![]() For all their successes in various shadow war misdeeds, Comstar found their training doctrines rather amusingly overstretched during that period. As another part of their inexperience due to their perceived untouchable nature, the Comguards and ROM would also receive a number of rude shocks during the Royal Wedding of Hanse and Melissa, as their inexperience and over-reliance on technology allowed several key persons to smuggle weapons onto Terra, from Justin Allard's prosthetic hand with an integrated laser to Jaime Wolf with Tetsuhara's katana, and a number of spooks were able to infiltrate hidden Comstar facilities while the Wedding event was ongoing.Without the overwhelming tech disparity to hold them back, the pirates managed to inflict horrendous casualties in the ComGuards, who were forced to just overwhelm them with numbers, something they would suceed in doing, but the resulting bodycount would favour the pirates a little over 2 to 1. Under most circumstances, it would be, had it not been for the fact that ROM had spent the last 3 years supplying him with roughly a Regiment's worth of high end Battlemechs, which were being driven by skilled pilots, hardened by years of piracy and warfare, and baying for ComStar's head after they caused their beloved boss' death. This development made McGirk understandably upset and he proceeded to embark on a campaign of extermination on any and all ComStar units he could find, ComStar responded by throwing a full division at him, thinking it would be a roll over. ![]() ROM then sent forth a ComGuard Precentor to negotiate a return to ComStar's agenda, he fudged the negotiations so badly that his unit had to shoot his way out of the meeting, killing Darleen Dunson in the process. However, two leaders of said pirate groups, "Black" Jack McGirk and Darleen Dunson fell in love with each other and declared they would unite their outfits into a single unit, one that proved too strong to be controlled. The ROM supplied several groups of pirates with high end 'mechs and aerospace assets, so said pirates could weaken their regional opponents. The Jolly Roger affair, which saw the comical levels of incompetence that plagued early ComStar's ROM and ComGuards in full display.
