History:
The unit 'Ahnenreich' was founded 2408 in Tharkad by Katherine Steiner after her husband Archon Alistair Marsden died in the tank offensive of Menkent. The unit was founded to establish a private secret honourable and loyal guardian unit to defend the goals of Katherine Steiner, the future of the Steiner dynasty and her first son.
The first goals were to push back the Draconis Combine Invasion from 2407 by fighting in secret mission to get back control of important strategically regions on Menkent. Only the most loyal guards of the throne were asked to serve the unit with an ideology and honor which is settled back in one of many old german military traditions and organizations. After several name changes of the unit Katherine Steiner decides to call the unit 'Ahnenreich' to represent the honorable past of her ancestors back on old Terra.
The few members of the special unit had to master several mental and physical training to be qualified for an unofficial fight to the death mission to prove their loyalty and combat experience before getting a secured place in the unit by confirming an oath to serve only the leader of the great House Steiner throughout all time. This contract consists up to date.
Soon afterwards the new battlemech aera evolved, the unit was assigned to become a battlemech combat unit and Katherine Steiner usurped the unit to have access to the newest technologies and huge financial fundings to create a, from the normal military seperated, self organized loyal secret military force. Only Katherine Steiner and all following House Steiner Archons were able to give orders to the leader of the unit 'Ahnenreich'. The units main seat up to date is on the planet 'Eschenberg' located in the former District of Donegal region of the Protectorate of Donegal.
Since the old age of House Steiner the unit served all Archons of the house with furious devotion and force. The unit 'Ahnenreich' worked unseen in the background and saw many serious battles throughout the centuries from all the Succession Wars, Civil Wars and Ronin Wars up to the current Clan Invasion they proved boundless their combat strenght and devotion.
In November 3051 Melissa Steiner ordered 'Ahnenreich' to gather some Lostech from an hidden secret battlemech facility on the planet Alyina. At this time Alyina was already domain of Clan Jade Falcon and far away from secure borders deep in the enemy territory.
Due to the advanced technology of the unit, Ahnenreich was capable of breaking through the Clan space border defences with a newly designed jumpship. Unfortunately the jumpship got noticed after it droped the two elite combat lances to the atmosphere of the planet Alyina. By detecting the jump traces the Clan Jade Falcon was able to destroy the stealthed jumpship due to calculations of its position.
Athmosperic inteferences preventing the two lances to contact the jumpship to get more informations about its status before they got control of the facility with its advanced transmitters.
Due to the thick jungles of Alyina the unit was able to get control of the facilities unnoticed within two days but the Clan Jade Falcon calculated the drop coordinates of the Ahnenreich lances and sends out its forces to engage and eradicate. While at the facility the lance commanders noticed their current hopeless situation and they decided for the moment to hold the position and rethink their options. In the comming weeks the eight pilots of Ahnenreich destroyed several lances of Clan Jade Falcon in a guerilla like combat style due to superior piloting and discipline with minor losts. With the more and more overwhelming Clan Jade Falcon forces in the back and with no supply left the lance commanders decides to seal the facility and try to break through the cauldron to reach the small coastal city 'Dove Costoso' to get access to a maintenance jumpship area.
The last five remaining pilots of the unit started an attack in the night of the january 8th in 3052. While the breakthrough they encountered one Clan Jade Falcon lance who get destroyed without any lost before reaching the gates of the city. Three more Clan Jade Falcon lances were already alerted and prepared for an attack on the city. The already heavily damaged remaining battlemechs of the unit Ahnenreich were moving further heading towards the jumpship station with their last hope on leaving this planet alive. At the gates of the city one heavily armed Clan Jade Falcon lance was able to shot down two more mechs of Ahnenreich in a open space area before getting destroyed by battleproved veterans of the last three remaining Ahnenreich pilots. Inside the city another lance of Clan Jade Falcon appeared direct infront of the last remaining pilots. A heavy, furious and brutal battle occurred and in the end the last pilot of Ahnenreich stood victorious above two madcats and two novacats. With his last energy he steps forward to the entrance of the jumpship area to leave the planet but suddenly a in cover remaining Clan Jade Falcon lance appeared to shot down the last 'Devastator' battlemech of the unit Ahnenreich with an full-automatic fire of sixteen UAC-5 Autocannons.
A finally successfully salvage of a black box of one, not in self destruction blown up 'Devastator' battlemech, the Clan Jade Falcon was able to achieve informations about the existence of the secret special battlemech-unit called 'Ahnenreich'. This information was used to secure connections of many unresolved attacks on clan conquered planets and battles with unidentified battlemechs and their unknown origins.
The knowlege about the unit Ahnenreich was from this moment scattered all over the Inner Spere and the Clans. Rumors of an fearless and battle-tested secret Steiner combat battlemech unit was born. The mission of Alyina got popular around the worlds and inflicted deep respect throughout all battlemech pilots.
Right now is the unit in combat with the Clans, to hold against the 'Operation Revival' like a guardian shield, by defending the House itself and several important planets.
We, Ahnenreich, the hidden fist of House Steiner will fight until the very end to defend our great House, to hold high our banner of courage and honor! With the might of our ancestors we will be victorious above all our enemies! We know no fear! We are the glorious, brutal fist of House Steiner!
Death to all enemies of House Steiner!
Common battle cries of our unit:
"Gott mit uns!" , "Für Steiner!"
"God with us! , "For Steiner!"
Yours sincerely,
Ahne [Unit Leader]
