This mercenary unit has been around for a long time by human standards; however, not by Inner Sphere standards, since we did not participate until near the end of the 3rd Succession War.  Regardless, it has been a long, weather-beaten and worn, road for us, and although we've had our troubles within the unit, we prevail to this day.

Recently, due to required transitional elements in real life and in the BattleTech/MechWarrior universe, Jerry "LightScout" Stewart and Kay "Gideon" Wolf have decided to co-command AU; LightScout is in command of the Online Gaming (OG) aspect of AU, and Wolf is in command of the Role-Playing (RP) aspect.  LightScout is more capable of dealing with on-line aspects of gaming in the BattleTech universe, while Wolf will keep the role-playing going.  It is our sincere hope to be able to provide the best possible experience in the BattleTech universe for joining MechWarriors and potential in-universe employers alike.  Please, have a look around and, if you like what you see, drop us a line.

Although we are likely to play in some MechWarrior IV leagues, as well as MegaMek, BattleTech Simulator, and other versions of BattleTech and MechWarrior, there is no intent of holding back anyone who would prefer only to role-play, or only to play Mercs.  However, should you decide to come to Armageddon Unlimited, understand you're doing it as a player living through the eyes of a character in the BattleTech/MechWarrior Universe of 3067, at the end of the Federated-Commonwealth Civil War and prior to the Word of Blake Jihad, despite the present time period of whatever league you're participating in.

Should you decide to role-play a character here, whether you're actively role-playing or not, you will be expected to commit your character to the completion of certain requirements to advance in rank and position within this unit; time in service is no longer enough.  Alternately, if you don't care about rank and position, you are never required to complete these requirements; however, be aware others may take your position and/or your rank as a result of their own diligence.  Regardless of how deep or shallow you get into your character, I believe you will find a home here with us, should you decide we are the type of unit you are looking for.  From this point forward, and throughout the web site, your character will be addressed more than you.  Thank you.

BattleTech-Mercenaries is a collection of Play-by-Email and Play-by-Forum role-playing groups which deals with the mercenary aspect of life in the Inner Sphere post-3067; the year is, presently, 3075.  BTM handles all contracting of units, treating the mercenary units much like a fleet in Star Trek on-line games.  Once a contract is taken by a unit CO, who also portrays the GameMaster of the RPG, a story is set up and begun, and all players contracted with the mercenary unit play in that adventure, with a mind towards resolving it quickly, in order to move on to other contracts.

Unfortunately, Armageddon Unlimited is not allowed to participate because the maximum size of the starting unit is company size, or 12 BattleMechs, aerospace fighter support, and a DropShip.  Rather than allow this to keep AU down, however, we will be playing as Ignatova's Instigators, a small band headed by an ex-Ghost Bear Clan warrior who's worked herself up the ranks in Armageddon Unlimited and is now striking out on her own as a merc.

Please refer to the Instigators web site for more information, and please look over the entire web site at BattleTech Mercenaries.
This unit is a Planetary Assault unit with units developed to be split off for purposes of reconnaissance, guerrilla warfare, and to have whole battalions split off to perform various contracted duties where necessary and paid.

Our best and brightest members will be promoted into leadership positions and, eventually, into the Command Staff, based on how you play.  If you believe you have an aptitude for leadership you will be tested to see if it is true, and if you don't want anything to do with leadership, but your actions and words speak differently, and they will betray you, you will be promoted, anyway.  Being an excellent warrior isn't the only reason to rise in ranks, but it's an important part.

This is Armageddon Unlimited!
Although this web site is not overly extensive, I thought it prudent to put in some descriptions of what the buttons in the menu to the left take you to...
  • HOME will always bring you back to this page.
  • THE UNIT takes you to the largest portion of the site, including our contract fee schedule, an extensive history of the unit and important personalities, including all of our contracts, unit news, and current and historical member rosters.
  • JOIN US will take you directly to our join form.  You should have a response within 24 hours of submitting your application to join us, although assigning you to a unit and having you download and read our Basic Enlisted Operations Manual for new members, then testing you to see what training you may yet need will take a little longer, perhaps a week or so.
  • FORUMS is a link to the basic Public Forum(s) available to anyone who comes to take a look at our unit.
  • ENLISTED allows new members to download the Basic Enlisted Operations Manual (mandatory for new members), and access links to the Enlisted forum(s).
  • NCOs is where the Non-Commissioned Officers play, finding links to the NCO Forum(s).
  • OFFICERS is mainly for the higher ranking members of the unit, although hopefully there will be something you find shiny here to entice you into joining the unit, and then succeeding into an Officer position.  Some basics about being an officer are maintained here, as well as links to the Officer Forum(s).
Again, welcome to our web site.
