Battle Magic / BMMU

The soon-to-be mercenary unit started as Mech Magic Inc., a BattleMech customization and refit shop on Outreach. Quickly acquiring a reputation as miracle workers, the elite techs of Mech Magic Inc. began training with the staff of Wolf’s Dragoons on how to work with New-tech and Clan-tech.

The group formed its own mercenary command, Battle Magic, to acquire material to modify their customers’ equipment. The bulk of their missions were made up of militia training and refit as well as tech extraction raids. Shortly after its formation the unit was noted for its willingness to engage in the particularly high-risk but highly lucrative field of Clan-tech extraction raids, before the large volume of Clan-tech flooding the market after Operation Bulldog and the Jade Falcon Incursion made it more cost-effective, not to mention much less risky, to pay the market price.

While intentionally staying out of the FedCom Civil War, Battle Magic made a healthy living selling its technical expertise to broken mercenary forces that streamed back to Outreach to rebuild. Not sitting still during this combat lull, Battle Magic underwent training in the still rare field of Battle Armor maintenance and repair, as well as working with the Blackwell Corporation to develop an inexpensive and reliable battle armor design for the mercenary market.
