Rukaya was a MechWarrior and Arena Gladiator in the early to mid 31st century.[1]
Personal Details
Rukaya was known to be an aggressive fighter.
History & Tactics
Rukaya was the only female gladiator within the Ikhwan Stables, and requested admission to join the stable soon after Benjamin Tariq's first win in the arenas. Though the Azami often frown on women in combat, she was able to convince him to give her a slot after killing one of the former Legionnaires in a duel.
Though shunned by the rest of the Stables, her skill in the arenas generated much of the stable's cash flow.
Gossip at the time said she coveted Noorzad ibn Saud's Warhammer, which means many expected him to die in the near future.[2]
In June 3042, she participated in the challenge from the Iron Knights on the continent of Garringer to get revenge for the death of her stablemaster.[3]
The Iron Knights won the fight thanks to the full-scale battles they were still used to. They destroyed the six 'Mechs belonging to Ikhwan Stables, but they didn't look much the winners, losing several MechWarriors, their commanding officer among them. Only Rukaya survived from the Ikhwan Stables, but she was castigated from the stable barely two hours after returning to Victory City.[4]
BattleMechs
Rukaya piloted whatever BattleMech was available and used a Hunchback in the battle against the Iron Knights.[2][4]
