Checking the Trench Hammer entry @ijw recently put up on the wiki I noticed this: The Trench-hammer was created by the Crabat mercenaries during the so-called "Tunnel War" of the Syndical Revolts in the Jupiter-Pluto circuit. The name of this weapon is a direct translation of the original Croatian "Čekićem Rova". Crabat mercenaries developed improvised versions of this weapon when they found that, for the intense fighting in the tunnels, they needed a powerful but manageable melee weapon for close quarter battle. Such weapon must allow them to hold an Assault Pistol with the other hand and could to be thrown with definitely lethal results for the target. So just some cool fluff for the origin or the weapon? Or are we going to see Trench Hammer/Assault Pistol armed Crabat mercenaries in the near future? Could they be next season's ITS prize?
Can't find the picture, but we were shown one with a mercenary biker accompanied by a trench-hammer equipped antipode. ah here https://www.facebook.com/groups/WGCInfinity/permalink/1921839084506086/
I saw her during the seminar but she looks Merovingienne, whereas the Crabat appear to be from Sol (They were active in the Jupiter - Pluto area) and are presumably Croatian in origin. From the description they sound like a Warband or LI with Assault Pistol, Trench-Hammer, and presumably Zero-G or multiterrain. Sounds like an interesting Merc.
