Darian Ward was a Bloodnamed officer of the Wolf Empire's Ninth Wolf Assault Cluster during the Dark Age Era.[2]
History
Star Captain Darian was an imposing MechWarrior of the Wolf Empire who had few friends but, nevertheless, exemplified the ideal soldier. He was known for executing all of his orders quickly and without questions but the other members of his Trinary greatly feared him, which was supported by their increased death and post-traumatic stress rates. Additionally, Darian had voiced his displeasure at sharing the Ward Bloodhouse with Khan Alaric Ward, as it was his belief that Khan Ward's heritage precluded him from laying a claim to his Bloodname. While the Khan's repeated successes forced Darian to keep silent, if Khan Ward ever stalled in his offensive against the Republic of the Sphere he would have been the first to officially challenge Ward's rule of the Clan.[1]
During the Wolf Empire's invasion of the Republic Remnant world of Chertan, the Ninth Wolf Assault Cluster faced off against the Third Principes Guards along the shores of the Ontario Sea. The Republic forces had hunkered down on a ridge comprised of dense, heavy-metal rocks and used their artillery assets to batter the Ninth Assaults' heavy machines and Elemental forces. The commander of the Ninth responded by dispatching Darian's Star to oust the enemy forces, which they did through the use of their superchargers and inferno munitions. When the Third's survivors retreated into the city of Altonia and requested hegira, the Ninth were outraged that an enemy they saw as honorless was requesting honorable treatment and proceeded to annihilate the Principes Guards in heavy street-to-street fighting. During the final clashes, Darian's Star accounted for twice their number in defeated Republic soldiers and their contribution to the battle was directly credited with the fighting's quick conclusion.[2]
