Travis Sherk was a Solaris Arms handler.[1]
History[edit]
Travis Sherk was Duncan Fisher's contact with Solaris Arms. Sometime in the 3030s, the company sponsored Fisher and paid him a lot of C-bills to showcase a souped-up BattleMech containing Helm-Core tech they had designed for the Solaris VII Arenas. They didn't anticipate Fisher losing miserably—so bad that fans started whispering that he was throwing matches on purpose. He left Solaris with the intent of sharpening his skills to make a grand comeback and was confident that once he had his 'Mech again, it would be smooth sailing.[1]
Fisher returned to Solaris and set up a clandestine meeting with Sherk on 29 December 3041 in Bracken Swamp. Sherk demanded Fisher pay back the money given him, and when that didn't happen, he directed his friends at Vampire Stables to take him down. Luckily for Fisher, he was accompanied by Jake Mason, who defended him so that he could retrieve his 'Mech. Unfortunately for Fisher, it was rigged with a nasty kill switch, so he was unable to continue competing alongside Mason in the arenas.[1]
