48th Battle (Clan Ghost Bear)

Forty-eighth Battle Cluster
Disbanded 3048
Affiliation Clan Ghost Bear
Parent Command Rho Galaxy

History[edit]

The Forty-eighth Battle Cluster was a part of the Ghost Bear's Rho Galaxy when Rho launched a large-scale Trial of Possession for the Industriplex Alpha complex on Niles in 3048.[1]

Clan Ghost Bear had seized the Tokasha MechWorks from Clan Hell's Horses in the thirtieth century, leaving the Niles Industriplex Alpha as the main Hell's Horses BattleMech production facility; the Hell's Horses had their Alpha Galaxy defending the Industriplex, with their forces led by Khan Lair Seidman, and after a ferocious battle the Hell's Horses were victorious, although not before both sides had taken damage. One of those killed in the fighting was Khan Seidman, who was replaced by Malavai Fletcher, an Elemental injured in the battle who developed a strong hatred of the Ghost Bears and who spent his years as Khan acting as a persistent thorn in the side of the Bears.[1]

The Forty-eighth was so badly damaged in the Trial that it was disbanded, with the survivors folded into a new unit, the 300th Battle Cluster; in a twist of fate, the 300th would come to be commanded by skilled MechWarrior captured from the Hell's Horses at Niles and made a bondsman.[1]
