Tall, blonde and looking like a holovid director's dream come true of a MechWarrior, Ian Hawker has found himself in the middle of a deepening dilemna about his Khanship. Ian has long held the Crusader ideal to be the way of the future. In fact, shortly after becoming Khan, he initiated a series of reforms aimed at curtailing the autonomy of the lower castes and expelling all freeborn warriors from the frontline Galaxies. Both initiatives caused grumbling, but he cited the upcoming invasion of the Inner Sphere as the reason. Only the best and most capable warriors would be sent forth to conquer the blighted Inner Sphere and restore the Inner Sphere. The humiliating loss at Tukayyid has forced Hawker to reevaluate and reassess many of his beliefs and attitudes, particularly those regarding freeborn warriors. That they would by mutual unspoken accord sacrifice themselves to save the remaining trueborn warriors deeply humbled him. Shortly after the battle, Khan Hawker rescinded many of the opressive reforms he had instated. The business of rebuilding the touman (fighting arm) has kept him quite busy over the last few years. Khan Hawker's arrangements with the Jade Falcons and the Wolves has shortened the time needed to rearm and equip the shattered Alpha and Gamma Galaxies. Omega Galaxy was officially disbanded and its warriors formed the core of the new frontline Rho Galaxy. |
