Rough Riders

Rough Riders was a Succession War era Taurian Concordat holovid series.

Overview[edit]

Spawned by the increasing "Wild West" ethos that took hold in the Periphery following the collapse of the Star League, Rough Riders was a popular holovid series on Erod's Escape that centered around BattleMech-riding Errants seeking to protect colonial settlers from the perennial scourge of pirate raiders.[1]

In one of the BattleTech video game's random events, "New Holovids," if the player has upgraded the Argo's Lounge they can select to convert it to holovid theater one night a week, the first randomly selected showing being an episode of Rough Riders. Two of the unit's MechWarriors enjoy discussing the show's apparently inconsistent authenticity and set design for the colonial settlements of the time period, leaving them both in High Spirits.[2]
