Overview[edit]
Jock Armstrong was a MechWarrior serving with the Second Kearny Highlanders in the early thirty-first century. He was one of the pilots under Ian Fraser’s command during the Capellan raiding mission to Mira in April 3028.
As the outnumbered and outgunned Highlander force attempted to disengage from pursuing Davion BattleMechs, Armstrong’s light 'Mech was brought down by laser fire from an Archer that damaged a leg actuator.[1] While Ian Fraser’s 'Mech came under fire from a Davion Crusader, Armstrong triggered the jump jets on his prone machine, sending it crashing headlong into the back of the Crusader’s legs. The heavy 'Mech collapsed on top of Armstrong’s 'Mech, crushing it and its pilot.[2]
