History[edit]
In the 24 of August 3029, the Nickel's Boys pirates raided the cities New Davies and Bainbridge on Gibbs killing more than two thousand civilians in one of the worst atrocities of the Fourth Succession War era. In the city of New Davies the pirates used some of their BattleMechs to distract the city police and militia while the rest of the band looted every bank and repository in the city. On the way out of the city the 'Mechs walked through three hospitals and one school. In Bainbridge the Boys tried a new tactic. Instead of cowing the police and militia with their 'Mechs, they detoured around the city and destroyed the electrical junctions at the fusion plants that supply Bainbridge with electrical power. They then proceeded directly to the food storage facilities and set them ablaze, which drew most of the emergency responders away from the city itself. They were able to loot with impunity.[1]
The Boys were finally brought to justice in 3038 by a detachment of the Eighth Lyran Regulars, and all of them were executed after being convicted by tribunal for crimes against humanity.[1]
