Kyle Powers

Kyle Powers (b. 3??? - d. 3133) was a Knight-Errant MechWarrior for The Republic of the Sphere.

Notable Actions

Knight-Errant Kyle Powers was sent to Achernar from Ronel in order to help repulse the invasion from the Steel Wolves. Knight-Errant Janella Lakewood, was sent to take his place on Ronel freeing Powers for reassignment. Powers' arrival on Achernar helped cement an alliance between the Republic and the Swordsworn against the invading Steel Wolves.

The alliance would prove to be tenuous at best. With Kyle Powers now in control of the Republic defenses on Archernar, the Swordsworn used the alliance to drag Powers into a more destructive conflict with the Steel Wolves. The plan was to weaken both forces enough so that a Swordsworn take-over of the planet would be assured. Led by Erik Sandoval-Groell, the Swordsworn ambushed a Steel Wolves salvage team on 1 March 3133. Star Colonel Torrent, leader of the Steel Wolves, considered this a dishonorable attack and used it as an opportunity to destroy the Republic-Swordsworn alliance by eliminating the person who founded it. Threatening attacks on Achernar's infrastructure and HPG station, Torrent challenged Powers to a Trial of Grievance.

Death

Powers was killed by Torrent during a Trial of Grievance by deliberate shots to the cockpit.

BattleMech

Kyle Powers piloted a Jupiter BattleMech he named, "Jove". This machine is described as having a paint scheme of "bands of tans, yellows and faded reds with one great red spot swirling in a storm over the Jupiter’s left chest.".
