Overview
Lyran Commonwealth forces conducted an objective raid on the Free Worlds League system of Shiloh in 2955, targeting a supply cache in the capital city of Randersville. After bogging down, the Arcturan Guards detached several Stinger LAMs, one of them piloted by Simon Rastler, to infiltrate the city center in aerospace mode before converting to ’Mech mode and searching for the cache. Once it was located they converted again to AirMech mode and flew off with their arms full of supplies. While the raid incurred heavy damage, the supplies they obtained more than made up for the combat losses.[1]
Notes
While the number of Stinger LAMs was never defined more than "several," each could only carry three tons of supplies making it unlikely this raid's balance sheet actually ended up in the black.
