Last Stand of Chavilier
🕑 Added 2020-11-10 15:48:50 +0000 UTC "General DeChavilier was engaged by a surrounding force of rebels using hand-held missile launchers and other weapons to attack the beleaguered loyalist forces. His Atlas had fallen down with only one leg functional, landing in another of the rebel's pit-traps. Instead of ejecting, he stayed at the controls of his BattleMech, returning fire as best he could while his troops had surrounded him, intent on defending the life of their commanding officer against the rebel ambush. As inferno missiles impacted his 'Mech repeatedly, the pit of oil finally caught fire, engulfing his prone machine. Finally, at what must have been the last possible moment, DeChavilier did eject. But as he did, heavy weapons fire from hidden rebel positions tore him apart. Aaron DeChavilier, Star League General and best friend of General Kerensky, was dead."

I love the iconic image of an Atlas fighting off impossible odds, in a desperate last stand. And General Aaron DeChavilier is exactly the story of that Atlas.
