AI Thread Summary
"Darkfighters Mercenary Command" appears to be a recruitment concept from the 1970s, potentially linked to the Battletech universe, which was popularized in the 1980s by FASA. The recruitment poster features a black and white design with text calling for fighters and specialists, suggesting a narrative-rich backdrop. The imagery includes a character named Vasquez, depicted as a man in a space helmet with a raygun, hinting at a sci-fi theme. Despite the intrigue surrounding this piece, there is limited information available online, indicating it may not have gained widespread recognition or documentation in gaming or literary circles. The connection to Battletech suggests it could be part of a larger universe or a fan-created element that has since faded from mainstream awareness.

Does anyone know anything about a thing from the 1970's called "Darkfighters Mercenary Command"? I don’t know if it’s from a novel, a game, or a “zine”.



I saw a poster in an antiques store about it. It was a single page, black and white text. It's basically a recruitment poster saying things like "Fighters needed on the Rim" and "Needed: Tunnelers and Rammen". It had a line drawing of a vaguely Hispanic or Filipino man in a space helmet holding a raygun with the caption "Fight with Vasquez".



I've been fascinated by this since I saw it partially because I can't find anything about it on the Net, and because this single page conjures up a universe of possible story lines.

Man, when the Devil comes a-knockin', he does not smell of sulphur and brimstone, he smells of sweet perfume and roses... Doing a bit of research for a short story. All I wanted was some examples of professions typical for jurors in a trial of the time and location of the story (1850s New Orleans - of which I am not very familiar, so I have my work cut out for me). ChatGPT delivered that very nicely, giving me a list of a dozen typical professions for the type of man that was eligible for...
