Helimar Senton was a member of the Lyran Commonwealth Armed Forces during the Late Succession Wars.[1][2][3]
History[edit]
Leutnant Helimar Senton was a member of the 26th Lyran Guards. Prior to his unit being stationed on the planet Sevren sometime after 3025, Senton was assigned to pilot a new Hatchetman BattleMech. He would nickname the Mech "Alien" and paint it in dark green colors.
When the 4th Proserpina Hussars raided Sevren, he and his fellow MechWarriors assigned to the new Hatchetman machines would lure the Combine troops into a dense urban area. There Helimar and his compatriots would give the Hatchetman machine its first exposure to combat. It was during the fighting that Senton would be the first MechWarrior to earn a confirmed kill piloting a Hatchetman. His cleaving a 'Mech piloted by a Combine officer was caught on tape by a local news crew and he became a local celebrity.
Over the years that followed, Senton and his Hatchetman would earn battle honors in numerous campaigns including Kandis and Engadin during the Fourth Succession War and Alnasi during the War of 3039.[1]
BattleMechs[edit]
Senton would achieve fame in piloting his Hatchetman. It is unknown what BattleMech he piloted prior to his assignment to the machine.[1]
Notes[edit]
Helimar Senton likely is an in-universe salute to Harry Dean Stanton. Stanton played Brett in the movie Alien (1979) and was the first to fall to the fully grown Xenomorph in the film. The Hatchetman's head is shaped similarly to the Xenomorph's iconic head as well.[1]
