History[edit]

In 3051 Craig Orme was fighting for Overlord Stables and ranked sixth in the Solaris Top Twenty. At the time he was a young firebrand, even announced his intention to be the Solaris Open Class champion within three years. Capable of being friendly and outgoing a day, and surly and hostile the other, combined with his fiery speeches have attracted both positive and negative personality. He is a womanizer with a trail of broken hearts and at least one paternity suit behind him.[1]

At the start of the 3062 season, Orme was ranked eighteenth in the Top Twenty.[2] Orme died on 13 August 3062 - day three of the 3062 Grand Tournament - during a match against Federated Suns warrior Teresa Dale, the Davion warrior firing a PPC point-blank into the head of Orme's Rakshasa. While his death was ruled an accident, the rapidly increasing tensions between House Steiner and House Davion warriors - effectively a proxy battle for the FedCom Civil War - left many unconvinced it was not intentional.[3]

Tactics[edit]

Craig Orme was a duelist with a boisterous and outrageous style, suited to his 'Mech and tactics. He made extensive use of his Jump capabilities to sort obstacles, trying to get the back of his enemies and even engaging in Death from Above attacks. As of 3051 he had not yet run into trouble, but for many, it is just a question of time.[1]

Mech[edit]

In 3051 he was piloting a Victor.[1]

During the 3062 Grand Tournament was killed while at the controls of a Rakshasa.[3]
