This counterattack had been a pure bluff, with the DCMS stretched to breaking point to pull it off, with the AFFS and LCAF needing only to hold their nerve and continue the war to win.

The ship could only be an impostor. Ordering tactical command to scramble aerospace fighters and close down all airspace over Avalon City, he at once headed for the 'Mech bays. With the [[1st Davion Guards]] offworld on [[Kawich]] and the battalion of the Davion Heavy Guards normally also assigned to the palace offworld with their Regiment on [[New Aragon]], Avalon City had in fact been left only lightly defended. Both enthusiastic about being able to finally make a direct and personal contribution to the war as well as enraged by the attack itself, Hanse Davion mounted his ''[[BattleMaster]]'' and moved out at best speed for the NAIS. |
| − | Arriving on the scene, he found he was facing no less a unit than House Liao's [[Death Commandos]]. Undaunted, he engaged, destroying first a ''[[Panther]]'' then backhanding a ''[[Marauder]]'' onto its back. Frantic calls of alarm at the unexpected appearance of the assault 'Mech in their midst brought in additional Death Commando forces, with Hanse then in rapid succession destroying a ''[[Griffin]]'' with a punch to its cockpit (which destroyed his PPC in the process) and a [[Locust]] with his medium lasers. Making use of his 'Mech's more unique features, he discarded his PPC and ripped the arm from the downed ''Marauder'', then flung himself straight into the middle of the confused enemy forces at hand-to-hand range, the enemy unable to fire upon him without risk of hitting each other. He shoulder charged a jumping ''[[Stinger]]'' which spun out of control and killed its pilot on crash landing, then used his improvised club to, in quick succession, cripple a ''[[Centurion (BattleMech)|Centurion]]'' and a ''[[Cicada]]'' before almost literally flattening a ''[[Scorpion]]''. At this point, additional Davion Forces in [[Team Banzai]] arrived and started to engage the Death Commandos. Fighting on, Hanse and Team Banzai successfully defeated the 'Mech unit (who fought to the death, ensuring they were not taken alive), as NAIS security managed to fight off the infantry attempting to attack the facility, now robbed of their 'Mech support. In the weeks ahead, it would be discovered that these could not have been the Death Commandos, the ''real'' Death Commandos were in fact busy facing down Morgan Hasek-Davion on Kathil at that exact same time. Soon enough, the Prince would (correctly) come to suspect that this had been some kind of covert ComStar attack force and Hanse would mark ComStar as perhaps his greatest enemy from this point forward. | + | Arriving on the scene, he found he was facing no less a unit than House Liao's [[Death Commandos]].

| − | However, given their critical value to the Federated Suns and later, Commonwealth, Hanse could not act directly against ComStar, instead fighting a shadow war with Primus Myndo Waterly and ROM up until her death in 3052. His next target would instead be that which he had held the longest grudge against; in [[3039]], he turned the might of the united armies of the [[Federated Commonwealth]] against the [[Draconis Combine]]. His [[War of 3039|assaults]], however, were undermined by [[ComStar]]'s covert aid to the [[DCMS]] and a strategically brilliant counterattack, directed by [[Theodore Kurita]] that led to the loss of critical logistical centers, most notably the [[BattleMech]] factories on the planet [[Quentin]]. This counterattack had been a pure bluff, with the DCMS stretched to breaking point to pull it off, with the AFFS and LCAF needing only to hold their nerve and continue the war to win. Hanse however blinked first and called off the attack after the showing of unexpected strength. Publicly, Hanse claimed victory in the [[War of 3039]], as the conflict became known. Indeed, he had succeeded in recapturing several worlds that had been lost to [[House Kurita]] in the [[First Succession War]], and in fact took more worlds than he lost. Privately, however, he admitted that he had been strategically beaten and showed a genuine respect for [[Theodore Kurita]]. As Hanse would later explain to his son Victor just before his first deployment as an AFFC officer, up until Theodore had come of age the DCMS had ultimately been predictable, hemmed in Takashi's rigidity and traditionalism. Theodore, however, had managed to get a significant amount of the DCMS to act in a much more dangerously flexible way and while the strategic balance of power remained with the Federated Commonwealth, Hanse simply didn't consider crushing the Combine worth the cost that Theodore would demand of him. And accordingly, between 3040 and 3050, there was very little activity beyond minor raiding on the Combine-FedCom border. | + | However, given their critical value to the Federated Suns and later, Commonwealth, Hanse could not act directly against ComStar, instead fighting a shadow war with Primus Myndo Waterly and ROM up until her death in 3052.

This dynasty would become one of the dominant political forces of the next century.

[[Alaric Ward]] was created using the genes of Victor and Katherine, combined with [[Vladimir Ward]], and it would ironically be a Clan warrior, not the leader of a united Federated Commonwealth as Hanse envisioned, who would be the Steiner-Davion to proclaim himself First Lord. |

He used this most famously to prove his identity with [[Ardan Sortek]]'s help when [[Maximilian Liao]] tried to replace him with an impostor. He named the 'Mech ''Cadmus'', but later he renamed it ''Dana'', probably for his lost love. After Hanse's death, ''Cadmus/Dana'' wasn't used by Victor Davion: he preferred other machines, and wanted to escape from his father's shadow, so the 'Mech was made the centerpiece of a war memorial on the grounds of the [[NAIS]]. Heavily damaged during a Blakist bombardment of New Avalon in the [[Word of Blake Jihad]], ''Dana'' was piloted to a safe place and served as the personal ride of several mid-ranking Davion officers, until it was destroyed during the climactic Blakist assault in [[3073]], which temporarily secured the Suns capital. However, the Blakists didn't know what they had, and after New Avalon's liberation, ''Dana''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s remains were found in a salvage warehouse in [[3074]]. Lovingly restored, ''Dana'' again served as a museum piece, until the Kuritan occupation of New Avalon after the [[Battle of New Avalon (3146)|Battle of New Avalon]] in 3146. The Kuritans destroyed any Davion monument, but reports indicate than they didn't do so with ''Dana''. The Kuritan commander had the storied 'Mech shipped back to [[Luthien]] as a prize.<ref>''Battletech Legends'' p. 35</ref> |
