Talk:Aphros Security Corps
Can anyone else confirm this unit existed? The citation is page 95 of a 72 page scenario book.HunterGratzner (talk) 10:15, 11 February 2021 (EST)
- I have already raised it with Pserratv, he is usually spot on with his data so it likely does exist, he just listed the wrong book in the reference. We just need to figure out what book it was!--Dmon (talk) 10:37, 11 February 2021 (EST)
- Yeah, I've a search-able PDF of the book and I do not see any mention of those three words together. In fact, "Aphros" itself is only mentioned twice. "Security" usually references computer defenses with its 35 instances, and "explorer" is usually in conjunction with "corps". I wonder, Pserratv, if you labeled it in your notes as a placeholder. Looking at the statement on page 10:
- "...Word of Blake troops landed on Terra's moon to secure the Copernicus and Serenity bases, while additional forces attacked the War Academy on Mars and Aphros on Venus. The attackers secured Aphros and the War Academy, although only six 'Mechs survived the battle for the academy."
- The statement reverses the placement of the locations ("War Academy on Mars" and "Aphros on Venus") in the 2nd sentence ("secured Aphros and the War Academy"), with the loss of all but six 'Mechs associated with the Mars' academy. Maybe you mistook the mentioned academy to be referencing the Military Academy (on Aphros), and saw the WOB losses as indicative of a security force? I'm going to tag this for deletion for the meantime. No need to rush to carry through, though. --Revanche (talk|contribs) 12:52, 13 May 2021 (EDT)
