Background
Formed during the 1st Succession War, sometime prior to Summer 2829, by Lawrence Helmund Nelson, rightful Duke of Verde. Nelson was inspired by the book "Eleven Against the Stars" written by Loran, a Ranger in the Vega System. Loran was one of eleven Rangers, men who plied the long lonely routes between the two inhabited planets within the system. Nelson, on the run from enemies of his family, named himself the 12th Vegan Ranger. In this guise he started to build a mercenary unit to support his struggle to reclaim his birthright. Hence the 12th Vegan Rangers were born.
The 12th Vegan Rangers live by four main codes of behavior set out in Loran's book.
-A Ranger lives simply and honestly without delusions or manias
-A Ranger values loyalty, but does not follow others blindly
-A Ranger must serve people, and not corporations
-Above all, a Ranger must be free to follow his own destiny
(more in depth history of the Rangers here...http://www.sarna.net...h_Vegan_Rangers)

A little more about us.
The 12th Vegan Rangers, or 12VR as seen in-game for short, Is a MWLL (soon to include MWO) mercenary unit formed by AlfalphaCat in early 2011 as a unit for new or casual players to experience organized play in MWLL. Though most players are situated in North America, a large proportion of members reside in Pacific countries such as Australia and New Zealand, and are open to recruitment of European players as well.

So, do you have what it takes to be the next 12th Vegan Ranger? This unit is open to whomever wishes to join and can pass a basic test of skill. We are looking for mature players(18yrs old and up, though exceptions may be made).

Important: This is, and is not, a permanent unit, we will rotate active members as demand requires, after you have participated in three team battles you may be put back on the waiting list. When 'space' opens you can ask to be reactivated. (<<The specifics of this are still under consideration) Lance leaders will be chosen by lancemate votes.

Basically this is a unit for 'pub' type players wanting to play in a team/league environment. I am not the leader of this unit, we all are. Any of these preliminary rules that I have listed can be changed through a vote, and even inactive players have a vote. We will start with a 12 person active roster, but even if demand is high, you will get your turn eventually.

Unit's main location: USA
Interested in recruits from overseas: Actively recruiting for Asia Pacific Zone!!!
Focus of activities: MWLL, MWO
If competitive, planetary / campaign league or ladder: Ladder only, for now.
Main language: English
Voice server: Teamspeak 3

How to contact: PM on MWLL forums, or the 12thVR forums.

Sooo... do I know you ghost?

LOL Square! Guess there is a non MWLL 12th!! Guess when the game goes live it will be a race to see who grabs 'em first.

On a side note, if somebody else snags the rangers, then you and Alf won't have to run it

[AlfalphaCat]

You called?

[xesle]

I'm pretty sure reactor critical explosions will be a feature in MWO, right? *** help us if the rangers' curse lives on.

EDIT, wow, this forum filters THAT word?

Why not join us? We play the Mechwarrior:Living Legends mod for Crysis Wars ATM. Are you sure you haven't played that? I could've sworn there was a guy with your callsign, heck I might have even asked you to join back then. Also MWLL might sate your 'Mech cravings 'til next summer when we get to play this mammoth 'mechfest of MWO!!
