Overview
In 3000 the First Davion Guards learned of a BattleMech repair facility on Sirius that was servicing five rare Spider ’Mechs. Staging a commando-style raid on the facility, the Guards dropped just outside the facility and quickly overwhelmed the defenders. Despite taking heavy damage, they suffered few losses and were able to depart the system with the Spiders they came for.[1][2]
