Sergeant Major Steven Young was a MechWarrior and noncommissioned officer, serving in the Eridani Light Horse during the thirty-first century.[1][2][3]

History[edit]

Early Career[edit]

As of 3025, Young was a member of the Command Lance, 25th Heavy Assault Company, 5th Striker Battalion of the 21st Striker Regiment, at which time he went by "Steven Young Jr.".[1]

Task Force Serpent[edit]

By 3060, when the Eridani Light Horse were on Huntress during the attack on Clan Smoke Jaguar as part of Task Force Serpent, Young had risen to become Regimental Sargent Major and a member of Brevet General Ariana Winston's Command Lance. While in his role in March 3060, Young destroyed a Jaguar Hellhound, which had launched a desperate close range attack against Ariana Winston's Cyclops.[2]

Capellan-St. Ives War[edit]

Young survived the battles in the Clan Homeworlds, and was able to return home to the Inner Sphere, with the remains of Task Force Serpent. In 3062, he was deployed with his unit from Kittery to Milos in the Capellan Confederation, as part of their role as "peacekeepers" sent to assist the St. Ives Compact in the Capellan-St. Ives War.[4] Still apart of the Brevet General's Command Company,[3] then Edwin Amis, he helped protect his General against a Capellan assassination attempt by Death Commando Chen Shao on 22 March 3062.

Young, by then a gray-haired warrior who was older than even Edwin Amis himself, killed Chen Shao with a blast from an old-fashioned pump-action sawn-off shotgun.[5]

BattleMech[edit]

Young was known to pilot a Thunderbolt BattleMech.[1]
