Unit Description
The Tread of Doom was a combined-arms battalion focused on tanks, but also with VTOL and swift hovercraft.[1]
Operational History
IlClan Era
The Tread of Doom was one of the Mercenary units recruited on Galatea or Kandersteg in 3151. As the old Clan Jade Falcon Occupation Zone dissolved into the Hinterlands, a new state, mainly composed by old Falcon Warriors and the Falcon Merchant Caste, was born, the Alyina Mercantile League.[2] The AML leader, the Syndic Marena send emisaries to both planets to hire Mercenaries to protect their planets. the Tread of Doom was one of these, and was carried to their capital, Alyina.[3] However, mercenaries weren't familiar on old Clan space, and the AML regular warriors, former Clansmen, and mercenaries, began to clash, forcing the AMLto open extra military stockades... but one of the Doom members crossed the line. With the Tread stationed near New Delhi, Alyina's capital, a tank crewmember, in a drunken scuffle, killed a freeborn AML infantryman. Witnessess decried the act as a murder, and a tribunal found the crewman guilty, sentencing him to death. And the DOOM leaders didn't accept the sentence.[4] Derby Halloran, the Doom's leader, raised a ruckus, calling the tribunal as hypocrites: for him, the Clans were supposed to respect a kill made in fai fight... but his protests weren't considered: the AML wasn't a Clan anymore.[5] Late on the evening of 30 October, a time legend said the Devil walks the mortal world, the Doom attacked. Six heavy tanks rolled through downtown New Delhi, smashed open the jailhouse where his crewman was imprisoned. There, they liberated not only him, but also all other prisoners. The Doom's plans were to stole the contents of Jade Repository before fleeing: there, the AML had stored all riches from VaultShip Beta, but the attacking force, composed of hovercrafts and VTOL, wasn't unable to: The AML defended the repository with ferocity. Elementals in full armor met the Tread, and drove them off, after a fierce firefight, crippling two hovercrafts, but losed three Elementals.[6]
Defeated, the Tread searched another target, and managed to stole a small vault, lashing through the ferrocrete and dragging the vault to a VTOL. The loot was a small sum, but large enough for the Tread, and they fled the planet. The enraged Marenadidn't bother to order to pursue the Tread, and even considered to voiding all contracts on mercenaries, but the Lone Wolves leader convinced her to not do it.[7]
