The unit Snord had won consisted of a dilapidated ''[[Union]]''-class [[DropShip]], five [[BattleMech]]s (only two of which were functional and had weapons amounting to anything), and five [[aerospace fighter]]s (only one of them operational)— and a considerable amount of debts. Broke and unable to pay for repairs, Snord hired skilled workers from the ranks of the [[Dispossessed]] and obtained some spare parts through dubious means. Some 'Mechs and fighters were broken down for spare parts, and any surplus items were sold off.
