Welcome to the year 3015! It's a hell of a time to be alive. Humanity has colonized thousands of star systems spanning a vast region of space known as the Inner Sphere. The golden age of cooperation and advancement is now a distant memory, and humanity has once again splintered into disparate factions all vying for supremacy. In the midst of these Succession Wars, power hungry Mercenaries like yourself are in a privileged position to capitalize big time. It's dangerous work but that's why you're here, right? If you've got an itch to blast, wreck, stomp and go all out ballistic, step inside and become your own weapon of war!
