was struck by the Border Lords pirate band in 3101, soon after the Border Lords had fled the Calderon Protectorate in search of easier hunting. The Border Lords dropped their forces on Broken Wheel and rampaged through Conestoga while moving towards the Quikscell Company facility nearby. Opposing the Border Lords were elements of the Second Filtvelt Citizen's Militia, who began firing on the Border Lords while the pirates were still in Conestoga. The Second had a company of HD-2F Hound 'Mechs available, augmented by a mixture of Pegasus Scout Hovertanks and Light Thunderbolt Carriers manufactured on Broken Wheel.[1]
The Second had detailed knowledge of the layout of Conestoga and used the tight and twisting streets to their advantage; the city streets limited the mobility of the Border Lords, who were primarily equipped with light and medium 'Mechs, and the Second continually used their Hounds to ambush the Border Lords or lay down fire lanes. The pirates found themselves steadily losing 'Mechs; then, when the Border Lords tried to retreat, the Second cut them off, pinning the pirates in place long enough for the Hounds to wipe out the enemy infantry and armor units. Roughly half of the pirate 'Mechs managed to escape off-world without any of the matériel they'd hoped to capture.[1]
It is not known what happened to the pirate band after that.
