I Yue Fei of the planet Woodstock call loyal sons and daughters of the Capellan Confederation.

The celestial throne can not overtly oppose its enemies, but loyal subjects can elect to stand up and be counted. As free mercenaries, the celestial throne will not be held accountable for cuts our blades of light carve from the festering beast that has ravaged our [color=#3A2A34]Tian Chao (Celestial empire).[/color]

The Federated Commonwealth will pay for the crimes of its tyrannical covetous rulers. Davion will fall. It will be our taloned fists that will be wrapped round their throats as we choke the last breath from their poisonous carcases!

Jin Yao Guai will draw first blood!

Interesting translation. Where did you come across it?

Jīnshǔ móguǐ (金属魔鬼) might be more to your liking (and more Mandarin).

But there was no way I was going to call my unit magwi :rolleyes: ... or gremlins ... there are many different demons in Chinese mythology. Gremlins was not one I wanted to connect with.

With the announcement of the closed Beta I want to breath life into this ageing thread.

Are there any mercenaries that remember loyalty to the Eternal throne?

Lets start chatting and preparing.
