        All of Sean's stories here are from 2nd edition.
hence the reference to the Squat's Rad Bomb (but that
point about 'stealers is certainly still valid). The
biker guild was the Squat bike company. Squat bikes were
the toughest around, and there were a ton of them.
Sounds like the squat player's luck was off that day.

        One of the old one-shots missiles that got lumped
into the current Vortex missile. If you hit an enemy
titan with one there was a chance you would get control of
that titan.
