Tyrone Dyhr was a fighter in Solaris VII's BBL for the Regulus Wrath Stables during the Dark Age.

History[edit]

Dyhr one of the participants in the 3086 Championship. In the third week, he was paired against Soren Murphy. 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]

He was paired against Kane Krizova for week five. Dyhr tried to stay outside the Werewolf's weapons range, but when his laser malfunctioned he was forced into a knife-fight with Krizova. After several exchanges, Dyhr was down to a single medium laser and machine gun, with damaged actuators in both legs. Crippled, Dyhr shut down his 'Mech in surrender.[2]

He continued with good fights and was ranked second in Class Two division prior to week eight matches.[3]

In the eighth week he was paired against Sandra Nakamura. Nakamura started out strong in the first few exchanges, but Dyhr used his Phoenix Hawk's speed, mobility, and his Large Laser's range advantage to stay away from Nakamura's Ronin and slowly pick it apart. Finally, after sixteen minutes, Dhyr's fire burned through Nakamura's left leg and fused both the knee and foot actuators. Unable to move quickly, Nakamura surrendered.[3]

Prior to week ten, Class Three division Standings had Anna Hung as the only unbeaten MechWarrior in any of the divisions with Tyrone Dyhr four points behind Hung and trying to keep the gap from getting wider. As a note, Dyhr would be leading any other division with the points he had.[4]

For week ten he was paired against Hiroyuki Hojo and his Bushwacker. Dyhr used the speed and jumping advantage of his Phoenix Hawk to literally run circles around Hojo, staying away from Hojo's autocannon. Hojo did score several missiles hits, but Dyhr targeted Hojo's legs, burning away most of the armor located there. Hojo retreated toward the Deep's center, but Dyhr kept the pressure on, forcing Hojo to keep backpedaling. At sixteen minutes, Dyhr's lasers blew Hojo's left leg apart. Hojo was knocked unconscious in the fall, giving Dyhr the win, and Hojo a headache.[4]

After week twelve, in Class Three Division standings, Anne Hung has continued her near perfect season, going 11-0-1 with 34 points and opening up a seven-point lead over Tyrone Dyhr. Chris Rogers, Hiroyuki Hojo, and Eveline Wilson each had 21 points, which did put them a distant third, six points behind Dyhr.[5]

For week thirteen, he was paired against Asad Ibn Yasin, who had a very bad championship having lost ten of his twelve matches. The fight lasted eight minutes, as Dyhr used his Phoenix Hawk's speed, jumping, and longer-range weapons to tear Asad's Hunchback apart. The match was halted when Dyhr's lasers found a weakness in the Hunchback's head armor, causing a cockpit fire and sending Asad to the hospital with first and second degree burns on his limbs.[6]

Tempers flared yet again between the Black Eagles Stables and Regulus Wrath Stables during week fourteen. The Wraths were in fifth place, five points better than the seventh-place Eagles, and all eyes went to the Class Three match-up between second-place Wrath's Tyrone Dyhr and the third-place Eagles' Chris Rogers. Dyhr needed this match to have any chance of staying near Hung, while Rogers, six points behind Dyhr, needed a win to close the gap on Dyhr. The match was Dyhr's speed against Rogers' power. Under the watchful eye of League officials, the two squared off. Using the Phoenix Hawk's speed and jumping ability Dyhr went for a long-range sniping strategy against Rogers' Hunchback. For several minutes, the tactic worked, until Rogers began moving erratically and acted as if he had a systems fault. Dyhr moved in quickly, trying to take advantage, only to find himself staring down the muzzle of Rogers' autocannon. Rogers' first shot removed Dyhr's right arm, robbing the Phoenix Hawk of its main weapon. As Dyhr tried to escape, Rogers second shot stripped his right leg of all armor and most of its internal structure. After that, the match became a chase, with Dyhr as the rabbit. Despite being more mobile, Dyhr was hit twice more by Rogers, the second shot removing what was left of the right leg and most of the lower torso. It was at this point the match was called.[7]

A furious Dyhr confronted Rogers in the Deep's Mech bay after the match and a shouting match turned into a brawl between Wraith and Eagle personnel that had to be broken up by both officials and members from other stables. BBL officials promised severe punishments for both teams.[7]

Because of the brawl, he had to forfeit his match on week fifteen against Humbert Barton. He was also fined fifteen hundred Kroner and was warned that any more trouble that year would result in doubled fines and forfeited matches.[8]
