The ISL is now accepting applications for hire, please read on for more information:
The Inner Sphere Legionnaires Mercenary Corp was founded in 2784, directly following the exodus of Alexander Kerensky and the Star League Defense Force. Founded by Major Sarah Storme, the first of the legionnaires consisted primarily of mechwarriors of 451st strike battalion which remained behind as the major bulk of the SLDF withdrew from the Inner Sphere. Together with her two captains, Luther Vance and Marcus Dunherst, Major Storme forged the Legionnaires into formidable mercenary company scoring countless victories over the next 265 years. When the last remaining member of the original commanding tribunal, Luthar Vance, retired, the company was handed down to Sara Storme's son Jayce Storme, and his two highest ranking officers, Blake Heart, and Ralthus Constantine. This began a long standing tradition of handing down high command to the first born of the Storme bloodline, with the most recent being Kurt Storme, and the current High Commander Zeus Storme.
The ISL has earned a reputation for unwavering resolve and tactical ingenuity in battle, through countless contracts over hundreds of worlds in the Inner Sphere. The unit has built ties with other mercenary organizations by aiding them in battle. These organizations include such famous names as the Grey Death Legion and the Northwind Highlanders. These reasons primarily are why many mechwarriors seek the ISL for employment.
The ISL seeks skilled, dedicated mechwarriors, with resolve and determination to face what battles may come with the understanding that they are a part of a mercenary corporation that stands it's ground and gets results. In return, such mechwarriors are rewarded with the hard won spoils of their dedicated efforts, whilst maintaining unmatched professionalism. We want mechwarriors who can see beyond the C-bill, to the greater cause for which this company stands for.
Valores supra utilitatem: Values above profit.
=====================================================================================
In the Battletech universe, the ISL is the workhorse for a much more secretive organization known as the Order of Kerensky. This order believes fervently in reuniting the great houses of the Inner Sphere, and has attempted to place the ISL merc corp in a position that allows it to aid in decisive battles that may further their cause. While the founders hoped for the return of Aleksandr Kerensky, the current members of the order are split between the belief that he will return (despite the fact that he would be centuries dead by now) and the belief that even without Kerensky and the SLDF, the ideals and principles their organization were founded on must remain strong, so that the Inner Sphere may one day return to it's former glory.
Joining the ISL means you will be a part of a quality group of players, dedicated to team play. Practice and cooperation will be core aspects to our success as a unit.
New hires will be asked to choose a role type from the four available roles: scout, brawler, commander, heavy/defender. This will be your default job class, and will be what the ISL comes to you for first and foremost, so it should represent your preferred style of combat. Should you prove unable to perform in your desired role, you will be asked to try other roles to find a more suitable position for you.
It's important to note that choosing a role does not exclude you from playing in other combat roles. You will have plenty of opportunities to expand your skills into other skill trees, and we encourage that all ISL members have a broad variety of skills and abilities. We simply will use your role as our first method of delegating who fits where in any combat scenario.
Lastly, we ask that should you respond to this thread, you fill out this short questionnaire telling us about yourself. Once you've posted the questionnaire please register at our website and wait for approval: http://islmercs.spruz.com

About Zues Storm (call sign: A5mod3us):
I've been playing mechwarrior since mechwarrior 2, i've owned a copy of every mechwarrior game at one point or another. I love mechwarrior, and have read several of the battletech novels.
Unfortunately I've only played CBT a few times
I've only been involved in league play on mechwarrior 4 and mercs. I was a member of the Kell Hounds on the mechwarrior leagues, and started back when the MSN gaming zone was still around. This is my first command, but thanks to the help of some awesome people, I'm looking forward to forming and leading a strong and fun group of players into battle once mechwarrior online goes live.
Thanks for reading, and I hope you decide to apply to the ISL!
