The Restless Souls is a Mercenary Unit based in the fictional universe of Battletech. We are a RPG (role-playing-game) unit based on PBF (play-by-forum). We operate under the guidance of Battletech-Mercenaries (BTM) which is a community of people who have put together a system to help and guide the mercenary units that apply by their rules.

Here Begins Your Travels With The Restless Souls Among The Stars Of The Inner Sphere!

The Shadow Divisions Uncovered!

Date: 6th June 3081

(18th April 2010)

The Restless Souls uncovered the diabolical plot of the Blakist to detonate a nuclear warhead against the denizens of innocent Lacklandians and thwarted it. They also chased the Word of Blake Shadow Division from Lackland however leaving behind small pockets of resistance. It was also discovered that the Percentor of the Shadow Division and Clan Star Adder had made a bargain to invade the Federated Suns Capitol of New Avalon with their first stepping stone to be the Broken Wheel Combat Region capitol world.

In a pitched battle the Restless Souls Mercenary Brigade, with the help of a rogue ComStar Level IV, put an end to the Blakist and Clan Star Adders delusions of granduer.

Restless Souls hunt Shadow Division

Date: 3rd October 3080

(22nd September 2009)

The Restless Souls have reemerged from hiding to perform a raid in Clan Star Adder held territory in the employ of the Federated Suns. It is beleived that they are in search of a Word of Blake Shadow Division, that has turned Lackland into a staging area for their larger offensive, feeding through replacement troops and supplies. There also appears to be some sort of operation going on in space, although CNS sources cannot determine what. Reports from the few intelligence assets left in the region indicate that the majority of Blakist naval assets, along with a large portion of their assault force, departed not long after, presumably to attack other Adder-held systems.

Unofficial reports state that the Restless Souls Brigade are being commissioned to disrupt the Word of Blake operations on Lackland and to determine what operations the Blakists are conducting in the system, and hinder them as much as possible. It has also been leaked from an unofficial source that elements of the Brigade will be siphoned off to provide what assistance they can to the civilian survivors in areas damaged by Word of Blake launched Weapons of Mass Destruction.

Restless Souls in Silenzio Stampa

Date: 1st January 3080

(1st July 2009)

The Restless Souls have still to release a report on their current location or their current contract. News reporters have unsuccessfully tried to find out information about the famed mercenary unit. The only contact the CNS had with Restless Souls personnel was at the Alice Spring Complex on Terra where the RS public relations officer there just said that the Restless Souls are for now in Silenzio Stampa.

Unofficial reports state that the unit was last seen in the region of the Kestrel Combat Region, where it was spread on multiple planets before gathering on Kestrel from where its traces were lost. From Fed Suns budget reports we can confirm that the mercenary unit is in the employ of the Federated Suns, but on what planet we cannot confirm yet.

Restless Souls return from Zortman!

Date: 1st July 3079

(1st May 2009)

After a long period of radio silence with the news crew all around the Free Worlds League the Restless Souls Mercenary Regiment is reported to be returning from the Civil War striffen nation towards the core planets. It is yet unclear what the next move of the famed mercenary unit will be as no one from the Restless Souls command staff has been available for comment.

Unoficial reports state that the unit has gone through an extensive reorganization including changes in lance nicknames for some of the original lances that have been with the unit since its primitive beginnings.

Xavier Steele has been the commander of The Restless Souls Mercenary Unit since its inception in 3069. Although plagued by a shortage of ‘MechWarriors, he has grown the unit into somewhat of a mini-Regiment with combined arms of tanks, infantry, as well as ‘Mechs. Some at the DMM have suggested that he resign due to his getting along in years and allow new blood circulate through the ranks. This is unlikely to happen. Steele considers himself a mentor to all the Souls Captains and Lieutenants and so will stay on until he thinks one of his Senior Staff is ready to pick up the controls. "After that," as he always says, "I'll consider retirement."

Senior Lieutenant Brandi Rodriguez, the units former-Executive Officer, has turned around the moral of the unit from an all-time low to above average high. This has been attributed to her background, that having been a lowly grunt herself, and her unorthodox style of command. The XO position has hit some hard times. After Brandi redirected her efforts to Battalion Adjutant, Nariko Matsuhita was recalled, however; within four short months she was Court Marshaled. With the serious injury that was sustained by Brandi in combat she was no longer an option for the XO position. Nariko’s replacement was Christian Levesque who within a month of becoming the Restless Souls Executive Officer accepted an alternate posting to a Davion Guard Unit. Then came one of the Soul’s lieutenants, namely Alex McCray. Alex took the reins of the XO seat and seemed to grab on to it for the long haul. He impressed by the sheer hours he spent every day deep into paperwork or at the controls of his mech. He was the winning ticket, but Lady Luck had something else in store for the Restless Souls and Alex succumbed to a terrible disease that kept him away from his posting for a long time. Without an XO for a long time Steele had to replace Alex with the Chief Logistics Officer, Anakin, an ‘adopted’ Wolf clanner. Anakin became one of the first clanners to obtain a senior posting in the DMM. He ‘rejuvenated’ the unit with new training programs that were a reminder of the enemy that almost conquered the Inner Sphere years back. He has been XO for over three years now, but if he keeps up fighting like he does, the Colonel might need to consider for yet another replacement.

Each Lance of the Restless Souls excels in a particular art of warfare. The Command Lance, Reaper Lance, can defend a piece of property like it was an entire Battalion all by itself, and is considered the Souls' defensive experts. The Assault Lance, called Mastodon, does best in the attack, using its massive size and long range firepower to blast through enemy positions. The Recon Lance, nicknamed Cheetah, is best at raiding and recon. With the increased size to Battalion and then to Regiment the lances have grown in size and in numbers. And so Wolverine, Dingo, Bronco and Headhunter have added their names to the lance roster. Their AeroSquadron now AeroWing, The Iron Falcon can appear behind enemy lines at will and wreck havoc, even through the most heavily defended strong points. The Restless Souls Vehicle Lances, Rhino, Gaur, Coyote and Warthog as well as its infantry units provide the Souls with the staying power they need to stay viable.

The Regiment as a whole is considered a leader when it comes to defense. The Restless Souls have an uncanny ability to use the terrain and resources around them to their best advantage. Enemies who think a field is empty find themselves shocked when Restless Souls 'Mechs suddenly spring up around them.
