Major Paulus Noble was a member of the Waco Rangers from at least 3007 to 3032.[1][2][3]
History
Noble was an original member of the Waco Rangers, serving with Colonel Wayne Waco since its formation in 3007, resulting in him being one of Waco's most trusted subordinates and often acting as the Rangers' second in command.
From 3007 to 3025, Noble was injured five times in combat, and had lost or worn out three 'Mechs.
Mara
Noble's battlefield experience included, in 3014 as commander of Waco Rangers' 1st Battalion (Noble's Assault Battalion), participating in a raid on the Federated Suns world of Mara while under contract with the Draconis Combine. His battalion's landing was delayed, due to its DropShip being intercepted by aerospace fighters from the 3rd Ceti Hussars.[4]
Hyperion
In 3024, Noble led his battalion as part of an assault on the Draconis Combine world of Hyperion, in search of units from the Wolf's Dragoons while under Lyran Commonwealth contract. While in the capital city of Ahsiz however, the Rangers were attacked by a larger force of two Dragoons regiments, and were forced to retreat off-world.[5]
Nockatunga
In September 3032, Noble participated with his battalion in the fighting between the Waco Rangers and Snord's Irregulars on Nockatunga. Noble was part of a group of Rangers 'Mechs, including Colonel Waco, which were trapped by the Irregulars in the hills twelve kilometers from the city of Thule. The Rangers were defeated by the Irregulars in the ensuing battle, with Cranston Snord disabling Colonel Waco's 'Mech, though choosing to spare his life.[3]
BattleMech
Noble was known to have piloted a Banshee BattleMech, nicknamed "The Fixer", which was painted black and silver.[1][3]
