Kyle Powers

Kyle Powers (b. 3??? - d. 10 May 3133) was a Knight-Errant MechWarrior for The Republic of the Sphere. He is described as tall, slender and with a silver flattop.[1]

Notable Actions

Knight-Errant Kyle Powers was sent to Achernar to help repulse the invasion of the Steel Wolves. He was originally stationed on Ronel but was relieved by Knight-Errant Janella Lakewood in order to free him for reassignment. Powers' arrival on Achernar helped cement an alliance between the Republic and the Swordsworn against the invading Steel Wolves.[2]

The alliance would quickly fail. With Kyle Powers now in control of the Republic defenses on Archernar, the Swordsworn used the alliance to drag Powers into a more destructive conflict with the Steel Wolves. The plan was to weaken both forces enough so that a Swordsworn take-over of the planet would be assured. Led by Erik Sandoval-Groell, the Swordsworn ambushed a Steel Wolves salvage team on 1 March 3133.[3] Star Colonel Torrent, leader of the Steel Wolves, considered this a dishonorable attack and used it as an opportunity to destroy the Republic-Swordsworn alliance by eliminating the person who founded it.[4] Threatening attacks on Achernar's infrastructure and HPG station, Torrent challenged Powers to a Trial of Grievance.[5]

Death

Powers was killed by Torrent during a Trial of Grievance on Achernar.[6]

BattleMech

Kyle Powers piloted a Jupiter BattleMech he named, "Jove". This machine is described as having a paint scheme of "bands of tans, yellows and faded reds with one great red spot swirling in a storm over the Jupiter’s left chest.".[7]
